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.

Preparing a home for sale means doing a lot of things like deep cleaning, de-cluttering, de-personalizing and washing the windows, but top on the list for almost everyone – seller and buyer alike - is fresh paint. Clean walls and trim, white ceilings and smooth vertical surfaces where prospective buyers can envision their décor can even be the tipping point for an offer. The condos at One John Street on DUMBO’s waterfront in Brooklyn Bridge Park offer amenities that rival a 5-star resort. There are 42 exquisite residences in 2, 3, and 4-bedroom floor plans, and the building has the coveted LEED Gold Certification for energy and environmental design.

 We are the preferred painters for these sophisticated condo homes, which have just about the best views of Manhattan in all of Brooklyn. We love working here, and especially enjoyed preparing this residence as “show ready” to go on the market. There was some patching to be done, which we expertly addressed before painting. The Extra White paint choice from Sherwin-Williams conveys goodness, youthfulness and tranquility. The walls are eggshell for easy to keep clean without glare, and the trim was painted the same color in semi-gloss. We doubt this lovely place with its marvelous views will stay on the market very long.

The GALERIE slogan is: “Home is Where the Art Is.” The galerielic.com website [for GALERIE Long Island City] promotes its new condo homes as “sleek and spacious, with open designs and intuitive flow. The interior design of the residences is timelessly modern, with clean lines and a neutral palette where the only remaining strokes of genius are to be applied by you.” That “you” refers to new residents, and one family took it seriously. Their stroke of genius began with calling us to paint their entire 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo. So, we did.

 It is a beautiful space with natural daylight, contemporary vibes and state-of-the-art materials. This master bedroom took on a coat of Benjamin Moore’s Balboa Mist, one of the sophisticated paints in the Off-White Color Collection. When the family is not hanging loose in its comfortable, freshly painted living spaces and bedrooms, they might be found relaxing in the sculpture garden, lounge or rooftop deck; working in the provided workspace; swimming in the pool; supervising kids in the playroom; or breaking a sweat and keeping in shape in the fitness center ~ all GALERIE on-site amenities. It’s an impressive place, moreso, we like to think, with our professional painting team plying their craft in these stellar condos.

The etymology of words and phrases can be quite an eye-opener. Years ago “elevation of meaning” applied to a word or phrase which once meant something different and lesser than it does in contemporary language. The word “guy”, for example, originally referred to a person with a strange appearance or dressed in rags, then it denoted men, and now it’s collectively any people. Likewise, the “pent” part of penthouse once was used for a shed or sloping roof from a main wall, like a lean-to on the side of a building. Around 1921, penthouse became associated with a dwelling place on the roof of a skyscraper, connoting luxury and style.

We are the NYC painters of luxury and style ~ and everything else ~ and when these penthouse owners left town, we carefully covered the floors in brown paper and draped the furniture for protection. The place had not been painted in years, evidenced by the fingerprints and smudges when natural daylight and sunshine streamed inside. So our team patched all the holes and cracks and let them dry and sanded everything smooth. We painted the walls in PPG Husky Grey, a soft, cool neutral with class and dignity. The freshly painted penthouse walls now sport nary a smudge and provide this urban nest with the interior lift it needed. Welcome home, folks!
