š± VIVA LA YBOR š±
Periwinkle kissed in Florida sun.
Alabaster trimming every edge like lace on a cigar bar dress.
And that Haint Blue ceiling⦠calm, clean, sultry.
This one isnāt just painted ā itās dressed.
That periwinkle shifts all day long. Morning light makes it soft and romantic. Midday sun pulls out the coastal confidence. By night, under warm porch glow, it settles into something rich and almost smokey.
Alabaster sharpens every window and fascia line like pressed linen against aged brick.
And that Haint Blue overhead?
Old-world Southern tradition. Meant to cool the porch, calm the spirits, and stretch out those late-night conversations that only Ybor knows how to hold.
And then⦠the black iron.
We restored and refinished the decorative filigree metalwork on the porch ā every scroll, every curve ā bringing it back to a rich satin black. The ornamental iron window guards (because āburglar barsā just doesnāt do them justice) now frame the home like vintage jewelry.
That contrast?
Soft periwinkle against bold black iron.
Sweet meets strong. Classic meets dangerous.
We didnāt just spray and walk away.
Full prep. Scraped and smoothed.
Oil prime over all raw wood.
Peel bond Primer on every surface for under armor and restorative measures.
Two full top coats.
Hand-cut trim.
Back-brushed everywhere for depth and durability.
Because historic soul deserves respect.
Sheās sweet. Sheās strong. Sheās got stories in her bones.

Color with character. Craft with conviction.
