If you’re like most of us, the question, “When should I paint my home?” rarely comes up. This is not a thought most of us dwell on. Unlike the interior of your home, you’re probably not spending hours looking at the exterior of your house. An outdated paint color on

We recently painted the cabinets for designer Chelsea Evans’ own warm modern kitchen update, and were thrilled to see the final result. We sat down with Chelsea to ask about her design process, her paint color choices, and why that old 1950’s wallpaper didn’t scare her off! Our interview
If you’re updating your home, knowing how to make your kitchen look more custom is not a matter of new flooring or counters, it starts with your cabinets. We’re going to show you five ways to make your kitchen look more custom, but they all focus on the cabinets in
Try googling “upcoming color trends in interior design” and you’ll get see a plethora of posts listing the “10 (or 15, or 21) most popular paint colors to use right now!”, or “The 2022 color of the month/year”, etc. This post is NOT about that. Since I’m one of the
A recent blog post, from a well-respected source that shall remain nameless, gave some tips and tricks on how to pick paint color. You’d think this is a simple topic, but I actually cringed when I read the advice listed. The talented designers in the article gave some suggestions that were, in
Black is a fabulous color for adding contrast, “edge”, or glamour, and as home and cabinet painters, we’ve painted more than our share of black out there, so we wanted to share our top four picks for the best black paint colors. There is a plethora of options, but choosing
Where to buy wallpaper has become a real puzzle for many of us Without a local showroom, where do you go? How do you know what’s available, what you will like, what a wallpaper might feel like or look like in your space? What options do you have? Knowing where

We know there’s a lot of “noise” out there. With the monetization of blogs and other sites like Instagram or Pinterest, not to mention lead-generating sites like Angie’s List, it seems like everyone out there has written posts or articles about home improvement and home design, just to get you to click on their site.
Unfortunately, most of the stuff out there is . . . not very useful.
We’ve taken great care to write posts that we feel are more in-depth and practical than what you’ll find in the average home painting blog. We especially lean towards topics relating to interior design. Since most home painters don’t have training in interior design or color consulting, and probably don’t work with interior designers as closely as we do, we feel we’re uniquely suited to address some of these topics. After all, there’s plenty of inspiration online, but knowing how to incorporate good design choices into your own home painting project is another matter entirely! We hope you’ll find some good information here.
In addition to design advice, we also show you behind-the-scenes posts like this one on the whole cabinet painting process, and on what really matters when you’re looking for a great painting company. (Hint: It’s not just their online reviews!) And if you’re working with an interior designer, please don’t miss this article on what NOT to do!
We’ve also gleaned some of our favorite interior design-related articles from around the web, here. We don’t share it on our website unless we think it’s truly worth reading!
And if you want some lovely visual inspiration, check out our Instagram, Pinterest, and Houzz pages. (No, we haven’t monetized anything!) Browse the internet and dream, then come here for help in implementing your vision!
