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

This customized headboard got acomplete new look with the romantic French Country style painting.

Blue pansies are holding the robbon at the corners and make a great contrast to the dark wood.

I can practically paint anything you like on a headboard or piece of furniture.

: French Country Cabinet

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

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.
