Faux Painting: Home Is Where the Hearth Is

Faux Painting: Home Is Where the Hearth Is
Even in sunny Southwest Florida we appreciate he coziness of a fireplace. Granted we light them for ambiance, not heat.  Since most of the fireplace construction is in architectural foam products I’m often asked to faux paint the fireplace or its surrounds to create the warm Mediterranean look  that graces our homes.

Subtle faux glaze gives a warm feel to a neutral interior palette:



Formally bright white the faux painting now allows this fireplace exude warmth without being lit:



The bricks are painted in a variety of honey browns, sienna, umber, and creams


The mantle and hearth are painted in faux marble.





The columns and niches are faux painted in deep bronzes and coppers.
