Faux Painting: Let it Faux! Let it Faux! Let it Faux!

Faux Painting: Let it Faux! Let it Faux! Let it Faux!

It’s that glorious time of year when we celebrate the magical world of freshly falling snow! ...Except those of us who glory in the fact that we live in Southwest Florida and there is delightfully not a snow flake to be found! There is just massive amounts of beautiful sunshine and sandy beaches!

The Southwest Florida coast encompasses Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Estero, Bonita Springs, Naples, Marco Island, Pine Island, and of course, Sanibel and Captiva. So if your shivering in frigid air, check out some of places to explore : http://www.fodors.com/world/north-america/usa/florida/the-lower-gulf-coast While you’re here, you’ll also notice a blend of Tropical and Tuscan influences in our architecture for both indoors and outdoors,the perfect canvas for faux painting.  Every time I hear the seasonal winter song Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDQoWT7W5xg…. My artist head hears Let it Faux, Let it Faux, Let it Faux!

Quite often in a homeowner’s exuberance to embrace our tropical and Tuscan influences, they’ll attempt to paint their own walls and only to discover they really needed a professional faux artist to create what they actually had in mind.

This before and after shows the correction to golden hues wanted for a guest bathroom. Remember, "Golden" doesn't have to mean "Yellow" 
a closer look at the guest bath walls:


The home owner originally painted the master bath a bright terra cotta, only to discover it was way to bright for the small space. Then they attempted to spray paint brown over it to "faux" it......DO NOT do this! Besides not giving even coverage, it can be dangerous to use canned spray paint in places without proper ventilation.


a closer look at corrected wall color and finish:



A formerly deep red and gold dining room ceiling is now corrected to a tasteful subtle neutral faux:
