Things that come out: Progress pics of Miller Drive paint job


After many samples...
And even more samples...
We finally got just the right combination of vibrant colors!  Here is a sneak peak at the Frida Kahlo inspired paint job for this Hollywood bungalow.  Thanks to the guys at Detail Painting for doing such a great job!

The wood gate used to be painted white and the magicians at C&H Finishing restored it to all its redwood glory. The new door handle is the "Bernina" by Valli & Valli.
The exterior is a combination of Dunn Edwards Beautiful Blue, Martian, and Midnight Brown (on the eaves). 



The kitchen is a combination of blackboard paint and Dunn Edwards Energy Orange.  The orange is fabulous, but DIY painter beware, because it took TEN coats to cover - even with a dark gray primer underneath!

The bedroom is Dunn Edwards Cornflower on the walls and Martian on the doors and trim.  Stepping into this bedroom feels like stepping into a vacation.

The bougainvillea plant at the front of the house was the inspiration for the office.  This is Behr Tutti Frutti with Dunn Edwards Martian on the doors and (eventually) trim.  The chocolate brown wood floors and cabinetry not seen in this pic help to bring this room back down to earth.
