“Eamonn is quite possibly the best Applicator
of Porter’s products I’ve ever seen” 

Carl Edwin Harvie

Creative director for Porter’s Paint’s, Australia

Eamonn Murphy of Barn Charm is now the leading Applicator of Porter’s Original Paints. We specialise in the application and training of these unique handmade designer paint products.

“I have always had a passion for Interior Design and a love of creating unique paint finishes. My interest in Interior Design began as a young Apprentice Painter in Dublin and later in Canada, where at an early age I developed a keen interest in alternative styles of Interior Design. Over the years I have learned so much from the diverse projects that I have been involved in, building vast knowledge and experience along the way. These projects have included overseeing and managing a graphics contract for Guinness Brewery involving the rebranding of 300 vehicles, landscape design contracts as well as commercial and private interior decorating contracts.

In recent years commissions for up-styling and re-purposing furniture and home accessories has given me an avenue to develop my love for the more creative side of my business and has attracted numerous private and commercial customers even before chalk paint became fashionable!

Now with the introduction of Porter’s Paints into Ireland for the first time, I am delighted to have the perfect opportunity to blend my knowledge and skills with wonderful specialty handmade products to produce stunning effects for feature walls and individually unique pieces for the home or industrial/commercial commissions.

I look forward to working with you to create something truly unique for your home or business”.

Eamonn.
