Cream to a deep red
Flat wall paint rolled in a deep red across a room that started cream. The dark-stained window casings were cut in around and left as they were, so the new colour stops on a crisp edge.

Rooms Nate has painted, before the first coat and after the last
Each plate below is one room or one building, shot from the same spot twice. Drag the gold painter’s tape across a plate to move from the before to the after. The work shown is residential: three rooms inside a home and one garden shed outside. Olympus also paints offices, warehouses and storefronts, but no commercial job is pictured on this page.

Grey to white under the tray ceiling
White wall paint over the old grey, brought right up to the oak arched French doors and the tray ceiling above the brick floor.
Sprayed white
Kitchen cabinets
Orange oak beadboard doors and boxes finished in a smooth sprayed white. The butcher-block island top and the black granite were kept as they were. Cabinet refinishing and spray finishes are one of the services Olympus lists, and the finish is meant to look factory level.
The one exterior job
A garden shed brought back from peeling white and algae
Peeling white paint and algae at the base were scraped and cleaned back before the blue-grey was applied as a protective exterior coating. This is a garden shed, not a house. A house exterior is a bigger job with the same method: wash, scrape, repair, then coat.
