Staging Becoming Steeped in History

My partner and I just received a job to work with the Charleston Library Society for a paint consultation and we are so excited to add this to our portfolio. The Library society is the third oldest library in the United States. It has an amazing history and has held a high position of importance since it was established in 1748.

We feel we have to be very careful as this is not just creating a new look ~ we have to take into consideration the history and the feel of the building and at the same time think 'refresh'. This will be a fun challenge!

Tracy, that is awesome. If you are doing a historic building then you should use "historic" paint. Check out "milk paint", formulated from original paint recipes, and of course environmentally friendly and non-toxic.

Cindy ~ Keep us posted on how your library job turns out! We are working on our design boards now and have completed the scheme for the private member lounge and now will try to figure out the upstairs lounge and 2 offices. We hope to add more jobs like this to our portfolio. Good Luck to you!!
