ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL TOUR – FRANKLIN

RED

Image: Graham & Brown

Red walls are nothing to be afraid of. Not when 2026 offers beautiful shades like Divine Damson (pictured), Graham & Brown’s 2026 color of the year, which they describe as “luxurious yet comforting.” If that’s a bit too dramatic for you, check out Benjamin Moore’s Dinner Party, “a deep, understated red that can be used in everyday spaces…” For something that leans a little browner, Glidden’s color of the year, Warm Mahogany, is “a rich, grounded red that’s bold enough to draw immediate attention and reserved enough to make a timeless statement.” None are ‘flag red’ but any of the three would be stunning in the right location.

WHITE

Image: Protek Painting Services

Crisp and clean, white was a classic long before the modern farmhouse trend swept the country. It can stand alone, but also plays well with others, whether you pair it with its opposite like the beautiful white and black home above (a recent ProTek project) or use it with subtler shades.

While “white” may seem like an easy choice, be warned: when it comes to paint, “white” options are in the thousands. Here’s a thought: Pantone’s color of the year, “Cloud Dancer.” Pantone promises that their white “is a shade that can adapt, harmonize, and create contrast, bringing a feeling of airy lightness to all product applications and environments….” You can have color-matched in your preferred paint at places like Lowe’s or Home Depot.

BLUE

Image: Benjamin Moore

According to BobVila.com, “blue is well-known as America’s favorite color…”  No arguments here, especially when it comes in so many beautiful shades. (Yes, we’re also counting all the teals and grays that lean blue.) While blue may not be the first color that springs to mind for a kitchen, according to Benjamin Moore, “Blue kitchen cabinets offer a charming blend of sophistication and renewal, adding a fresh vibrancy to the space.”  Something to think about the next time your kitchen needs a refresh.

ALL OF THE ABOVE

Image: HomeDesignLover.com

Of course, your patriotic color scheme doesn’t have to be limited to paint. There are many ways to include USA’s theme colors in your home. You can make it a seasonal thing with items that come and go—pillows, throws, themed art objects, etc.—or a year-round choice. After all, red, white and blue look good together no matter what month it is. Need a little inspo? Check out these 20 Living Rooms with Blue, Red and White Accents.

Remember, when you’re ready to paint your home, contact us. We’ll make sure the finished project looks picture-perfect, no matter which color you choose.

PARTY LIKE IT’S 1595

Have you ever wanted to meet Queen Elizabeth? The first Queen Elizabeth, that is. This is your chance! Here in the glorious year of 1595, Her Majesty is visiting “her favorite village” and it promises to be quite the event. There will be intrigue as two rivals try to persuade the queen to name them as her heir. You’ll also enjoy traditional Renaissance favorites such as artisans, jesters, minstrels, pirates, jousting and other delights.

The Tennessee Renaissance Festival will be open Saturday-Monday Memorial Day weekend from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. See the event schedule, get directions and buy tickets.

Note: Digital payments weren’t really a thing in 1595 and even today connectivity is limited at the fair, so it’s best to bring cash in case you want to buy something at the fair. (And trust us, you will.)

Happy Memorial Day!

Here’s a thought: Before you pony up for a complete gut job, take a hot minute to consider if paint is all you need. Paint can be a transformational, budget-friendly update that is both faster and easier than a remodel (especially if we do the painting for you). Paint can make your place look…

UPDATED

Image: Benjamin Moore

Here’s one example: it’s easier to bring your kitchen into this century than you might think. Those dark wood cabinets that were all the rage in the nineties will look completely different painted in a beautiful color. That stark, all-white kitchen might just need a little bit of color to make it more inviting. Would you go with something subtle like Benjamin Moore’s Steep Cliff Gray (pictured above), or amp up the drama with a bold contrasting color?

BRIGHTER

Image: Behr

Now that we’ve survived the umpteen shades of grey era, isn’t it time to bring a little more color into our homes? It doesn’t have to hurt your eyes; a calm-but-interesting color combo like Behr’s Dainty Lace and Urban Nature (pictured) is lighter and brighter without being obnoxious about it.

P.S. Did you notice that the closet doors in the image do not match either the trim or walls, making the closet look like a custom built-in?

COZIER

Image: ProTek

Light and bright is not always the answer; dark can be elegant, inviting and cozy. A moody color can make a room feel like a hug. But before you go to the dark side, consider the amount of light in the room. In the one pictured above—a recent ProTek project—the dark walls are balanced by the big window, light floors and built-in cabinet. Even if you’re going for a cave or speakeasy vibe, you’ll want to make sure you can see where you’re going so you don’t trip over the furniture.

FRESHER

Image: ProTek

Sometimes your current color is already perfect, it’s just showing signs of age. Colors fade; nicks happen. A fresh coat of the existing color can make a surprising amount of difference. If your walls are still good, a new coat or color on your trim might be just what you need.

