Interior Re-Paint in 5 Days

This is the first of four projects that we are doing back to back.  This couple moved here from L.A. and purchased a house in Prairie Grove, Arkansas.  Needless to say," Culture Shock".
This house was built in the 1980's and needed a complete interior paint job.  Enter,"Ken Rader Interiors L.L.C." Cathie started the project with a color/decorator consultation.  Which is worth millions of dollars.  The colors are " Milk Chocolate, Macadamia , Hopsack and Bordou.
The Ceilings were then scraped and re-textured with an orange peel texture and then painted.  This is a very nice update item for anyone to consider if they are updating their home. Image
The above picture is my Dad spraying water on the ceiling to soften up the popcorn style texture.  He is doing this with an airless paint sprayer.  It makes this process so easy.  Of course all of the floors and tops of doorways had to be covered, So did the CabinetsImageThe above picture shows some of the cover-up.  This is a big time eater and we were on a time limit.  So hurry, hurry, hurry.
Once the ceilings were textured and painted we were able to move on to the Closets and walls.  We spray painted the closets with semi-gloss paint, walls, ceilings and shelves all the same.ImageThe above picture is one of the closets.  We then painted the walls in all of the rooms.  Master Bedroom, Master Bath, Hall Bath, 2 guest rooms, Huge living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Laundry Room.ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageOnce the painting was done we moved on to installing, ceiling fans, lights and some plumbing fixtures. You have to be a genius to put together the fans.  5 fans, all different styles.  But 'I did It'.
As I mentioned, we were on a time limit to get the house done.  They closed 5 Days earlier and we were able to complete the project in 5 days.  Our crew worked very hard and long hours to complete the work.  Ron and Toni are very happy.  He spent this morning sitting in the living room and gazing at all of the finished product.  He is in shock.  Toni is emptying boxes and is still in disbelief that the house is completed.  I must say," I can't believe it either".
We will post all of the photos on Facebook ( www.facebook.com/ken.rader.interiors ) . Take a look, it tells about half of the story, but a picture is worth a 1000 words so it is a pretty good story.
As always 'Happy Painting'
