Hardwood Floor Painting
This video captures the beginning portion of the the hardwood floor painting. The process consisted of a mustard yellow base coat, followed by mapping out the hardwood floor divots with a solid dark brown - creating an illusion of space between floorboards. Lastly, I coated the whole floor with a watered down lighter brown while leveraging a patterned paint stencil over the semi-dry paint to create the illusion of wood grain.
Old House Balusters
I sourced four matching balusters from the Westchester Playhouse, painting them a base coat of white and layering brown over top to create the look of an old 1915 baluster railing.
Kitchen cabinets
With fresh wood from Home Depot, I needed to create the illusion of original cabinetry from a 1915s Dutch County house. So, after the build, I worked on staining the cabinets a Colonial Maple tint.
Final Kitchen Details
Once the kitchen cabinets and Frigedaire refrigerator were installed, I worked on the final details old cottage set decorations including curtains.
