Painting RemodelingBathroom Full Repaint Project

PaintingBathroom Makeover

Our Task

Our client had a small area of paint bubble up after some water damage and when we showed them the price to repair the area and match the existing paint, a whole room repaint made more sense.

Our Process

We removed the mirror and fixtures, fixed the damaged area, did a light clean and sand on he walls, and began to paint. They wanted to do the dredging style where the walls and ceilings are the same color so we applied 2 coats to the walls and it took 3 to get the ceiling looking good.
For this project we used the Sherwin Williams Cashmere paint in a Plum Dandy semi gloss.

The Result

The customer was happy with the result and I think it turned out well too. The darker color did call for brighter light bulbs and I recommended they switch the wall accessories from stainless steel to gold to make the color pop a bit more.

LandscapingThistle Takeover

We got called to a place that had been in need of some work for a long time. The mother of the family was a gardener and as she aged and eventually passed, nature took back control of her gardens and yard.

The family didn’t know where to start and honestly, I almost didn’t either.

We spent almost a full day only pulling Thistle. It is important when you have overgrowth like this to pull as many roots as you can to limit the ability for the vegetation to regrow.

Once we got most of the weeds out, we could kind of see what was there originally, recut some beds, and filled the open areas with wood chips to help limit the amount of maintenance they would have to do.

The family and even the neighbors came out to tell us how happy they were with thee new look.

We hope this helps the family remember moms garden for what it was and gives them the ability to take care of things from here on out.

RepairRehang Photo Board

The bracket holding this board up was a little weak and they wanted it lowered a bit. I was able to get it lowered, secured, and repainted, and no sign of the old holes.

Tools Used:

Drill
Drill Bit
Drywall Knife
Marker
Level

Materials Used:

Paint
Joint Compound
Painters Tape
Screw with Molly Anchor

Procedure:

Take down the existing board and remove the screws.
Sand down the area so that it is flat and fill holes with joint compound and allow the compound to dry.
I used a piece of painter’s tape to trace where the mounting holes on the board were and applied it to the wall.
Once I made sure it was level and centered, I drilled where I marked the holes on the tape.
I then installed the anchors and screws leaving them sticking just out of the wall so they could hook into the board.
I painted over the new patch work and hung the photo board back up in its new place.
