We’ve got one more work day until we can rest and relax with family and friends for the Thanksgiving holiday!

Monday, November 25th: Good morning and happy Monday!
It’s crazy how much can be accomplished in a weekend! The crew has prepped and sprayed the spindles for the staircase, wrapped the kitchen and laundry cabinets, and are taking down the paper and plastic in the kitchen. They’ll be taping off to paint select walls – laundry room and then select areas for touch ups. The crew will also reassemble the kitchen – rehang doors and put the drawers back in as well.

Friday, November 22nd: Hello and TGIF!
The crew is keeping pace with spraying enamel in the kitchen, laundry room, and on the staircase. They have another coat of enamel on the Dark Harbor laundry room cabinets and also the cabinet doors/drawers. They’ll then begin reassembling the kitchen doors and cabinets and then also completing the wall painting.
Have a great weekend and we suspect the space will look differently on Monday!

Monday, November 18th: Good morning!
We hope you all had a great weekend! The Vikings took a crucial win over the LA Rams in the final seconds of the game; however our Golden Gophers couldn’t stop the Hawkeyes and are now 9-1.
The crew has moved to the kitchen, laundry room, and entry stairs for enamel. They’ve applied the primer and will work today to fill in the showing wood graining and then sand and smooth it before they’ll apply the top color – Black Magic for the kitchen, Dark Harbor for the laundry room, and Black Magic on the stairway posts.
It’s happening – we’re starting on the kitchen.
The primer has been applied in the kitchen.
Lots of paper, tape, and plastic to section off neighboring rooms.

Big day for the Gophers as they take on their rivals the Hawkeyes at Kinnick Stadium this afternoon. The Gophers are 9-0 and the Hawkeyes 6-3. Gophers need this win to prove they are among top in the Big 10 West!
The crew has just about completed the trim painting on the upper level and has most areas on the main level prepped- taped off with paper and ready to roll!
They’ll soon begin their prep work in the kitchen as well. Thanks!
Have a great weekend and Go Gophers!!

Thanks for following along. We’ve started another residential painting project in Plymouth and would love to share the project progress here on the blog!
The crew will be brush and rolling the newly replaced baseboard and frames throughout the main and upper levels and enameling the kitchen cabinets as well as the laundry room cabinets.
This is going to be a fun one!! They say white is all the rage, but these homeowners are going with the sleek and chic, Black Magic by Sherwin Williams which will be accented with gold hardware… can we say kitchen envy!?
The kitchen ‘before.’
Can’t wait to see the transformation to Black Magic!
They’ll also be painting the laundry room cabinets this bold hue of blue – Dark Harbor by Benjamin Moore.
Stay tuned here for progress update and project photos! We’re looking forward to sharing the process and eventually the sharing the famed ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos!
The newly installed trim will be getting refreshed with White Dove.
We’ll be doing something fun with the handrail as well!
