Faux Finishes & Mural Painting: I Just Love Your “Accent”

Faux Finishes & Mural Painting: I Just Love Your “Accent”

I’ve had the opportunity to live all across our wonderful U.S.A. and abroad in Europe. The accents vary as much as the food and each just as delightful. Of course, being an American I don’t consider myself to have an “accent”. But truth be told I do have a slight southern slide. My darling  husband is from Australia and has an accent to die for. Each person’s accent makes them unique and tells a story of who they are and where they came from. The same goes for faux finishes and murals created on home owner’s “accent” pieces in their home.

Here’s a tour of accents I’ve created for clients over the years. Each piece was painted specifically for their home’s story; each piece is as varied and delightful as each of them.

Lighting:

This accent lamp went from yellow to red:

Although adorable in its original aged gold finish, this parrot is even more a center piece in full color:

Tables and Chairs

Every home needs a few accent side chairs ,rockers, and tables:
