After - bright and beautiful painted in White Dove

Before - dull and dark

15 Broad Street Interior Painting Company

Wall Street was named in 1711 for a long-gone wall built by Dutch settlers to keep out the pirates and the Brits. Though it is only six blocks long, the surrounding streets house some of the largest, most reputable financial entities in the world. Broad Street runs between Wall St. and Exchange Place. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) was constituted in 1817. Fast forward 204 years, and the new owners of a beautiful condo across the street from NYSE wanted to brighten their interior walls. We love the vitality and pizzazz found in this part of Manhattan and eagerly loaded up our floor protection materials, paint, tape, brushes, scrapers, rollers, ladders and all we would need for the project.

You might read that “kids say the darndest things,” but hey, adults “do the darndest things.” In this delightful condo, someone had wallpapered the ceilings. We set about removing that, which is easier said than done, working kind of upside down, peeling, scraping, sanding and smoothing prior to priming and painting. The walls have been transformed from dark and dull to bright and beautiful with the popular White Dove paint selection. And the new owners are happy in their pleasant, newly painted home.

Power House Condo Painter

It takes a couple super creative minds to transform a power station into fabulous condo living spaces. World-renowned architect Karl Fisher and interior designer Andres Escobar did exactly that in the Hunters Point waterfront neighborhood of Long Island City. The Pennsylvania Railroad Power Station was constructed in 1909 and closed in 1920. It opened as a residential building for luxury lifestyles in the fall of 2007.

We get excited to work inside these historical edifices, like our painting becomes part of history when we freshen the spaces. Here we prepared this lovely unit for new tenants, and we are positive they will love the wood-grain look flooring for its natural vibe, and the smooth, freshly painted walls and white trim. The bedrooms were painted with Benjamin Moore’s First Snowfall, a warm neutral with faint blue-gray undertones. Factor in a white tray ceiling and copious windows for natural daylight, and there’s a unique brand of excitement for living large in a former power station.

The newly painted, elegant bathroom

The once-eyesore wallpapered bathroom

You never know what floats someone’s boat, and this wild, geometric, wallpaper scheme was no longer welcome in this hall or bathroom. Work in the building had been in a long pause for covid, and our client was past ready for a fresh start on all fronts. We were only too happy ourselves to rid the spaces of wallpaper that makes your eyes waver. Then there’s always cleaning off glue and paper residue and smoothing the walls for something chic and uptown with Farrow & Ball fine paint products.

 The hall is now Pavilion Gray, a classic middle shade reminiscent of an elegant 18th century Swedish neutral color. The bathroom walls and ceiling deliver a real wow factor for the deep, dark, midnight blue of Hague Blue. According to Farrow-ball.com, it is named for colored woodwork popular with the Dutch people. Both paint colors evoke strength and power with undertones of stability and balance, so they are excellent choices for the luxury lifestyle at 70 Washington Street in DUMBO.
