Dining rooms deserve the best

French style Stencil for dining room ceiling

The background of this ceiling is a very special wall finish which feels like velvet.
It needs a very smooth surface (Level 5) and a special underground paint which will absorb the top coat. The top coat is a thick paste (almost like a plaster) which will be added with a trowel or spatula.
My client liked an ornate stencil for each corner which adds a very classy and stylish touch to the dining room.

If you like to see samples of the velvet wall finish call me

Cabinet in French Country Style

Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of the cabinet before I refinished it! It was all painted black and had no knobs but many scratches! Hard to believe…

I sanded it almost down but left patches of black paint. The first finish was antique white  and then combinations of different glazed.

The knobs I found at the stylish store “Anthropologie” and they fit perfect.
it has  a shelf inside and an upper drawer. Selling it for $165.

Mural with Roses – The perfect Nursery Mural

Nursery Mural

Nursery Mural

Karyssa’s bed is surrounded by many roses and butterflies – this romantic nursery mural is located in Granada Hills and I did it for a young couple who expected their first baby.

The name sign is hand painted; the roses are rather old fashioned and would also fit as well into a French country styled home.

The alternative to wall paper: Hand painted wall paper with roses, if you like floral art and want to add something special to your home.

French Design Ceiling

French Design on a Ceiling

This Design is so French as it can get. My client’s home was throughout decorated in French style and when the dining area was remodelled they installed a sort of cathedral ceiling. 

Without the faux finished background and the design the four parts of the ceiling were not visible at all. 

I choose gold and copper for the ornamental painting and a very subtle faux finish in the brownish tone of the adjacent walls. It looks awesome with the crystal chandelier in the middle.
