Glam and Groovy Foil Faux Wall Finish

Glam and Groovy Foil Faux Wall Finish

Every overnight guest should feel welcome. This tropical casita, created especially for the homeowner’s family and friends, delivers privacy, pampering, and oodles of glamour.

The wall across from the custom murphy bed needed something unique. The faux finish is inspired by the oversized mirror frame that flanks the wall.

 

The process was multi step. Using two different tones of metallic paint ( a silver and a taupe), The base was painted on using a spouncing motion with oversized chip brushes. Allow the paint to dry overnight. The next step is to use a small angle art brush the size you want the width of the stripes to be with Wunda Sizing.  These stripes were to be irregular, sort of wavy but not too wavy. Then silver foil is aggressively rubbed on. The Wunda sizing can vary in its time to become “tacky” based on the environment your in. Since this was across the whole wall, I worked the stripes in batches. Once all the stripes are foiled, let everything dry fully. Overnight if possible. The last step is a clear coat. I used Master Clear Coat in Gloss.

The end result is gorgeous!

Artistic Wall Finish

Artistic Wall Finish

The primary room should be a joy to enter. It's the first thing you see when you wake each day and the last thing you see when you lay down to sleep each night. The primary room should make your heart happy. Most home typically hang a piece of artwork over the headboard. But the headboard wall can do so much. Even the simplest art piece can become a masterpiece with the right wall finish. Go beyond just paint color and texture. Here's a wonderful example:

An art piece from a big box store was lost on a plain wall. I created the piece's background finish and texture to expand the height and width of the wall. Now the bedroom is a showstopper:

Although the lower portion just peaks out from behind the nightstands, its impact is huge. It gives a well curated look.

And the wall hanging now has a true sense of purpose.

Florida Zen

Florida Zen

The outdoor areas of our homes are a sanctuary. Living in SW Florida means spending sacred time outside on our lanais and lounging in the pool. For privacy, walls typically flank several if not all the sides around the pool. To keep the space from feeling sterile, homeowners choose to have custom murals painted for a tranquil view. A recent homeowner wanted the poolside courtyard to have a Zen vibe.  The walls are now painted with bamboo, foliage from around the home’s landscaping, a few colorful finches, and their own pets sitting amongst the plants. Their yard sculptures sit in front of mural. The over all effect is Florida Zen.

The Cat's Meow

The Cat's Meow

I admit I’m definitely a cat lover. I’ve owned cats most of my life. They’re divine creatures that are bundles of soft furry purring love. Their paws are adorable. Their ears are adorable. Their whiskers are adorable. (Okay, the chucking up fur balls isn’t adorable, but every creature has its faults). It’s always such a joy when I’m asked to include a homeowner’s pets into their custom painted murals. The mural was for an exterior wall surrounding a courtyard pool. I’ll feature the full mural soon. For today though I’m sharing the owner’s sweet elderly cats. 

The cats are painted life size among the painted foliage and rocks just enjoying the day poolside:

A closer look at each:

The first is a black and white cat with a distinctive moustache marking:

The second is a tan and white Devon Rex known for their Yoda-like ears and large eyes:
