How we did it
-
Prime the new drywall
The new drywall walls were primed ahead of the wall tile and FRP going in.
-
Paint the ceilings and light cove
The new gypsum board ceilings were painted white, and the ceiling at the light cove was painted in its own specified colour.
-
Paint the new door and frame
The new door and its frame were painted. On the customer side, the bathroom door and frame and the electrical box covers got a satin enamel in the specified colour.
-
Make a lime wash mock-up
Before the real walls, we made a lime wash mock-up on a level 5 drywall board and a column for approval.
-
Prepare the level 5 walls
The walls to get lime wash were sanded to a smooth level 5 finish, damage was patched and sanded, and the patches were spot primed.
-
Prime and basecoat the lime wash walls
The walls were primed and basecoated before the lime wash went on.
-
Brush on the lime wash
Two brushed coats of lime wash gave the walls their soft plaster look. It started on the north and south walls and was extended to the other walls and the column at the sales counter.
