That is a gorgeous blue. Any details on what it is?
Marvelous Mark just finished painting our two bedroom apartment and it is just fan-freaking-tatsic. We have a creamy oatmeal base and unbearably beautiful chocolate walls that are so very edible. Also, Mark helped me decide on a stunning coral for the workroom that I am sitting in right now. It is beyond gorgeous. Mark also painted the interior of a small house for us and that too is stunning. His choice of color is really, really wonderful, especially if you want to go with something dramatic. He is also the NEATEST painter ever. You will barely know he was there. We love our Mark!
I am in agreement with Patrick! I have been contemplating painting a brownstone parlor this exact blue. Anyone has any info to share on this lovely shade of blue?
Mark just painted my 1-bedroom apartment, and did a excellent job. He was very helpful with color selection (he supplemented my ideas with suggestions and recommendations), cleaned up the walls nicely, and kept things neat and orderly during the process. He also did a custom finish on the entry door based on a photo I showed him, and it looks great. Highly recommended. Would use Mark's services again.

Mark just painted our entire two bedroom apartment--walls, ceiling, trim, the whole deal--and we couldn't be happier. The colors are amazing, exactly what we wanted; Mark has a great eye, obviously, and helped steer us away from a bland, beige apartment (or the light blue/gray or buttercream equivalent). The job was done efficiently, neatly, and conscientiously--he will not just slap paint on the walls and walk away, but will offer advice and help guide you to taking those color choices that really make a home outstanding. If only I had more walls to paint! Thanks Mark...(Oh, and the cost was more than reasonable especially given the results.) Hire without hesitation!

Mark painted my bathroom, entryway and bedroom two days ago. Fabulous! He and another painter, Brian, came and worked a tough 10 hour day, but it was all done and it looks great. Very easy to work with, very neat. Like others have said, the cost is extremely reasonable for the quality of work and the speed. Use Mark, period.

Mark painted my entire one bedroom this past weekend. I echo what was said above (meticulous, neat, good value) and add that he has an amazing eye. He helped us choose color and then suggested and executed a fantastic pattern on one long wall. We're thrilled. I recommend him highly and without reservation to anyone.
