Here is a paint job I did in my home town of Old Bridge . It's a tall foyer with approx 20ft ceilings and some very intricate trim and box work . The colors are mid tone bases St Martin sand & Serengeti sand by Benjamin Moore . Regal flat for the walls , Super Spec flat for the ceiling and of course Regal semigloss for the trims :)

That look great! Such warm colors' combination. What is your feedback about Benjamin Moore?
I was pleased with the coverage and coating of the Ben Moore but I have always liked Pittsburgh paints better , Unfortunately the biggest distributor of Pitt in New Jersey decided to change over to Pratt & Lambert which I think is garbage ! So Benny Moore it is ......

Nice work.

The window is not in the center, so is the chandelier..:) Which perhaps makes the cut-in/-around the chandelier easier --no scaffold, or extension poled brush is needed.

The boxes on main walls look nice. They'd look more interesting & busier if a smaller box of same shape is added inside of each large box. (Inside of the smaller is the lighter wall color).

I use a 12ft extention pole with a brush holder on it to cut around the chandelier , It takes patience and a steady hand ! But I'm not putting scaffolding up to reach that :yes:

Some jobs I could reach the base of chandelier by hand and unfasten the base cover, from top of extension ladder / side wall. If not, yes, a 6' step ladder, extension pole, brush holder, steady hand, wide-open eyes, and a lot of repeating in the mind "do not make a mistake, do not make a mistake..."

Me likes your sharp and straight cut lines on the trim/woodwork. Nicely done.
