I’m a professional journeyman painter with 16 years of experience. I specialize in cabinet refinishing, brick or stone fireplace color/lime washes & interior painting.

Took a break from cabinets to work on a couple of fireplaces 🔥 & did some normal painting (re-textured and painted a bathroom, living room entryway, and hallway) Both homeowners were thrilled with the end results. Nothing makes me happier than text from a client that just got home saying they loved & appreciated my & Sam’s hard work 🥰 Have a great day & Color Your World! 🎨🌎#JourneymanJess #KaleidoscopeInteriors Did you know February is Heart Health Month ❤️ This kitchen was one of the most challenging ones I’ve done yet but the praise & thankfulness we received from the homeowners made my day!!! 🎉The cabinets were 35yrs old & very dry open grained oak🚪The homeowners handy made worked hard at repairing some of the doors that had bigger cracks/splits in them & side rails that had slipped & were no longer sitting flush & we fine tuned them to hide them. The old oak had a very deep thick grain so I opted to bring out the big guns right from the start. Two coats of @centurionwood low odor vinyl sealer (even brushed & rolled it on the microwave cubby/casings that were made of cheap plywood... I know what you’re gonna say but it can be done) Thank you to @valleywoodcoatings for getting back to me & shipping that out! It was a life saver on this project!!! 1-2 coats (as needed) of @aquacoat grain filler & really pushed it into the door/drawer fronts & then topcoat with #Milesi from @clarkdeco As always thank you to the worlds best part time helper/ friend/my favorite apprentice @elementgirl15 Her attention to detail on tough projects is top notch 👌Have a great day & Color Your World!!! 🎨🌎JourneymanJess 💡 📸 🎥 I announced in Dec2020 that it had been a pretty exciting🎉 past couple of months for my business, for a few reasons! One I can’t chat about yet... but here’s a few I can! Last week I took a break from cabinet prep work to turn this black fireplace mantle into a warm weathered wood look. I did not strip or repaint the mantle. I just cleaned it really well, sanded it and used a variety of @generalfinishes waterbased stains. These stains can be mixed together to create custom colors, dry quickly & work great for layering to create this look. Afterwards I top-coated it with their flat finish to make it look more like natural wood & to match the sign above it. The homeowner was absolutely thrilled with the end results. She was not a fan of the shiny black mantle. Scroll through to see the before & during the process photos. Went back to this clients house just before Christmas to refinish two fireplace mantles to match their cabinets (I refinished these cabinets a few months ago) I finally got to see them with the new countertops & new backsplash my friend Jess at JP Kitchen helped them with! 😍 Another cabinet transformation wrapped up just before Christmas 🎄 These homeowners tore down some walls & a soffit to let more natural light in & boy does it make a huge difference! ☀️ We also decided to take down some upper cabinets to make room for some open wooden shelving. The toe kick boards and the cabinets that go above the fridge are finished and in the other room waiting to be installed. This kitchen looks so much more open and brighter now! The homeowners were thrilled with the transformation & can’t wait for their appliances, tile backsplash, etc. #KaleidoscopeInteriors #JourneymanJess Enjoying my staycation but realized I shared some photos to my story but never posted the before & afters of the fireplaces & mantles I worked on before Christmas! #KaleidoscopeInteriors #JourneymanJess #fireplace #fireplacemakeover #fireplacemantel #limewash #romabiopaints #weatheredwood #generalfinishes #whitewashed #drybrushing Another kitchen transformation done just in time for Thanksgiving 🦃 🍁These doors were in great shape but if you scroll through the pictures you can see how dark the kitchen looked on cloudy 🌧 days! The new white finish really brightened it up! 💡 #JourneymanJess #KaleidoscopeInteriors
