For Owner John McFarland, homes like this are a reminder of why craftsmanship still matters.

A well-finished surface does more than look good the day it’s completed. It protects the materials beneath it and allows the architecture to continue telling its story for decades.

In this Bexley riverfront home, every room now works together—the color, the textures, and the architectural details all moving in the same direction.
The result is a home that feels timeless, connected to its surroundings, and deeply comfortable to live in.

Exactly the way a historic home should feel.

Honoring the History of the Bexley Home

Working in historic homes throughout Bexley often requires a different mindset than working in newer construction.

The architecture already carries meaning.

The wood doors and frames, the trim details, and the materials chosen decades ago all contribute to the character of the house.

Our role is not to replace that story. It’s to reveal it.

Sometimes that means adjusting a color palette so it supports the materials around it. Sometimes it means introducing subtle decorative finishes that add depth without distracting from the architecture.

In every case, the goal is longevity.
The finishes should look as appropriate ten years from now as they do today.

Upper Arlington, Powell, Bexley

Not every kitchen or wet bar needs to be replaced to feel entirely new.

We’re seeing a shift toward thoughtful updates—cabinetry refinished to a furniture-grade standard, layered paint tones that soften the space, and wallpaper that introduces depth in a way that feels collected over time.

The result is quieter. More personal. And often, far more enduring. See more project photos >> https://www.classic-inc.com/portfolio

A Golf Collector’s Den Inspired by Pebble Beach. Kip Opgrand, thank you for letting us spotlight your beautiful den.

In this richly detailed den, the story of the homeowner’s past is written into every surface. The owner spent years as a specialty dealer in golf antiques near the legendary Pebble Beach Golf Links, and the room now serves as a quiet tribute to that chapter of life. Classic Papering & Painting brought depth and structure to the space with a deep navy finish applied across the paneling, trim, and built-ins—creating a backdrop that allows the collection of golf memorabilia to feel curated rather than crowded. Vintage clubs, tournament flags, framed photographs, and collected artifacts sit comfortably alongside warm wood furniture and the brick fireplace, giving the room the feeling of a traditional club library.

Just beyond the French doors, the view opens to the homeowner’s private putting green—a daily reminder of the game that shaped so much of his career. He jokes that he never worries about stray shots reaching the driveway, because his aim has always been “on point.”

The result is a room that feels both personal and timeless: part collector’s gallery, part fireside retreat, and entirely reflective of a life spent around the game of golf.

The exterior palette was chosen to complement the organic textures surrounding the home—the stone, wood, water, and plantings. The pergola and fence, in particular, were stained to emphasize grain movement and natural warmth while maintaining durability in Ohio’s climate.

The lattice panels on the exterior walls received a fresh, refined treatment to unify the architectural lines and create subtle contrast against the home’s main façade. See more photos >> https://www.classic-inc.com/upper-arlington-four-seasons

When Sunroom Windows Become a Canvas for Precision

The painted sunroom is a showcase of height, scale, and fine detail. “We’re standing in front of an elaborate set of windows. As you can see, the height and width—it pretty much takes up this entire wall. We had to bring in scaffolding just due to the difficulty of setting up ladders against this,” says John McFarland, Owner of Classic Papering & Painting Inc.

Gray accents between window sashes highlight the craftsmanship of Classic Papering & Painting Inc., proving that meticulous painting can elevate even the largest features of a home. “The detail is very high end. It took a lot of time for us to do this, and it really had to bring in some great craftsmen to take care of that.”

Before choosing a cabinet color, ask a better question:

What system will protect it for the next 10–20 years?

Stained cabinets require a bonding primer that adheres to sealed surfaces.

Raw wood requires layered build primer, sanded smooth before topcoat.

High-use surfaces deserve oil-based finishes engineered for durability.

Beautiful cabinetry isn’t just sprayed — it’s built.

Because when preparation is rushed, failure is inevitable.
When it’s done correctly, the finish feels furniture-grade and quietly permanent.

Craftsmanship shows in the details you can’t see.
