Faux Painting: On the Ceiling- Keeping It Simple

Faux Painting: On the Ceiling- Keeping It Simple

Look Up! What do you see? Chances are you are staring at a plain stark white ceiling.

The ceiling is one of the most over looked surfaces in the home. Yet there it hovers day after day, an empty blank canvas waiting to enhance your home.

The ceiling is the perfect location to have a faux finish applied. Not necessarily anything extreme. A gentle faux wash or a neutral glaze is often the perfect way to accentuate your décor and give it an elegant warm feeling.

A soft faux wash on the ceiling along with hand painted leaves that extend the look of the lighting mount.

A few examples of neutral faux finish:

Faux Finish Painting: Pineapples, Garden Gods, and Smashing Mozart

Faux Finish Painting: Pineapples, Garden Gods, and Smashing Mozart

What do you do when you smash a beloved bust of Mozart? Call Swan Studios Inc. 

( http://www.swanstudio.net/ ), that’s what you do! Recently a client requested I faux finish a bust of Mozart to conceal the effects after he was “reassembled” from a fall. Wolfgang received a treatment of several shades of gold, antique glaze, and a clear top coat.

Faux Finish isn't just reserved for musical prodigies.  Below is a series of statues given a light marbleized treatment. The statues after receiving a clear top coat where used around the clients outdoor garden and pool.

A terracotta faux finish graces another outdoor pineapple statue:

Faux painted in deep rich colors and antique glaze is just what this plain white parrot lamp needed:

Whatever statue you have for indoors or outdoors, contact Swan Studios Inc ( http://www.swanstudio.net/ ) to give it a glorious new faux finish !
