reStore Personal Project Portraits: John Bollash Wallpaperer
If it’s Tuesday afternoon then John Bollash is getting his Zen on, wallpapering to the New Age sounds of WWUH (91.3 FM), the University of Hartford’s college station.
We met John a few years back when he wallpapered our dining room and bathroom. For the new studio, Shelley, our designer, pitched the idea of papering the ceiling with a big patterned Anthropologie wallpaper. We almost passed on it…but at the last minute went for it, got John on the phone and he got it done. So here’s reStore #2: John of John Bollash Wallpapering in Manchester (phone 860.645.9343). Thanks John, love the wallpaper!

reStore Personal Project Portraits: Seamus Painting
For the past month we’ve been busy getting our new studio ready in West Hartford Center. I wanted to do a personal photo project on the fixing-up process, so being a people photographer I decided to focus on the people who helped bring it all about. Here’s installment #1 of my reStore project: Seamus.
His name is Paul but his company is Seamus Painting. Actually his middle name is Seamus and that’s what his family calls him…besides, as he says, Paul’s Painting just doesn’t have the ring that Seamus Painting has. Paul’s an upbeat, personable guy (see photos below) who’s dad to three boys and lives in West Hartford. He coaches basketball and baseball, the latter with the West Hartford Little League–where he’s also helped to create the Miracle League baseball field on Trout Brook Drive–the first such field for special needs kids in New England.
Seamus Painting provides power-washing and interior and exterior painting….and his crew did a great job on our studio! You can reach Paul / Seamus at 860.965.1362 or seamuspainting@comcast.net. Thanks Paul for a fun shoot!
