Shearer Painting
In March 2013 my painting company was asked to install a technically challenging high gloss finish on a rail cap/spindle build as part of a one of a kind custom staircase inspired by a historic staircase at the Compagnon Artisan School in France. The staircase was design and installed by our colleagues at Seattle Stair & Design. The owner and design team wanted the highest gloss finish in black for the handrails with a custom tinted off-white in high gloss to compliment the black cap and adjacent natural wood tones.
Shearer Painting was asked to create full paint finish mockups for Owner and Design Team evaluation. The level of gloss was one of several considerations (durabilty, reflective luminescence, etc). Full scale color substrate mock up installs are time consuming and costly; on this project the sheer scale and cost of the project warranted that no option be left unexplored. The staircase is the center piece to a Seattle water front residence with 180 degree water reflectance into the home (lots of natural light!!).
Sherwin Williams oil enamels in Black and white vs. Fine Paints of Europe Hollandlac Brilliant in Black and White.
Videos and pictures are inadequate to reproduce the gloss difference. The entire design team and the owner all agreed the Fine Paints was a significantly higher gloss. This has repeatedly been my professional experience with architectural finishes (also the opinion of many painting contractors).
There are specialty/exotic coatings particularly designed for automotive finishes (we have used them) but the performance on non metal substrates is less than desirable as surfaces expand and contract at different rates; and impossible to cost effectively touchup when maintenance is needed. There are painting contractors and cabinet finishers that advocate automotive finishes; in my opinion they look great at install but are regrettable if the surfaces are in high traffic areas (like stairwells and kitchens).
Shearer Painting had a long run of achieving high gloss finishes in the late 1990′s with oil base enamels followed up with micro abrasives (such as rotten stone). Almost all the high quality alkyd enamel paints available before 1997 are greatly diminished in terms of hardness and color retention (although the product names remain the same). We have almost completely abandoned this technique except for a handful of owners and designers who insist on it.
Waterbased enamels are greatly improved since the ban of oil based paints in states such as California.

Media Rooms Inc

Our company is unique in that we actually design and build cabinets and theater interiors in-house. We do not subcontract these services out to others. We take a highly creative approach when designing custom cabinetry. We are extremely sensitive to the leading role that media and entertainment centers play in today’s interior design.
Every facet of each cabinet is evaluated for function and appearance. First, we look at how the furniture will blend with the existing environment. We build any style of furniture from traditional to contemporary and in all cases strive for harmony in the design. Secondly, we evaluate how the client will use the cabinetry, such as, where is the best TV viewing angle, component accessibility and how the size, shape and location will affect other elements in the room.
In addition to the artistic beauty of our cabinetry, good design is the key element to well built, long-lasting and user-friendly furniture crafted specifically for each customer’s lifestyle. We only use premium-grade veneered plywoods and hardwood, and premium quality hardware.

The homeowner, Pam , hired Melissa Main, a Feng Shui consultant to evaluate her home. Much of the design was driven by Melissa’s evaluation and principles of Feng Shui. Between the kitchen and breakfast nook, there are three Feng Shui zones. The cook top run is where abundance and prosperity is activated. The recommendation was to have Metal, Earth and Wood elements. The copper hood satisfied the metal. For the earth element, we used the stone counter top, and for the wood component we chose solid wood cabinets as well as the existing oak floor. The sink run activates fame and recognition and is activated by Fire. It was recommended to have fire elements that included the color red, candles and light. We choose Cherry cabinets in its natural red finish and the red tones of the marble counter tops to satisfy this recommendation. We planned on having a few candles sit on the counter top as a decorative and functional element of fire as well. The breakfast nook and part of the island activates marriage and partnership, which is represented by the Circle shape and Metals. We incorporated this by the curve of the island as well as the metal in the overhead light. We also choose the curved side panels to further integrate the flow of energy throughout the space.
There are usually two cooks in the kitchen at a time so the prep sink was added in the island. The electric cook top was traded for a more efficient gas cook top set along the wall so that we could create a beautiful focal point for the kitchen with the use of the copper hood and of the hand crafted tile. The existing desk was stained to match the color of the cherry cabinets. The existing floor was patched and re-stained to blend better with the new cabinets.

width x 78 cm in height (Standard Dining) and the table top is over 3 inches in thickness. We finished the table top in a protective gloss catalyzed lacquer finish. We designed and created the leg frames in chrome dipped solid steel.

enjoyed everyday.

"The Glens was designed as an outdoor entertainment, recreation, and retreat space for the client. The design began with a thorough evaluation of existing structures, vegetation, and topography to provide the clients with a clear understanding of the site and the phaes of the installation. The plan includes siting the wood deck, swimming pool, outdoor pavilion / kitchen area, sports court, gardens, car park, and drainage."

Award winner: Second Place, 2012 NKBA N.CA. (Small Bathrooms)
This new bathroom needed to appeal to the retro-hip yet contemporary tastes of a 17-year-old boy while fitting in with his parents’ Mediterranean home. Carved out of an awkward closet and the corner of an existing bedroom, the bathroom features an innovative sink and vanity design that enables functional space within only 18” of depth. A frosted glass pocket door preserves privacy while making up for the bathroom’s lack of natural light.
