Falmouth, ME Home Gets a Fresh, Bright Interior Makeover

This interior painting project took us to a charming four-bedroom home in Falmouth, Maine. The homeowners had just moved in and wanted a complete refresh before fully settling in. The home had good bones, a thoughtful layout, and beautiful natural light—but the dated wall colors and aging trim didn’t do it justice.

We were brought in to complete a full interior repaint, including ceilings, walls, doors, trim, millwork, and even the central staircase. The job spanned the entire home and took about two weeks from start to finish. As always, pricing varies based on square footage, prep needs, and detail work, but we provided the clients with a custom estimate after an in-home consultation.

Our mission was to give this space a lighter, cleaner, more timeless look—and to make sure every room felt fresh, updated, and uniquely theirs.

The homeowners were a young family with a strong vision. They had recently purchased this house and were eager to make it feel like home—but the existing paint made things feel dark, dated, and too formal.

They told us they wanted something bright and calming, without feeling sterile. Warm whites, soft tones, and a finish that could stand up to everyday life with kids and pets. They were especially unsure about the trim color—it needed to be clean, but not too stark.

They reached out to CYR Painting Service after a neighbor recommended us, and we scheduled a walk-through. We listened closely, offered suggestions, and even brought a few sample boards to help visualize the colors. Once they saw Sojie White and Creamy together, they knew it was the right direction.

What made this project really special was how involved the homeowners were—they genuinely cared about each room and trusted us to bring their vision to life. That level of collaboration always results in something memorable.

• Ceiling Priming & Painting: Primed and painted all ceilings in a clean, bright white to freshen up the entire home.

• Wall Painting: Applied Sherwin-Williams Cashmere Eggshell in Sojie White to all bedroom and hallway walls for a smooth, modern finish.

• Trim & Millwork Painting: Refinished all trim, interior doors, and millwork using Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane in Creamy, giving every edge a soft, durable sheen.

• Staircase Detailing: Carefully painted the central staircase to coordinate with the trim, tying together the entryway and upstairs with a consistent, elegant look.

• Surface Prep: Sanded, patched, and caulked all surfaces as needed to ensure perfect adhesion and seamless transitions throughout the home.

This project was a true transformation.

What started as a tired, neutral interior became a bright, welcoming, and cohesive home. The new color palette lifted every room. The trim popped, the walls felt calm and elegant, and the staircase—once overlooked—now stood as a centerpiece.

The clients couldn’t have been happier. After we wrapped up, the homeowner told us, “This is exactly what we hoped for. It feels like a brand-new house.”

That’s what we love to hear. At CYR Painting Service, we don’t just paint walls—we help people fall in love with their homes all over again. And with every brushstroke, we do it with care, professionalism, and pride.
