We are in the final countdown before the holidays and the crew is moving along with the enamel portion of this project. They are getting to all sprayed surfaces and using bondo to fill in the wood grains. The spotlight is used to really see the differentiation of sanded/smooth areas vs the wood grains. Once the bondo and sanding are complete, they’ll spray the areas again with the 2nd coat of enamel.

Sunday, December 15th: Good afternoon!
Here’s a recap of the crews’ progress over the weekend:
On Saturday they did Bondo work/sanding on the Master, upper hallway and stairs and sprayed the 1st coat of enamel on these areas in the afternoon. They’ll return Monday to do another round of Bondo/sand and then spay the 2nd coat later in the day.
Monday they’ll also be moving to the main level and spray 1st coat of enamel. Then on Tuesday they’ll Bondo/sand this area and spray the 2nd coat enamel later in the day.
Early next week they’ll begin wall painting as they’re able after the 2nd enamel coat is dry as well.

Wednesday, December 11th: Good morning!
We’ll be sharing the project progress of this Plymouth home we are refreshing with enameled millwork and wall painting. The crew will be kicking off tomorrow with prep work. This means lots of paper, plastic, and tape to ensure the paint stays off of floors, carpets, and any doors/frames we are not completing. They will prep and cover tomorrow and Friday. On Friday afternoon, they’ll begin to spray primer onto the included millwork throughout. Once sprayed there is dry time before then can return to start sanding and smoothing the millwork to achieve a smooth finish without seeing the wood graining.
The entire home is going to look so much lighter and brighter with a continuous color palette through out. The updated white trim/ frames will also elevate and brighten up the home!
We are looking forward to sharing the project progress here on the blog!
