We took our time to meticulously cover all the floors with reinforced brown paper. Carfeully covered the medica equipment. Plaster holes/cracks and other damaged areas. The client wanted something new for the trim/doors and chose New York State of Mind from Benjamin Moore for their new trim/doors color. How fitting! Turned out great and is helpful for longevity.

The Art of Color: Crafting an Adult Playroom in Clinton Hill
 

A Study in Scarlet: Benjamin Moore's Caliente Redefines Relaxation

In the heart of Clinton Hill, a spirited sanctuary emerges—a sophisticated adult playroom brought to life with the warm embrace of Benjamin Moore's Caliente. This particular shade of red is not just paint on the walls; it's a bold choice, a backdrop for creativity and leisure, that sets the stage for a room unlike any other.

Selecting the Perfect Shade

Choosing the right color is critical, especially when the goal is to create a room that's both energizing and elegant. Caliente, a robust and rich red, offers just the right balance. It's a hue that can invigorate the spirit and provide a welcoming warmth that invites relaxation and introspection. In the context of an adult playroom designed for unwinding and entertainment, it's the ideal selection.

Technique and Application: More Than Just a Brush Stroke

The transformative power of color comes not just from the hue itself but also from the method of its application. Our team at Paintworks & Decorating approached the walls of this Clinton Hill playroom with precision and care. Our process began with thorough wall preparation to ensure a flawless canvas for the Benjamin Moore Caliente. Multiple coats were applied to achieve an even and striking finish that commands attention and holds it tenderly.

Balancing Act: Accents and Atmosphere

It’s not just about the walls; it’s about the entire ensemble. The playroom features contrasting white trim and ceiling that frame the Caliente red, ensuring the color pops without overwhelming the senses. The natural wood floor adds a touch of earthiness, grounding the room, while the carefully selected furnishings contribute to the room's overall vibrancy and comfort.

The Final Touch: A Room That Speaks

The end result is a space that speaks volumes about the homeowner's taste and the transformative expertise of our team. This Clinton Hill adult playroom is now a testament to what can be achieved with a daring vision and a commitment to quality. It's a space that welcomes, inspires, and entertains—a true adult haven.

Maintain Your common spaces with Fresh Handrail Paint

When it comes to home improvement projects, sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference. One such underrated yet impactful project is painting handrails. Whether it's your staircase, balcony, or porch, painting handrails can instantly transform the look and feel of your space. We recently painted the walls, ceiling and handrails in this building stairwell. They wanted to refresh the common area.

Why Paint Your Handrails?

Handrails are not just functional elements but also significant aesthetic components of your home's architecture. Over time, handrails can become worn out, chipped, or discolored due to exposure to the elements. Painting your handrails not only enhances their appearance but also provides essential protection against rust, corrosion, and weathering.

Ceiling Build Out For New Electrical 10065

The heart of a home is often its kitchen, a place not only for cooking but for gathering, sharing, and creating memories. When a client approached us with the challenge of rejuvenating their Upper East Side kitchen, we were excited to roll up our sleeves and get to work, knowing the potential that lay within those four walls.

The kitchen's original state was a tapestry of past decades, adorned with wallpaper that had seen better days and fixtures that whispered tales of the past. Our task was to bring this culinary space into the present with a seamless blend of functionality and style.

Building a drop ceiling requires framing with metal studs first. Since the ceiling is concrete, the building doesn’t allow new lights directly in the ceiling. It doesn’t want any cutting into the ceiling. As the framing took shape, so too did the vision of a kitchen reborn.

Before we started

The installation of drywall came next, a meticulous process where our expertise in creating smooth, seamless surfaces came into play. We then moved onto the removal of the old, peeling wallpaper—an exercise in patience and precision. The walls were treated to a careful plastering, sanding down any rough edges, and preparing them for their final act.

Framing and drywalling. Taping the new drywall. Plaster with 3 coats. Prime and paint.

Mid way

The result? A kitchen is not merely updated but reborn, ready to play its part as the center of the home. This Upper East Side renovation is a testament to what can be achieved when expertise meets aspiration.

Beadboard Wall Paneling Install in Bedstuy Brownstone

 There are many positive angles to creating a dedicated room for a nursery when a baby is on the way. It keeps all the baby supplies in one place, and provides a familiar place as the wee one grows and begins looking around and taking in the sights. Coming into the nursery can evoke, even in a baby and small child, a sense of comfort and safety. When this client learned the news of a baby arrival, renovating a dull bedroom to a sweet nursery became a priority.

 To classy up the room, we installed the beadboard version of wainscoting. Often interchanged words with no harm done, wainscoting refers to wall paneling in many styles, and beadboard is one of them. It is a charming vertical tongue-and-groove arrangement of boards that adds a lovely flair to any wall. The small indentation between boards is the “bead”, and the top and bottom are finished with horizontal molding, the cap rail at the top and baseboard at the bottom. Today, independent wood pieces may be manufactured in sheets, and not all beadboard is made of wood. Here the cap rail and the baseboard are in matching wood style and color.

 We expertly painted the beadboard, cap rail and baseboard with Raindance 1572 from Benjamin Moore. It’s a soothing medium gray with both blue and green depth. While the first words spoken by babies are usually mama, dada, baba and bye-bye, we think this little one might blurt out beadboard. It’s close to the standard words, two syllables, repetitive hard consonant. Taking this space from boring bedroom to nurturing nursery was a practical project with a refreshing result.
