Welcome to the Springwater Painting Blog

When it comes to updating your kitchen cabinets, two popular options often come up: painting and staining. Both can dramatically transform the look of your kitchen, but each offers unique advantages depending on your style, budget, and long-term goals.

Whether you're building a new home, planning a renovation, or simply ready for a refresh, the right interior paint can completely transform your space. But not every style calls for the same palette.

If your deck is looking faded, weather-worn, or unevenly stained, it might be time for a refresh—and that starts long before the stain is applied. At Springwater Painting Co., we know that the key to a beautiful, long-lasting deck finish lies in one essential step: proper surface preparation.

When it comes to commercial interiors—whether it’s a boutique, café, office, or clinic—space is valuable real estate. But even when square footage is limited, smart design decisions can create a sense of openness and flow. One of the most powerful tools in your design arsenal? Paint.

Choosing the perfect sheen for your kitchen or bathroom cabinets isn’t just about style—it impacts durability, cleaning ease, and light reflection. Here’s how to decide between matte, semi-gloss, and high-gloss finishes so your cabinets look stunning and stand up to daily wear.

Choosing the right wood stain can transform a tired deck, fence, or pergola into a stunning focal point—while also protecting your investment from sun, rain, and wear. In 2025, the hottest stain colours strike a balance between rich warmth, natural neutrality, and a touch of modern edge. Here are five trending tones you’ll see on Springwater and Barrie homes this year (with real local examples to inspire your next project).
