			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Apogee Painting folks have left the painting business to explore other worlds. They recommend Sundeleaf Painting for all of your painting needs. Sundeleaf… 80 years of providing the highest quality painting with out of this world customer service.</p>
<p>Portland, Oregon community trusted painter Wesley Sundeleaf founded Sundeleaf Painting more than 80 years ago at the urging of his brother Richard, a well-known local architect. Wesley&#8217;s approach was simple. Always do the job right—act professionally, give superior service and deliver high-end painting of long-lasting quality.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Home makeovers are a hot topic &#8211; painting the kitchen, the family room or the bedroom can consume our time. We spend a great deal of time considering the right color to achieve just the right effect. But since we spend just as much time at the office as we do in the bedroom, perhaps we should consider a professional paint job in the workplace.</div>
<p>Just as with any room in the home, the color choice for the office or workplace will be of utmost importance. The office colors should reflect your business. If the business is a design business, a dance studio or something creative, consider bright colors like orange, yellow or even bright pink.  However, if the business is a traditional office setting such as a law office, a doctor’s office or bank, neutral colors such as taupe, cream or a light blue or green would be more appropriate.</p>
<p>To create some pizzazz in any office setting, consider an accent wall or ceiling color with a variant shade of the wall color.</p>
<p>If you are painting a conference room or central office space where ideas are shared, one area of the wall can be squared off and painted with <a href="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/bmpsweb/portals/bmps.portal?_nfpb=true&amp;_windowLabel=contentrenderer_1_4&amp;contentrenderer_1_4_actionOverride=%2Fbm%2Fcms%2FContentRenderer%2FrenderContent&amp;contentrenderer_1_4cnp=public_site%2Farticles%2Flearn_how%2Flh_faux_and_decorative_finishes&amp;contentrenderer_1_4np=public_site%2Farticles%2Flearn_how%2Flh_chalkboard&amp;_pageLabel=fh_learnhow" target="_blank">chalkboard paint</a>.  The wall then becomes functional for meetings,  ideas and other office-wide messages. Or consider the new <a href="http://ideapaint.com/better-than-whiteboards/index.html;jsessionid=0a0105501f43b9ac7ed2627140259f69c5212f74b3ad.e3eSc34OaxmTe34Pa38Ta38Schb0?ctt_entity=kw&amp;ctt_id=40540137&amp;gclid=CLbfxPTs1p8CFQkcawodIU_BbA&amp;ctt_ch=ps&amp;ctt_adnw=Google&amp;ctt_cli=2^9975^49707^982955&amp;ctt_nwtype=search&amp;ctt_kw=chalkboard+paint&amp;ctt_adid=4188227330" target="_blank">whiteboard paint </a>from IdeaPaint to transform a small area or an entire wall.</p>
<p>As with any paint job, <a href="http://www.apogeepainting.com" target="_blank">Apogee Painting</a> will assist you in choosing the best products for the room size, lighting and office needs. Before beginning the actual painting, the walls will be professionally prepared and prepped to guarantee the best possible finish.</p>
<p>Look forward to going to the office each day. With newly painted walls and coordinated accessories, the office will be an inviting, productive place.</p>
<p>Here are a few before and after pictures from a dental office painted last month by Apogee Painting:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week&#8217;s testimonial is from Chris in NE Portland&#8217;s Beaumont neighborhood.</p>
<p>Chris started to repaint the trim in his 1920&#8217;s bungalow, but wasn&#8217;t happy with the results. The enamel wasn&#8217;t laying out smoothly, plus it was taking too much time out of his busy schedule. Chris called <a href="http://www.sundeleafpainting.com" target="_blank">us</a>, &amp; we prepped &amp; painted the trim in 2 rooms. We also prepped &amp;  painted the skirt-boards, treads and risers of the stairwell, in a two tone combination.</p>
<p>From Chris: &#8220;thanks again for the work you did on my house. I appreciated your communication during the project &amp; being thoughtful of our pets.  And, of course, the painting crew did a great job. The stairs in particular look fantastic.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thank you for the kind words Chris!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ultraviolet exposure may have slowly faded the colors on your home. We stopped painting at the corner of this home to make a visual statement. On the right is the original paint, applied 8 years ago. On the left, is freshly applied paint mixed in the same brand, type and color formulation. This is cedar lap siding facing southeast with no shade.</p>
