Mural Painting: Staying In Tip-Top Shape

Mural Painting: Staying In Tip-Top Shape

Murals can be painted just about anywhere: Walls, ceilings, doors, floors, furniture, and yes at the top of windows and sliders. Murals and faux creations offer a colorful and spectacular way to customize your window decor.

Shutters are a beautiful traditional window treatment, but occasionally a more colorful request comes along such as these colorful purple and red shutters:

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.
