NYC Millwork Painter

 New owners of a luxury penthouse in Midtown East Manhattan recognized and appreciated the quality elements in wood paneling and wood floors, but envisioned a lighter, brighter home without wallpaper, medium wood tones on the walls and bookcases and dark wood floors. Thus, we stepped in to remove wallpaper, patch walls, sand, sand and sand some more before spray painting the fine millwork and refinishing the floors. We primed this gorgeous woodwork with many coats, sanding in between for the most smooth, lustrous finish.

 Farrow & Ball is a British manufacturer of fine paints which reflect historic color palettes, or in their version of English, “colour” palettes. Their New White paint is named for it being more warm than classic whites for its yellow base. It can take on creamy, chamois, ivory and sheep’s wool tones, reflecting light and creating an alluring interior environment. Spray painting such a luxury residence is not for the faint of heart or inexperienced paint contractor. The desired result comes only from extensive involvement in superior painting projects with the best equipment and most highly skilled tradesmen. Refinishing the floors to a lighter wood also revitalized the interior atmosphere. This is now a more striking 21st century penthouse where light plays off the walls, and an unrivaled warmth envelops the new residents.

Accent Wall and Bookcase Painting

The Upper West Side is known for its energy, cultural attractions and wonderful outdoor spaces. It was the backdrop for the movie “You’ve Got Mail” and the television series “Seinfeld.” People of all ages from all over the world call it home. We went to one of the homes recently to paint an accent wall, then carry the theme to the back wall of the corner bookcases. When the floors and adjacent spaces were safety protected, our team cleaned, sanded, primed and painted everything.

 The Benjamin Moore paint color is named Bonne Nuit, which is French for “good night.” We think it could be dubbed Bonne à Tout Moment meaning “good anytime.” The accent wall is spacious and framed with gorgeous trim. You do not need experience painting back walls between bookcase shelves to figure out that it’s a tricky project. For us, it’s just all in a day’s work, and the contrast between the walls, trim and shelving is striking and chic with a generous infusion of glamour and mystique.
