NYC Home Interior Painting

The English scientist Michael Faraday [1791-1867] contributed to the study of electromagnetism and is credited with discovering the principles underlying electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis. That’s complex stuff. But, in simplicity, Faraday observed: “Water is to me, I confess, a phenomenon which continually awakens new feelings of wonder as often as I view it.”

Living on the water in the Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass neighborhood, aka DUMBO, must elicit “new feelings of wonder” every day for the residents of this home. The East River is framed by large windows, and not wishing to take away anything from this awesome view, we were instructed to paint the walls with a soft wheat neutral. It’s the perfect complement to the blue (or gray) skies and the river, which really isn’t a river at all. It is a salt water tidal estuary between Upper New York Bay and Long Island Sound. But we digress. Painting inside this home was an exceptional experience for the view, and we know the residents love what we did inside, even if not quite as much as loving their ever-flowing, peaceful water outside.
