Bath Remodeling— Bath Painting

Color your bath walls to either expand the space or add a dramatic touch.  There being very little uncovered wall space, what with shower walls, mirrors on walls, and cabinets, color on the remaining walls will seldom overpower the space. However, since a lighter color can expand a small space it is the usual choice.  Then bath accessories such as rugs and window treatments can be used to give it a bit of color.  Because they can have such impact in a small area these and other bath accessories can often define your bathroom space.  So choose all bath accessories with care.  And remember to take into consideration bath accessories such as towel bars, paper holders and cabinet knobs when laying out your color scheme. The latter items are the jewelry of your bathroom!

Coloring your bathroom ceilings is almost universally accomplished by painting with a flat ceiling white as it tends to brighten and enlarge the space. It also is a benefit in that it causes the eye to focus on the bath below.

The Woodmark Way on BATH PAINTING

All wood surfaces are restored to near perfect condition before painting with a high quality oil based primer and two oil based finish coats.  Before painting the finish surfaces of all doors and trim are restored to a condition equal to or better than when the home was originally built.

All wall surfaces too are restored to near perfect condition before painting with latex primer and two or more latex finish coats in the case of drywall surfaces.  All wall surfaces are scraped to smooth out uneven texture or to remove dried lumps of paint from a previous painting.  Drywall mud is applied as necessary to provide a fresh smooth surface for painting.  Where appropriate and economic, the shadow-creating heavy ceiling texture is removed.  This texture usually visually lowers the ceiling.

We apply Paso as bonding agent for existing paint a SHORT TIME before painting as it should properly be done in order to provide for the proper adhesion of the paint primer.
