My expertise in faux finishing includes color consultation and coordination, listening to what your
visions are, and the ability to bring those visions into reality with a customized finish that will
provide you with a lovely environment that expresses you and compliments your furnishings.
The treatments are, often, created with a smooth finish, but an "upgrade" of a elegant,
textured finishes may provide that distinctive look your visions held captive.

Decorative finishes, now, include the option of concrete overlays.   These finishes and materials
may be used over new or older concrete.  The product, also, works over formica, ceramic and
any surface that can be painted.

The use of woods and marbling in the home or office adds warmth and beauty. Many woods and
marbles are quite expensive or unavailable.  For this, woodgraining or marbling techniques can be
created for your walls, trim or furniture.  These finishes are high end in pricing and will impress
your family, guests or clients.

Along with your faux finish or separately, stenciling is a lovely accompaniment to further
create a completed look for your surroundings. Stencils are no longer the little country houses
one remembers, but lovely artwork, that appears hand-drawn that can be color customized to
items that you live with.

Floorcloths are making a grand comeback from historic ages back are an unique alternative to
carpeting or floor rugs.  Again, a floorcloth can be designed to match fabric and patterns in your
home or business.  They are durable, provide protection, and are a "work of art" for your room.
