Sutton Place Painting and Renovations

Mirrors can enlarge spaces and make rooms feel brighter. If large enough, they can overwhelm any space and the people in it, feeling like life is taking place in a carnival hall of mirrors. The largest hall of mirrors in the world was completed in 1684 in the Palace at Versailles outside Paris. It runs 240 feet long with unparalleled grandeur in art, windows and mirrors adorning the walls and ceiling.

Well, this Manhattan client was not at all interested in the massive mirrored walls in their new home in Sutton Place. We thought the place felt more like an automobile showroom ourselves and tired quickly of seeing our own reflections. Removing glass this gigantic out of the home and building took lots of careful maneuvering before setting about removing all the adhesive. Once that was cleaned, patched and primed, we painted it an elegant neutral with Silverpointe, a soothing soft gray from Sherwin-Williams. Now that’s a homey touch which promptly warmed the room.
