A Sunday recap of paint, design, and inspiration from Fairfield County’s trusted painting company.
This Week’s Highlights
1. Before The Spectrophotometer: The Lost Art Of Hand-Mixing Paint Colors (Monday)
Remember when color matching meant more than a scan and a formula? This one takes you into the old-school craft of mixing paints by hand — the intuition, the pigment, and the subtle variances that gave each home a bit of its own personality. Stanwich Painting
2. Seasonal Interior Painting: Why September Is The Perfect Time To Refresh Your Home (Tuesday)
As daylight shifts and we spend more time indoors, color takes on new importance. September's that sweet spot—cooler light, fewer outdoor distractions, ahead of the holiday rush. Dive in for tips on choosing hues that feel warm now but wear well through the seasons. Stanwich Painting
3. The Color Archetypes: The Traditionalist, A Timeless Approach To Home Design (Friday)
This post profiles the “Traditionalist” archetype: those who favor enduring elegance over trendy flashes. Creams, navy, colonial greens, warm neutrals — colors with history and staying power. For homes in Greenwich, Westport, Darien, etc., where architecture already speaks of legacy, this feels especially resonant. Stanwich Painting
Why These Matter
Whether you lean toward modern styles, heritage homes, or just want your space to feel comforting and grounded, these pieces all touch on something everyone cares about:
Craft & Authenticity — the human touch behind color choices (like in hand-mixing).
Season & Light — how our surroundings and time of year shift what we see in our rooms.
Timeless vs Trendy — choosing colors that last, both in style and in feel.
