Our Story

Three Generations of Painting Done Right

Woman Founded. Family Owned. Locally Operated.

Color Love Painting isn't a company that was built overnight. It was built brush by brush, room by room, over nearly four decades — starting with a mother who loved transforming spaces and carrying forward through a daughter and two grandsons who share that same passion. We're a Corvallis, Oregon painting company rooted in family, fueled by care, and committed to treating your home like our own.

Where It Started

A Legacy Built on Love and Paintbrushes

From a mother's passion project to three generations of trusted craftsmanship.

Color Love Painting LLC is a third-generation, woman-founded, family-owned painting company based in Corvallis, Oregon. Founded on nearly 40 years of painting legacy, the company serves homeowners, realtors, and small business owners throughout the Willamette Valley with residential and commercial painting services.

In her twenties, Janey, Laurie's mother, began painting all her own home projects, driven by a love for transforming spaces. In the years that followed, she turned that passion into a business, founding her own painting company and serving clients with care and precision for nearly four decades.

Laurie's love of painting began early. At 14 years old, the painting bug bit her, she grabbed a brush and painted her mother's kitchen walls while Janey was away. What could have been a mishap became a lifelong passion. In her twenties, Laurie learned the craft alongside Janey, absorbing the skills, pride, and high standards her mother had perfected over the years.

In their late teens, Laurie's sons, Myles and Liam, joined the family painting business for what started as temporary summer employment. Yet from the beginning, they found ways to add value, bringing a shared eye for detail and a commitment to organization. Together, they embraced innovation in both process and technique, always seeking more efficient ways to work while maintaining the family tradition of pride and care in every project. Over time, what began as a temporary venture grew into a genuine passion for transforming spaces and creating homes clients could truly enjoy.

Today, Laurie works alongside Myles and Liam, carrying forward the same tradition. Each project reflects a sharp eye for detail, tidy workspaces, and the joy of a craft done well. Homes are treated with the same care the family would give their own, with clean, crisp lines and careful attention to every detail.

This legacy continues to define the business — a family tradition built on care, precision, and respect, passed from one generation to the next.

Laurie Oneil

Founder & Lead Painter

Laurie is the heart of Color Love Painting. A third-generation painter and LEAD Certified professional, she brings decades of hands-on experience and an unwavering commitment to quality to every project. She learned the trade from her mother Janey, who ran her own painting company for nearly 40 years. When Laurie picked up that brush at 14 and painted her mom's kitchen, she didn't know she was starting a career — but the results spoke for themselves.

Myles & Liam Oneil

Painters & Operations

What started as a summer gig turned into a calling. Myles and Liam joined the family business in their late teens and quickly brought fresh energy, sharp organizational skills, and the same detail-oriented approach their mom and grandmother built the business on. As a family, they work well together and don't fight — which means your project gets done smoothly, efficiently, and with good vibes all around.
