| Front Door Makeover: Reinvent Your Entryway |
Your front door is an introduction to your personality, a threshold to what lies beyond. Likewise, it is the ideal tool to express yourself and grab the attention of guests and visitors. Is it time to reinvent your front door to reflect those who live beyond the doormat?
Make a statement by painting your door a vivid color that complements the exterior of your home. Red is a classic color that works great on most homes. Pinks and yellows work well for those who live in beach towns. Teal is becoming increasingly more popular for homeowners who want to liven up their entryways.

| Stripes aren't just for Cat in the Hat |
To add some real zest, take a tip from your childhood favorite, Cat in the Hat! You remember his tall white and red striped hat, right? Maybe its time to think about adding a stripe to your walls! Now, don’t let Dr. Seuss’ character get you worried, it doesn’t have to be as dramatic as red and white stripes, you could go with something as subtle as two different paint finishes in the same color painted on as stripes. For example, in the dining room use your favorite taupe to paint the whole walls in an eggshell finish, then go back an add semigloss stripes in the same color. You will create a subtle, classy effect while still adding some ‘play’ to your paint.
You can keep it simple with just one, wide stripe going around the whole room in a color that is just slightly darker than the wall color, like we did in this bedroom.

| Did you know blue is a weight losing color? |
Celebrating a pair of treasured blues—denim and water—blue is a soothing palette that adds a sense of calmness and serenity to rooms.
Fun Fact: The color blue is the least common color in the foods we eat. |
| The number one kitchen color: |
Green is such a perfect neutral - it is surrounding us in nature everywhere and so it feels very comfortable when used in a home.
The muddier shades of green (brown or grey based) are also easier to blend with granite/marble imitation or real stone countertops, tile and the wood of cabinets, because those are natural elements and the choice of a more natural green works well.
When people have just taken possession of a new kitchen, either by moving or redecorating, one of the first things they want to do is "warm things up", and why not - the kitchen is the heartbeat of the house, the hub of activity, and a calming, natural green feels relaxing and centering like being in an old forest or looking at an expanse of natural fields.

| Springtime is a great time to paint: |
When checking your exterior paint, be sure to look for loose or flaking paint, additionally you should check for any mildew that may be on your house. Another very important area that is often overlooked is your home’s caulking. Check all of the caulking on your home and make certain that it is in good condition and has not begun to split or separate. Keep in mind that your exterior paint not only offers a beautiful finish to your home but also provides a layer of protection to guard your home against the elements.
If you decide that your paint is in good shape but just want to change or update the look of your house then this is a great time of the year to do it. A color change is a great way to not only protect your home’s exterior but also to modernize it and give it a completely different look and feel.Free Estimates.

| Painting Pop Corn (textured) Ceilings: |
|
If you do not own an airless sprayer or have not had any experience using one then you can roll the ceilings using a paint roller. Just keep in mind that it is a very messy job so you will need to make certain that all flooring and furniture are completely covered using drop cloths and clean plastic before you begin. Once all flooring and furnishings are covered, clean the ceiling by removing any dust or cobwebs using a fiber duster. Once you have cut in the ceiling paint to the wall using your paint brush next, using your paint roller, slowly apply the paint to the ceiling working only in one direction. Once you have made a pass with your roller, do not attempt to roll back over the same area because this may cause the popcorn texture to pull away and peel from the surface. If the ceiling will need an additional coat of paint, allow the first coat to completely dry before applying any additional coats. Painting a ceiling which has popcorn texture is a messy and time-consuming job that will require some patience and hard work but the clean, freshly painted ceiling is worth the effort. If this is a job that you would rather leave to a professional painter, Call Red. |
| Here's how to check to if it's time to waterproof your deck: |
|
Sprinkle a few drops of water onto the surface - if the water beads up, the wood still has water-resistant properties. If the water soaks in within about 20 seconds, then the wood is clearly asking for protection!...Call Red: |
| Light vs. Dark colors for painting a bathroom: |
Generally people choose lighter colors for a bathroom because they feel it makes the space appear larger.
The truth is, the more monochromatic a room is, the larger it appears. And the more variation in color from wall to floor, trim and tile color, the smaller the room will seem.
Using one continuous color throughout a room is what makes it appear larger.
Picking a lighter color works well when you are trying to create the illusion of a larger space only when trim and fixtures are also light colored.
So when choosing how light or dark to paint your walls, keep in mind that it's the contrast - not so much the actual color - that changes the feel of the space.
For a larger, open feel, match wall color to trim, tile and floor color. For the feel of a cozy, smaller space, choose a color much lighter or darker than your existing tile, woodwork and fixtures.

| Can you paint over wallpaper? |
Painting over wallpaper is something that people do to save time when they want to improve their house.
It can be done and most of the times comes out fine.
There are instances though that you have to remove the wallpaper in order to achieve a smooth finish.( If the wallpaper has a heavy texture then you’re most likely better off to remove it.)
If the wallpaper is smooth (no texture) you can patch without worrying that the patched area will come out different than the rest of the wall.
How to paint over wallpaper?
•Cut and remove the areas where the wallpaper is separated from the wall
•Patch those areas with compound and sand
•Caulk around the edges
•Prime
•Paint
