We are seeing deep gray … and we are transported to the beach and the ocean with this beautiful and rich color – Ocean Floor by Benjamin Moore.  

The crew completed spraying the primer and worked on filling wood graining and sanding it smooth over the weekend. They also sprayed the 1st coat and 2nd coats of enamel with the gray color. Lots of changes over the weekend and we are just loving the color choice!

Once the gray is done, they’ll move onto the millwork, trim, doors, etc with the White Dove color.

Wednesday, December 9th: Greetings! 

The started spraying the 1st enamel coat yesterday afternoon and they are continuing today. Once the enamel is sprayed and dried, they will begin another round of wood filling. This is a finish requested by the client to fill in the wood graining so it is not visible through the primer and enamel coats of paint.

Day 2 and we are continuing to fill and sand millwork.

Monday, December 7th: Greetings! 

The primer is sprayed on baseboards, window and door frames, and cabinet boxes. Our next step is to use a wood filler, Bondo to fill in visible graining and then sand it down. This will yield a smooth and seamless finish without graining showing through. After they’ve completed the Bondo and sanding they’ll spray the 1st coat of enamel. 

They are also spraying primer on the 2nd side of doors. Take a look at the progress!

Tuesday, December 1st: Good afternoon! 

Happy December! We have a new month and a new project to share. 

We will be prepping and finishing the kitchen cabinets, den built in cabinets, select bathroom vanities, and the office built ins and desk area. The main level and select upper level baseboards, window frames, door frames, and doors will also be refreshed from existing wood to an enameled white finish. 

The changes are going to be immense and we can’t wait to take you on the journey. The journey begins with two full days of prep work – this will include lots of covering, taping off, and removing doors and drawers from the cabinetry. 

After prep is complete, they will spray a prime coat on all millwork and included cabinetry. From there, sanding and filling of visible wood grains will occur before spraying the 1st and 2nd enamel coats. After the millwork and cabinetry is complete, the wall painting can be rolled out. 

We’ll share photos and progress updates throughout the project so stay tuned here on the blog! 

Thanks so much for following along!
