Naramata Water Front Custom Home

Posted on: by Owner | Painter

When Homestar Designs contacted us to take on a project over 350kms away in Naramata BC we jumped at the opportunity.  Naramata is known for its beautiful views of Lake Okanagan and extensive fields of grapes and wineries. As we usually only operate locally within the lower mainland, this was quite the distance to travel to complete the interior of this water front home including a wood ceiling and multiple interior wood beams.

This Naramata water front custom home was quite the job but we decided to move 4 of our crew up there for just under 2 weeks to get the interior completed. We worked non stop for 12 days to get the interior staining and painting complete but the end product was just what the homeowner had hoped for.

There is still more to go before the project is finished and hopefully we will get to head back to the Okanagan this spring or early summer to complete the exterior of this home and see it at its full potential.

We will be sure to share some completed project photos and details when they are available.  To see more projects we’ve worked on, follow us on Facebook or Instagram.

 

 

Wood Furniture Refinishing.

Posted on: by Owner | Painter

When one of our clients approached us about refinishing some one of a kind outdoor furniture we jumped at the opportunity. This solid wood set had been brought from over seas some time ago so we had to make sure we took the time and care to ensure it would come out perfect.

 We had done lots of wood furniture refinishing in the past but nothing like this.  As we were unsure of the exact wood type we had to do some testing with different methods to make sure the all over refurbishment was exactly what our clients were looking for.

Once we got all of the heavy pieces to our shop we were able to jump in.  The project started with us cleaning and stripping the original coating that was on the wood.  There was some mold under the original clear coat so we had to strip it and clean the wood before we could begin recolouring the pieces.  This took some time as we didn’t want to damage any of the unique shape and lines in the wood.  Once all the prep was done we were able to start bringing this furniture back to life and ready for use.

After many hours spent in the shop the set is now complete and we have to say that the finished product is exactly what we had hoped.  The new darker stain and clear sealer have made the pieces look that much better.  You can now see the variations in the natural wood and the character of the pieces seem so much stronger.  In all we would say that this wood furniture refinishing project was a great success.

Professional Cabinetry Painting

Posted on: by Owner | Painter

Have you ever wanted to update your kitchen or bathroom but it wasn’t in the budget to replace all the cabinetry?

 
At Domain Decorating we can help you find a more cost effective way to update your space with our professional cabinetry painting services. Recently we refinished a kitchen and butler’s pantry in a client’s home. The finished product was great and the homeowner saved thousands by painting his cabinets instead of having them replaced.

 
Here are some photos of what the space looked like before our team arrived.

When our team arrived on site all of the hardware and doors were removed and taken to our shop. At our shop we prepped each panel removing the existing paint. When the doors were ready we sprayed them leaving them with a perfect custom finish in a colour selected by the homeowner.

 
On site our crew masked off the entire kitchen covering every surface that did not require any paint. We also set up an onsite spray booth to ensure paint did not travel to any other room or surface in the house.

 
Here is what the home looked like before we sprayed the existing cabinet boxes and island.

Finally we prepped and sprayed the onsite cabinetry. When everything had dried we removed all the masking and plastic and here is the finished product. There is no trace of our crew having ever been on site other than the beautifully updated cabinetry colours.
