An Exterior Painting Transformation: From Dated Salmon Stucco to a Modern Dream

Oh yes you can paint stucco! In fact, you can dramatically transform the exterior of your home with just paint! That is exactly what we did this Summer, and let’s be honest Fall too because our weather was not cooperative in Edmonton this year.

We forged a beautiful relationship with Kira from Northern Style Exposure. While her and her family did some big renovations to their interior space, she wasn’t sure what could be done to the exterior of their home. The trendy peach/salmon stucco of the 90s is no more to be desired. In fact, we repainted many of these homes this year, and all very dramatic transformations.

Kira was interested in working with a local Edmonton company, and so the hunt was on. She contacted us and we met to discuss her vision. We were excited and inspired by her ideas and could not wait until the weather gave us a break so we could begin!

We will let her show you the reveal. Visit her site here to see this exterior transformation. We are certain we will be doing more of these homes next year.

Three Gray Colours We Love

It’s true, gray is the new popular colour you will find in a lot of homes. Why? It’s a classic colour and it is also sensible. It’s an update from your traditional beige. It offers a more modern look that can fit into any style or lifestyle.

We also recommend gray as a colour to use for walls if you are painting to sell your residential home, moving in, or renovating.

However, we do know how difficult it can be to choose the right gray. Most people consider the colour to be cool and void of warmth or character. We think the opposite. Choosing the right gray for your space can bring a level of space and coziness at the same time.

We also know that finding the right gray can be tricky. Often times there may be undertones of blue, green, or even purple. There is nothing more disappointing then not loving your space.

As Edmonton painters for residential and commercial spaces, we have been creating beautiful gray spaces for quite some time now and have culled our list to our THREE TOP GRAYS that we know you will love

Gray Owl Benjamin Moore (OC-52)

Gray Owl is an all-out unadorned, approachable colour that pairs beautifully with stainless steel appliances in a modern kitchen; chrome or steel accents, AND any oak that you may be stuck with.

Stonington Gray (HC-170)

Described as a more traditional gray with a stormy mood or look to it. It can have the wet concrete look and depending how you accessorize your space, it can throw a little blue.

Coventry Gray (HC-169)

A beautiful medium gray with a cool undertone. This is definitely not brown/beige in tone and will feel light, fresh and clean.

Finally, once you have narrowed down your selection we always recommend that you visit your paint store and ask for a sample size of paint to test on your walls. When you are testing the colour in your home, be sure to paint different areas in your home where the lighting is different. The colour will show differently depending on the light source in your space and how much.

We are always happy to help you select the right colour for your space. When booking your Free Onsite Estimate be sure to ask us if you need assistance. Book here.

Welcome to our new digs!

It’s been a renovation-in-progress. We have redesigned our website, improved our quoting and invoicing system, and we have been growing so we can provide Edmonton and surrounding area with the best service ever.

We’ve done our research. We realized that it’s a very difficult and sometimes scary proposition to invite strangers into your home and business. This means that there is some disruption to your home and business life.

We make sure that we leave a very light footprint. That means when we work in your home or business we take care to keep things safe and clean. When we are ﬁnished painting your space, we return it to you better than before.

As a business, shutting down and compromising your proﬁt is not ideal. As a team we are ﬂexible. We can work after hours and weekends to make sure there is no time wasted.

What’s even more great, is that we provide all these little extras and a ﬁnish that will exceed your expectations.

Our hope is that our website provides you with the information you need as a homeowner, a business owner, and a home builder or contractor. The people you see on this website are indeed the people that answer the phone, respond to your email, visit your home for a quote, and show up to turn your space into something beautiful.

Visit us here often. Learn some tricks of the trade, links to resources, and some style ideas.

See you later,

Sam & Pam
