John Young has a unique ability to garner your trust while working in partnership with him, all the while gently nudging you out of your comfort zone with his brilliant color recommendations and combinations. In my experience of handing over four rooms to him, I have always been thrilled with the outcome, thoroughly enjoyed the process of getting there, and deepened my respect for him as a highly effective consultant. Our most recent project, my home/office for leisure travel consulting, offers my clients a serene yet enervating atmosphere within we can effortlessly embark upon orchestrating their travel dreams. What's more, it is a room that I love spending my down time in!

I would like to thank John Young of New Projét for his help in designing and installing the faux finishes in our new restaurant. He captured the essence of our vision, his sense of color and finish was spot on. I would gladly recommend him to anyone needing his service.

It was terrific working with John. He has a tremendous aptitude for quickly assessing the situation - who you are, what your lifestyle is - and uses this information very effectively. We've done several projects together and each time John made my home a special space using both subtle and dramatic effects.

We are writing to express our appreciation to you for the beautiful job you did in updating our home.
We are excited about the marbleized columns in the foyer, the Venetian plaster in the dining room, faux paint in the living room, fireplace, hall ways, bathrooms and especially the kitchen. We love our new look! We especially like the way the colors flow from our foyer to the kitchen and even into the hall and half bath.
We have received so many compliments on your work.
John, it is very refreshing to work with someone of your caliber. Your honesty, hard work, attention to every little detail is to be envied. It was so nice to be able to turn our house key over to you and let you transform and update everything.
Thanks for all your help with additional decorating tips.
We look forward to working with you again in the near future.
Sincerely
Frank & Betty Lesnock

John has done a number of color consultations for me. His choices have always been the key to tying the whole room décor together. With his help, I consistently get the right color the first time saving time, money and frustration. My husband loves him because he doesn't have to repaint after I've made a poor color choice on my own!
Best Wishes,

John Young with New Projét provided excellent color selection guidance and expert installation of faux finish walls. Made a very "uninteresting room" very appealing. He gave an old house a new look.

Thanks so much for the wonderful job New Projét did on my kitchen cabinets. Going from a dark heavily grained oak to a creamy white faux finish has opened up my whole kithcen and given it a custom look. Your advice and sense of color gave me complete confidence in making such a dramatic change. You and Tom were always professional and efficent, keeping a neatwork environment and finishing the work right on schedule. Most of all Iappreciate the quality and thoroughness of your painting process. Thoseextra coats of primer and sealer will give my cabinets durability as wellas beauty for years to come and all at a reasonable cost.
Many Thanks,

John Young created an amazing Venetian plaster design for our kitchen. The color, texture, and movement were exactly what we wanted. He is creative, flexible, professional, and offers great attention to detail. His results are superior. John has completed other projects for us in the past. We highly recommend New Projét.

John came to our home initially to do a color consultation in our master bedrom / bathroom. He recommended a color much darker than we anticipated...but we decided to give it a try. He also priced the job for us, and we were pleasantly surprised to find him very affordable so we asked him to apply the color. As soon as he got started, we knew it was the right choice.
Since then he has done several other rooms for us, as well as consulting on compatible kitchen countertop and exterior colors. On one occasion we gave him the keys and left town, and returned to 3 freshly painted rooms. He and his crew pay great attention to detail,too. It is a pleasure to have had them in my home.
I highly recommend John for his eye for color, his creativity, and the quality of his work. I have referred him to several of my friends and clients, and they have all been very pleased, too.

Recently had a project in the house and wasn't sure what I wanted to do. This involved major areas of my 3400 sqaure foot home (Kitchen, Family, Master BR, Master Bath, Stairwells and Hallways, and three more bedrooms). This was no small project and I really had no idea what colors I wanted and how this would look when finished either.
I contacted Mr. John Young of New Projet Painted Interior Finishes. Mr. Young is a true professional. He was prompt, on-time with all appointments and communicated with me throughout the project. He ensured my satisfaction with each phase of this pretty significant task before moving on to another area of the home. His color suggestions were right on target with our design concept. Bottomline - Mr Young helped our family put the "right" mix of colors into our home to meet our needs and expectations.
If you are looking for someone who knows what they are doing Mr. John Young and New Projet is the best man and company to get in touch with, you will see truly professional results.

John has a gift for finding the correct color for each room . We love the way that the colors flow perfectly from one room to the next, while complementing the art work and furniture that was already in place. The colors range from playful in the family room to more sophisticated in the living and dining rooms. The professionalism from beginning to end was much appreciated. I would be delighted to be a reference for New Projet.
I am looking forward to working with John again in the near future.

John took our builder spec dining room and turned it into a piece of art. His color expertise is invaluable and the quality of his work is impeccable. I can't wait to do another project with him.

As you know, we almost did not ask you for an estimate because we thought we could not afford you after looking at the beautiful work on your website. We are so glad you talked us into it. In four short days the interior of our house was transformed into exactly what we had hoped, and at a reasonable price. We have already recommended you to our friends and won't hesitate to give you a reference should you ever ask for one. Kudos to you and your crew for a job well-done!
