Bringing New Life to a Home: Interior House Painting Project in Colerain Township, OH

Queen City Painting and Decorating recently completed an extensive interior house painting project in Coleraine Township, OH. The homeowners wanted to update multiple areas, including the entryway, upstairs hallway, bathrooms, kitchen, and family room, with a modern and cohesive color scheme.

The selected color palette brought a sophisticated yet inviting transformation to the home. Worldly Gray, chosen for the main walls, introduced a warm and contemporary foundation, effortlessly complementing the overall aesthetic. The family room's accent wall and mantle in Tricorn Black created a striking focal point, adding depth and modern elegance. To complete the look, Pure White on the brick provided a crisp, clean contrast, brightening the space and enhancing its refined charm.

For this project, Sherwin Williams Duration paint was the perfect choice, offering exceptional durability and a resilient finish. Its high-quality formulation ensures that the freshly painted interior will retain its elegance and withstand daily wear, keeping the home looking beautiful for years to come.

1. Surface Preparation
   Proper surface preparation is essential for a smooth and long-lasting finish. We took the necessary steps to ensure the walls, ceilings, trim, and doors were ready for paint application.
   • Moved and covered furniture to protect from paint splatter.
   • Laid down drop cloths to safeguard flooring.
   • Cleaned walls, filled cracks, and repaired any surface imperfections.
   • Sanded areas as needed for a smooth, even application.
2. Priming
   To enhance adhesion and ensure even color application, we applied primer where necessary. This step was especially important for areas undergoing a dramatic color change.
   • Applied primer where necessary, especially for color transitions.
   • Ensured proper adhesion for a long-lasting finish.
   • Allowed adequate drying time before applying paint.

   • Carefully cut in along edges to achieve clean lines.
   • Applied multiple coats where needed for full coverage.

   • Applied Pure White (SW7005) to the family room brick for a crisp contrast.
   • Ensured precision in edges and blending for a seamless look.

   • Used Emerald Urethane Semi-Gloss in Tricorn Black (SW6258) for a sleek finish.
   • Carefully sanded and cleaned doors before painting.
   • Applied multiple coats for enhanced durability and a refined look.
7. Final Touch-Ups & Inspection
   To guarantee a perfect result, we conducted a meticulous inspection. Any minor imperfections were addressed to achieve a flawless final look.
   • Checked for any missed spots or uneven coverage.
   • Touched up minor imperfections for a flawless result.
   • Ensured all transitions and edges were crisp and precise.

The project took six days to complete and covered seven key areas of the home, including the ceilings, trim, and doors. The fresh coat of Worldly Gray on the majority of the walls provided a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the Tricorn Black accent wall in the family room added a bold, sophisticated touch. The crisp Pure White on the family room brick created a striking contrast, and the Extra White trim and ceiling brightened the overall look.
