Living Room:
The ceiling had a beautiful plaster cove molding that we decided to accentuate by dropping the ceiling down onto the walls. Pulling the line from the window to set the height, this line was created in paint only using our special technique to have it as clean as possible. There are no traditional tape marks that some people get when creating stripes

.
The walls in this room had a paint adhesion problem. The paint was chipped off the wall until we reached the areas that it was solid. The room was primed with oil-based primer, ceiling included and the holes where the paint was removed was filled with drywall filler, sealed and finally painted.
Hinges.
A pet peeve. Although these are not beautiful hinges, I personally dislike a door that resists closing. The key is to not paint the hinges. The key is to tape and seal the hinges prior to painting. This hinge opens and closes the same as always.Colors: Dominion Green-custom mix