MORE ‘YOU’

Image: Sherwin Williams

Just because your walls are a “perfectly good color” doesn’t mean it’s perfect for you. If it doesn’t make your heart sing, paint over it. The paint police will not come to take you away. Pictured: Fresh Eucalyptus from Sherwin Williams.

When it comes to home decorating, paint is your friend and so are we. If your home needs a fresh coat or color, for whatever reason, contact us for a consultation. We’ll harness the power of paint and put it to work for you.

If you’re not ready for a remodel but you’re really hankering to break something, try a rage room where you can smash things to your heart’s content (and someone else handles the cleanup).

BEFORE YOU HEAD TO THE PAINT STORE

Image: Cottonbro Studio, Pexels

Take a long hard look at the room you want to paint. Is it on the north or south side of your home? North-facing rooms tend to get cooler color of light, so colors with a warm undertone generally look better. The opposite applies to south-facing rooms. Speaking of light, does your room get a lot of the natural kind or do you rely on artificial lighting? That will also affect the way a color looks.

Now you’re ready to dive into the world of color. Once you’ve found some you like, it’s time to …   

GO HOME AND GO BIG

Image: Angi.com

Don’t even think about making a final decision on a wall color from a tiny square on a paint color card. That’s a good place to start, but once you’ve narrowed it down to a few favorites, you’ll need something bigger. Many paint companies have apps that allow you to upload a photo of your room and virtually paint it. That’s a great way to narrow the field but remember that the color on the screen may not be an exact match to the color in real life.

You can buy stick-on color samples (like giant Post-it notes) that are about a foot square. You can move them around without leaving marks on your wall, but the texture won’t be the same as your wall, and texture matters. The best option? Buy a sample or quart of your top contenders and paint a big ol’ area of each of your walls—like two-to-four feet tall and wide big. Then, once you’ve got some color on your wall …

TAKE YOUR TIME

Image: Natalie Vaitkevich, Pexels

First, give your sample area(s) time to dry. You might need two coats depending on the current color. Then live with it for at least a couple of days. Why? Your mood can affect the way you see the color. Other members of the household may have opinions that could sway yours. You could change your mind. Remember, paint in haste, repent in leisure. While you’re pondering your choice …

LIGHT IT UP

Image: Pixabay

Study your color options at different times of day and in different lights. Daylight vs. artificial. Morning vs afternoon. It can make a huge difference. The color that makes your heart sing in the morning may become a “what was I thinking?” shade by evening. Finally …

BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR

Image: Blogspot

Are there other colors in adjacent rooms that can be seen from this one? Will your new color play well with the one “next door” or will it clash? If contrast is what you want, that’s perfectly fine. Just make sure you know how much contrast you’re getting to avoid a shocking surprise.

Don’t worry, you’ve got this. It’s just paint, after all. When you’ve made a decision and you’re ready to take the plunge, contact us to take your chosen color from dream to done.

WHAT IS A SCULLERY, ANYWAY?

Image: The Funky Kitchen

Once upon a time, aristocrats (think Bridgerton or Downton Abbey) had a) big houses and b) lots of staff. Their kitchens were used for actual cooking, while prep work and cleanup happened in another room called the ‘scullery.’ Nowadays, a scullery is an extra space, often right off the kitchen, that serves much the same purpose. It’s what your granny might have called a “back kitchen.” They can be anywhere from enormous to pint-sized, but a proper scullery always includes these three things…

ESSENTIAL ELEMENT #1: STORAGE

Image: Verve Magazine

You might think of a scullery as a pantry but not for food. Instead, it’s a place to store things like small kitchen appliances, extra plates/serving dishes, specialty pans/utensils (like that paella pan you just had to have but only used once), and the like. Bonus: The extra storage allows any open shelves in the “public” kitchen to concentrate on looking pretty while the actual work goes on backstage.

ESSENTIAL ELEMENT #2: COUNTERTOPS

Image: Pinterest

“That’s too much counter space” said no one ever. You can use it to hide that showstopper dessert until you’re ready to wow your guests or as a place to keep/use kitchen workhorses like stand mixers. Bottom line, you need a place to set things down. Otherwise, you’ll just have to turn around and take them back to the kitchen, which defeats the purpose of having a scullery in the first place.

ESSENTIAL ELEMENT #3: SINK

Image: Unique Design

That sexy farmhouse sink in the main kitchen doesn’t look nearly as Insta-worthy when it’s piled with dirty pots and pans. The scullery sink—or the optional-but-useful scullery dishwasher—is the perfect place to hide the mess, so it doesn’t distract from your dinner party. Or your evening of binge-watching. Or whatever it is that you’d rather do than the dishes.

