Stonington Gray on Trim

 Gray is often heralded for a classy, neutral interior statement, and what better place to come home to an elegant lifestyle than Park Avenue. Named for its lush park-like greenery, the center of the wide boulevard initially held a railway track for the New York & Harlem Railroad. Once that was gone, different sections were planted, and eventually the entire length of Fourth Avenue was renamed Park Avenue.

In the early 1980s, a group of concerned residents banded together to preserve iron fences and garden areas which had deteriorated. Dubbed Patrons of Park Avenue (POPA -  http://www.patronsofparkavenue.org ), the new organization worked alongside the city parks department (which owns the mall land strips) and a landscape architect to restore the trees and plantings. POPA is still very active supporting the maintenance and plants in these lush outdoor malls which enhance life on Park Avenue.

Meanwhile, this luxury home needed a new interior vision to do away with some very weird designs and mottled paint. In keeping with the calm intent for the room, the client selected Benjamin Moore’s Calm paint for the walls. This soothing shade of white sports a soft hint of lavender-gray. The trim color of Stonington Gray added just a little punch to frame the space at the top and bottom where generous molding meets the ceiling and the floor. This is now a gracious place for sweet dreams.

Home Painter in Milburn

Paper Mill Playhouse, the State Theatre of New Jersey, was established in 1938 in the township of  Millburn. Mustard, which has been around for thousands of years, is one of the all-time great condiments for hotdogs and ham sandwiches. But living among mustard-colored walls did not suit this Millburn homeowner’s idea of desirable room paint. While colors move in and out of favor and trend, the neutral palette never goes out of style. And the achromatic color of gray, in the space between white and black, carries many connotations and a lot of power. 

Gray exudes modesty, safety and reliability. There’s an emotional tone of maturity – think gray hair, of course – and dignity. With exquisite white trim like in this room, the contrast offers elegance and grace. As a relaxed color with a subtle hint of pewter and silver, it automatically exhibits a sophisticated soothing ambience.

 Exquisite Trim Painters 

Protecting the floor was job one, and covering the dull venetian gold with this feathery shade of gray made the job fun and exciting. One of the great benefits of being painters is experiencing the mood and ambiance transformations in a space as the job unfolds. Besides holding to the highest standards for painting and renovation work, our team is sensitive to the vibes of a newly painted room. We felt really good about this project with this lovely, intricate trim and color choice of the homeowners. Their satisfaction with our work makes it a win-win all around.
