Before & After: A Full Interior Repaint in Lakeland

These are photographs of our own work, not stock images. One home in Lakeland, taken room by room: walls, ceilings, doors, door frames and baseboards. Same camera position for both shots, nothing staged and nothing retouched.

Before and after interior painting in Lakeland, Florida: bedroom walls repainted from yellow to white by Cesana Painting — **Bedroom, yellow to white**A dated yellow that made the room read small and dark. Two coats of white over a full prime, with the ceiling line and baseboards cut in by hand rather than taped.

Before and after interior painting in Lakeland, Florida: bedroom walls repainted from teal to white by Cesana Painting — **Bedroom, teal to white**Strong colors like this teal are the ones people are told cannot be covered. They can, but only with the right primer and two full coats. The corners and the window return were cut in freehand.

Before and after painting in Lakeland, Florida: hallway walls, doors and trim repainted white by Cesana Painting — **Hallway, doors and trim**The part most quotes leave out. Walls, ceiling, both door slabs, the frames, the closet doors and every run of baseboard, all brought to the same white so nothing in the hallway looks like an afterthought.

Before and after bathroom painting in Lakeland, Florida: blue accent wall repainted white by Cesana Painting — **Bathroom, blue to white**Bathrooms are where Florida humidity shows first. This wall was taken to white with a finish made for damp rooms, cutting in tight around the tile, the mirror and the fixtures.

What you are actually looking at

So that the photographs are not read as more than they are, here is exactly what our work covered in this house:

Walls, ceilings, doors, door frames, closet doors and baseboards, primed and finished in two coats.
Cutting in done by hand at every ceiling line, corner and fixture.
The flooring in these photographs was installed by another contractor. We did the paint. We would rather tell you that than let a photo do the arguing for us.