REMEMBER: PRACTICAL CAN BE PRETTY

Image: Apartment Therapy

A scullery is useful, yes, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful—luxurious, even. Since modern-day sculleries don’t, alas, come with a scullery maid, you should make it a space you enjoy being in. This could be the perfect place for that bold color you love but didn’t want in a bigger space. Since it’s smaller than the main kitchen, it’s more cost-effective to add a higher-end backsplash or countertop here. Even a little bit of bling can make cleanup feel less like drudgery and more like TLC for your things.

So, what do you think? Is a scullery in your future?

The post KITCHEN TREND: THE RETURN OF THE SCULLERY appeared first on ProTek Professional Painting Services.

Whether it’s a dedicated space the size of a Manhattan apartment or tucked in the corner of another room, here are some thoughts on how to make your mudroom uniquely your own.

HIDE IT IN PLAIN SIGHT

Image: Inspiration for Home

News flash: a mudroom doesn’t have to be an actual room. If space is an issue, create a spot by the door that serves the same purpose. You don’t have to invest in custom cabinetry or fancy accessories. Install some hooks or shelves (or both), maybe a place to sit and boom! Instant mudroom. Use paint or wallpaper to visually define the mudroom zone or downplay the area if you prefer it to go unnoticed.

CONVERT A CLOSET

Image: Good Housekeeping

Do you really need a coat closet? Or do you need a mini mudroom with storage space for more than just coats? With a little planning and a few basic accessories, you can probably transform a hall closet into a functional mudroom over a weekend. Whether you remove the door for easy access or keep it to hold more things (and hide any clutter) is completely up to you.

LOCK(ER) IT UP

Image: ApartmentABC.com

Remember how cool it was when you got your first locker? Lockers are still a good way to store things, especially for homes with children. Giving each member of the family a designated space offers a sense of ownership over their spot and—in theory—will help keep them organized. Can lockers turn the morning rush craziness into peace and calm? Probably not, but they can save time by cutting down on the places to look for bags, shoes, etc., so that’s a win.

ADD PERSONALITY

Image: Simon Upton on House Beautiful

Just because a mudroom is functional doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful, too. While a mudroom that’s integrated into another room is often designed to be discreet, feel free to go a little wild with a separate space.  It’s often the first place you see as you enter, so it should welcome you home. Think of it as an opportunity to have a little fun with color or decor that makes you smile.

MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU

Image: Place Ideal

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Families with children need kid-friendly storage. Dog owners need a place to dry a wet pet, hang leashes, etc. Gardeners could use a spot to stash muddy shoes. Before you recreate a picture-perfect mudroom, make sure it will work for the way you’ll actually use it.

When it’s chilly outside, there’s no better place to be than a nice, warm, cozy kitchen. If your kitchen’s current look leaves you cold, check out the top trends we’re seeing in kitchen colors.

NOT (ALL) WHITE

Image: Pinterest

According to Houzz, all-white kitchens are out and color is in, though the non-white alternatives are a mixed bag of paint colors and wood tones. Off-white still has a place in homeowners’ hearts, as do white upper cabinets paired with wood or colorful lowers.

LEAFY GREENS

Image: The Savvy Folks

Emerald green and other jewel tones are moving away from out of the kitchen spotlight and heading backstage into smaller spaces like pantries and bars. This year, designers are into nature-inspired shades of green that help bring the outside in.

STAINED WOOD

Image: HomemadeGraceful

Likely a continuation of the “bring nature inside” trend we’ve seen over the last few years, stained wood cabinets are moving up the charts. These are not the deep, dark cabinets of the nineties, though, as medium-to-light wood tones are favored.

WARM NEUTRALS

Image: Pinterest

Warm neutrals (think mushroom, stone and putty) are at the top of several lists—and not just for cabinets. Refreshing a kitchen’s walls can make a huge difference at a fraction of the time, effort and cost of changing the cabinet color.

SOFT BLUES

Image: ApartmentABC

Soft blues are also predicted to be popular. It’s no wonder: depending on how and where they’re used, dusty or powder blues can evoke a calm, cottage feel or a cool, modern vibe. And who doesn’t want to feel calm and cool while they’re cooking over a hot stove after a long day?

When you’re ready to spice up your kitchen’s color scheme, contact us for a quote. Together, we can make your kitchen look delicious­­—whether you actually cook in it or not.

CREATE A CUSTOM PERFUME/COLOGNE

Image: Fulvio Ciccolo

Perfume is often a go-to gift for Valentine’s Day, but why give a scent made for the masses when you can offer the chance to create a signature fragrance that’s as unique as they are? (Bonus: when you go to the class together, you may have the chance to weigh in on your partner’s choices.)

There are more listed eateries than you might think in and around Nashville—and they don’t all blow the budget. Sure, there are several fine dining establishments on the list, but Michelin also recognizes things like sustainability (January in Franklin), sommelier (Bad Idea in Nashville) and “Great Food at Great Value” (seven Nashville spots to choose from). See the list.

No matter how you choose to celebrate, have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
