Color and Finish Options
Although a true Windsor would typically be stained in Pitch Black, I use a selection of paints that come in a wide array of colors and can be mixed to suit your needs.
These paints capture the charm and character of Colonial, Federal and Victorian periods. They are formulated for use either inside or outside, over a great variety of substrates.
Colors are authentic reproductions of those used by the traveling craftsmen of 1790 and the village painter of 1840. The colors were of the same families for that entire space of time and used in a variety of ways, indoors and outdoors.
Most of the paints are made with natural earth pigments from around the world, including oxides from Spain and Italy and linseed oils from America's own Mid-West. The colors are warm and friendly in accordance with Colonial, Federal, and Victorian architecture. They also create striking backgrounds for modern settings.
Custom finishes are available upon request. |
