The elegance of crown molding.

Custom Crown Molding Install in Bedstuy 

 Almost anything with “crown” in its name connotes sophistication, refinement, even royalty. And crown molding is no exception. When you want to dress up a room on a budget, crown molding is one fine way to accomplish it. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans all embraced crown molding in architecture, and it was a symbol of wealth and status. Interior crown molding, whether plain or elaborate, hides the seam between ceiling and wall while adding an elegant component to the overall décor.

We were excited to add character to this Bedstuy brownstone with both crown molding and window trim molding. Prep is always our first order of business, covering floors and furnishings as necessary. Once measured, well, twice measured, we cut and install, then fill all nail holes and caulk any gaps. Here we painted the walls in Wickham white while the trim got a semi-gloss coat for a light sheen. The room is still the same dimensions, and the interior style has been subtly enhanced with the vintage chic touch of crown molding and window trim.

 

 

Boring without crown molding.

Bed-Stuy Brooklyn Painter

The Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood in Brooklyn, affectionately dubbed Bed-Stuy, is home to more than 8,000 pre-1900 buildings and the largest cluster of Victorian architecture in the country. We were called in on the finish end of a total renovation, gutting the interior to the studs, of one of the stunning brownstone residences. The Paintworks crew prepped with securing drop cloths over the hardwood floors and doing some caulking and light sanding. The ultra lustrous finish on the jet black doors was achieved in a series of sanding, priming, spray painting, sanding and spray painting again. With our spray paint equipment, rollers, brushes and the best professional painters in the city, we restored the home to a crisp, clean space where any furnishings, art and decor will create a striking interior.
