🍂 The summer chaos is settling—it's time for a fall home reset!

Once the kids are back in class and the summer chaos settles, fall is the perfect time for a clean slate. But before you pull out the autumn decor, why not give your most-used spaces a real reset?

Over on the blog, we’re sharing our simple 4-Step "Clean Slate" Strategy to help you declutter, prep, and refresh your space step-by-step.

💡 Pro-Tip from the post: When decluttering, pop painter’s tape right next to wall scuffs or nail holes as you slide furniture out. It’ll save you double the time when it’s time to touch up or paint!

🏠 Ready for a Fresh Start?
Deciding when to update your home’s exterior and choosing the right color palette can feel like a high-stakes decision. After all, it’s the first impression your home makes!

Over time, even the best paint begins to fade and lose its protective qualities against the elements. A fresh coat of paint does far more than just improve curb appeal—it safeguards your home's exterior while giving it a clean, modern look that lasts for years. 🎨✨

If you’ve been thinking about modernizing your look, the current trends are all about timeless, welcoming palettes:

Warm Whites & Greiges: Softer, inviting tones that feel sophisticated without being sterile.

Crisp High-Contrast Accents: Pairing those lighter body colors with striking dark roofs, black painted trim, and modern accents.

Every great transformation starts with a solid plan and expert preparation. If your home is showing signs of wear or you’re just ready to fall in love with your curb appeal all over again, we would love to help.

🎨 The #1 Question We Get Before a Paint Job Starts...

You’ve spent weeks browsing Pinterest, collecting paint chips, and finally found the absolute perfect color. Decision made, right? Not quite! 🤔

There’s one critical question left that completely changes how that color looks on your walls: Which paint sheen should you choose?

Pick a finish that’s too shiny, and every minor wall flaw catches the light. Pick one that’s too flat for a busy hallway, and you’ll be scrubbing off scuff marks forever.

To save you the headache, we put together a quick, no-nonsense cheat sheet to match the right finish to every room:

✨ Semi-Gloss: Radiant and scrubbable. The absolute go-to for trim, baseboards, and doors. Also great for high-moisture kitchens and bathrooms!
🛋️ Satin: A rich, velvety finish. It handles cleaning like a champ and is perfect for high-traffic foyers, family rooms, and kids' bedrooms.
🥚 Eggshell: A soft, understated look with just a hint of luster. It does a fantastic job of hiding minor wall imperfections in living and dining rooms.
🛏️ Flat/Matte: Completely non-reflective. It acts like ultimate camouflage for ceiling flaws, master bedrooms, and low-traffic guest rooms.

Choosing the right sheen is a science, but you don't have to figure it out alone! Let the team at ColaTown Painting handle the hard work for you. No worries—we're on the job! 👍

💙 More Than Just Paint: Family & Awareness 💙
At Colatown Painting, we treat every home like it’s our own—because to us, family is everything. Today, I’m using our platform to share a story about my nephew, Elliott.

Elliott lives with Homocystinuria (HCU), a rare metabolic condition. Watching him navigate life with such resilience—and a very strict low-protein diet—makes me incredibly proud to be his uncle.

A Story of Resilience
When Elliott was only 2 years old, our family almost lost him. His HCU was missed during newborn screening, leading to a medical emergency that left him in a coma. We are forever grateful to Dr. Schroer at Greenwood Genetics and the incredible team at Prisma Children's Hospital for their life-saving intervention.

May 18th is World Homocystinuria Awareness Day. I’m sharing this because no family’s health should depend on "luck." We need:

More accurate newborn screenings.

Support for the specialists who save lives.

Funding for research to find a cure.

How You Can Join Us
To support the cause, HCU Network America is hosting a raffle with some fantastic prizes. All proceeds go toward research for new medications and treatments.

👉 Support HCU Research & Enter the Raffle Here https://charity.pledgeit.org/WHAD26?mc_cid=4fb694523d&mc_eid=UNIQID

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this post. Spreading the word is just as valuable as a donation. Thank you for supporting my family and this cause!

Is your home "Summer Ready" or just "Summer-ish?" ☀️🏡

We’ve all been there—the May sun finally hits the front porch, and suddenly you notice that the trim looks a little more "shabby" than "chic". With graduation parties and family visits right around the corner, we’re all looking at our spaces with fresh eyes.

Take a look at this recent project! We love how this vibrant red door creates a focal point against the crisp white siding and those classic black shutters. It’s a perfect example of how a few "intentional" changes can make a home feel completely refreshed and ready for life again.

At ColaTown Painting, we love this "sweet spot" in South Carolina—the weather is perfect for a refresh before the real summer humidity moves in!

We want to know: 🎨
If you could wave a magic wand and change one color on your home today—the front door, the shutters, or the whole exterior—what color are you picking?

👇 Drop your "dream color" in the comments! Do you love the classic red in this photo, or are you dreaming of something different?

Ready to fall in love with your home again? Give Britt a call at (803) 603-6486. Let’s make your home the star of the neighborhood before the first barbecue of the year! PS: Check out the first comment if you are looking for some easy curb appeal ideas!
