There are quite a few cities and towns in the world that showcase amazingly creative exterior paint jobs. Many of these places are seaside, and use incredibly bright exterior colours. You will see this on the east coast of Canada, many parts of Europe including Italy, Ireland, England and Denmark and even South Africa, India and many places in Latin America. It’s a very cool idea, and adds a lot to the places, making them vibrant and interesting. Here are

He didn’t mind the painter’s painting inside the house though, he got a chance to show off! He would look at you, swaying from side to side…he was dancing! While painting the family room in Benjamin Moore colour Shelbourne Buff, you would hear a hello from the kitchen next door…and it wasn’t another painter! If you were having

There were many city planning reasons for building row houses and saving space was one of them. In large cities, especially European cities, where space is limited and population is large and growing, that kind of thinking makes sense.

Exterior Painting of surfaces can often be challenging. Unpredictable Toronto weather, heights, landscaping and varied surfaces are all aspects that need to be considered. So when a job manager is planning and budgeting, the type of paint she decides upon plays a huge role. For this job in the St Clair and Dufferin area of Toronto, Benjamin Moore’s Exterior Aura was used on almost every surface that we painted: aluminum fascia and eaves, wooden window frames, cedar shakes, concrete posts, and doors. This
