Brooklyn Historic House Painter

The historic neighborhoods in New York City are loaded with character and architecture that melds old and new, vintage with modern. As one family was preparing to move into a charming house constructed in the late 1800s, they had the foresight to paint ahead of time while spaces were empty. This room sports a stunning original hardwood floor, which would have been common in the new build more than a century ago.

Picture rail molding near ceilings serves many purposes, hanging art from wires among them. It lends an antique style element along with the visual benefit of making the ceiling appear larger. The contemporary, monochromatic strategy of painting the trim and baseboards the same as the walls creates a seamless warmth which can be complemented comfortably with wall decor, fabrics and furnishings. This Sherwin-Williams Niebla Azul is a sophisticated grayish-blue with green undertones. The room evokes dignity and safety, and the neighborhood boasts one of the most iconic parks in the Big Apple. Welcome home.
