The Johnson Residence
Description:
For this project, All Season Painting was hired to rejuvenate the entire interior of the Johnson family’s residence, a spacious 5-bedroom home that hadn’t been updated in over 15 years. The client sought to modernize their home with a fresh, neutral palette, while incorporating unique accent features to reflect their personal style. The goal was to create a bright, welcoming environment with a focus on high-quality finishes and durability.


REquirements
- Neutral color scheme throughout the house with soft, muted tones to complement the home’s existing wood and stone accents.
- Accent walls in the living room, master bedroom, and dining area to add visual interest.
- Repainting of ceilings, trim, doors, and baseboards with a clean, bright finish.
- Low-VOC paints to ensure a healthier environment for their family and pets.
- A focus on durability in high-traffic areas such as hallways, the kitchen, and the family room, where wear and tear had taken its toll over the years.
Features:
- Color Consultation:
- We provided a detailed color consultation to help the Johnson family choose a palette that complemented their home’s open-concept design and natural light.
- After reviewing several color options, the clients selected a soft gray for the majority of the walls, paired with white trim to create a crisp, clean look.
- Accent colors included a deep charcoal for the living room, a cool blue for the master bedroom, and a warm taupe for the dining area.
- Surface Preparation:
- Before beginning the painting, our team meticulously prepared the surfaces. This involved:
- Repairing small cracks and imperfections in the drywall.
- Sanding down old, uneven layers of paint to ensure a smooth surface.
- Caulking gaps between the baseboards, trim, and window frames for a seamless finish.
- Priming all surfaces with high-quality primers to improve paint adhesion and enhance the longevity of the paint.
- Before beginning the painting, our team meticulously prepared the surfaces. This involved:
- Full Interior Repainting:
- Living Room: The focal point of the home, the living room, featured a large, open layout. We created an elegant contrast by applying a bold charcoal accent wall behind the fireplace, while the remaining walls were painted a light gray.
- Bedrooms: Each bedroom was customized to the family’s preferences. The master bedroom was painted in a relaxing cool blue, providing a serene retreat for the couple. For the children’s rooms, we used light pastels that created a playful yet refined look.
- Kitchen and Dining Area: In these spaces, we opted for a warm, neutral palette that harmonized with the kitchen’s wood cabinetry and stone countertops. The dining room received a taupe accent wall for added sophistication.
- Hallways and Stairwells: We applied a durable, scrubbable paint in a light neutral tone to the high-traffic areas, ensuring the walls would withstand daily wear without losing their appeal.
- Ceilings, Trim, and Doors:
- All ceilings were painted a clean, fresh white to brighten up each room.
- We gave the baseboards, door frames, and window trims a bright white, semi-gloss finish that complemented the modern look of the walls while adding a touch of elegance.
- The interior doors were refreshed with the same semi-gloss white, creating a cohesive and polished appearance throughout the home.
- Accent Wall Design:
- In collaboration with the client, we designed three custom accent walls that enhanced the character of the home. Each accent wall was strategically placed to create a focal point in the room, drawing attention to unique architectural elements such as the fireplace and large windows.
- The charcoal wall in the living room was particularly impactful, offering a bold contrast that grounded the space while maintaining a sophisticated feel.
- Low-VOC Paint:
- In response to the Johnson family’s concerns about air quality, especially with young children and pets in the house, we used low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints. These eco-friendly paints ensured minimal odor during and after the project, while still delivering the vibrant colors and durability the family desired.
- Furniture and Floor Protection:
- Throughout the project, our team took extensive care to protect the home’s furniture and floors. We used high-quality protective sheeting and drop cloths to cover all surfaces, ensuring no paint drips or dust affected their belongings.
- At the end of each workday, we cleaned and organized the space, allowing the family to continue living comfortably during the painting process.
Challenges Overcome:
- Working Around the Family’s Schedule: With the family living in the home during the repainting, we carefully planned our work to minimize disruption. By working room by room and maintaining a clean, organized work area, we ensured the family’s daily routine was not affected.
- Matching Existing Décor: The Johnsons had several pieces of custom wood furniture and stone elements that needed to be considered when selecting paint colors. We took extra care during the consultation phase to find hues that complemented these natural elements without clashing.
Results:
- The Johnson family was thrilled with the outcome. Their home was completely transformed into a bright, modern space, with carefully selected colors that enhanced the home’s architectural features.
- The bold accent walls provided character and style, while the neutral tones throughout the house brought a sense of cohesion and serenity.
- The high-quality finishes ensured that the paint would withstand the rigors of daily life, particularly in the high-traffic areas.
- With the use of eco-friendly, low-VOC paints, the family was able to enjoy their newly painted home without concerns about harmful chemicals or strong odors.
