The Tuscan Villa Completed

A TUSCAN VILLA, THE RETURN

THE COMPLETED PROJECT

A couple of weeks ago I posted a project about painting the inside of a home to make it look like a Tuscan Villa.  The project was divided into 2 phases. This second post will talk about the bedrooms, bathrooms and the completed first phase.

There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.  Each was given a different color.  The closets in each room were also painted to match the room and the ceilings were given a fresh coat of paint.

The guest bath needed to have the wallpaper removed and then have repairs done and texture applied to the walls before painting.

The master bath area naturally flows from the master suite and all of the doors and built in drawers were also painted as well as the exterior door that leads to a second floor balcony.

The colors are

Master Bedroom and bath—Gray

Guest Bedroom #1 –a very jazzy green

Guest Bedroom #2—Cream

Guest Bath—Peach

Each of these worked very well with the Orange that was painted in the main part of the house.  And the Tuscan theme was continued.  Each color was chosen to work with the décor of each area and in the case of the guest bath, the cabinets were already a peach color and the tile on the floor coordinated with the new color.

The Master suite is quite striking and the arch doorways and hand toweled texture on the walls certainly give it the Tuscan feel.

The portion of the home that was done first is now decorated and completed. Now that the rest of the house is painted it too will be decorated and the project brought to a completion.

Shelves were removed, doors taken down and mirrors were discarded.  And the stripping of the wallpaper in the guest bath turned into quite a job.  There was 2 layers of wallpaper and damage had been done to the walls and covered over with the wallpaper.  So, extensive repairs were needed to get the walls prepared for texture and paint.

We worked 12 days on this project and though it was hard work and a real challenge to keep it moving forward is was a real joy to be a part of the transformation of this house.  The owner was likewise wonderful to work for.  She was most gracious and was willing to vacate a portion of the house while we worked.  Most people have difficulty with tear-up in their homes.  And when someone is in your home for 3 weeks your routine and evening time is somewhat disturbed. 

Andrea, the home owner, commented on our first post of this project.  I mention this as a way to introduce her as the homeowner that I am talking about. 

Thank you for allowing us to work on your home.  Enjoy it to the full

As always “Happy Painting”
