The Painting of an Entire House #8

I haven't been updating this blog lately.  It's not that we have not been working.  I've actually been working very hard and have been behind schedule all summer.  Many of the jobs we've done are not interesting enough to show here or they do not have a story.  I don't think posting color changes here will really be interesting. I also need to remember my camera more often.

This was my first collaboration with Greensaw Building and Design.  They had the contact to strip the kitchen to the brick and act as the general contractor for the rehab of this house.  They had the electricity rewired, floors refinished, and hired me and my team to repair and paint the interior of the house.

After the electricians did their thing, the ceilings and walls were in really bad shape.  The colors of the rooms were rather drab and dirty, as well.  Here are pictures of the house when we first found it compared to our fine work.

The living room had a large channel torn out by the electricians.  We installed new 1/4" drywall over the entire thing and painted the room.

On the other side of the living room, they had some since built-in bookshelves.  We did some repairs and gave it some life.

I have photos of 2 of the 3 bedrooms.  They were rather pale, dirty, and littered with holes made by the electricians.  We repaired and painted everything.

Following are the before and after pictures of the hallway. 

Finally, here are the pictures of the custom kitchen.  We installed the drywall to the studs, repaired and painted the rest of the house while Greensaw built it, and then we painted it when they were done.  Sorry, I neglected to take pictures of the empty room before we installed the drywall.

This project was my first of (hopefully) many collaborations with Greensaw Design and Build.  They are a great group of designers and project managers.  I enjoyed working with them on this project, and we did a great job on this house.
