Wooden Columns Refinishing

Restoration of hand carved columns

To refinish these columns was a challenge indeed! The color of the four hand carved columns along a wonderful sparkling swimming pool of the Mulholland residence were brown and there was hardly any color left. Wind, sun and rain had caused the paint to fade away over the years.

The home owners contacted me and asked me to refinish the columns. And as you can see on the picture, I found my way to the beautul carvings.

Suddenly you could see some contrast and the real beauty of the columns.

See the details! It was amazing how they looked after I sealed them with a varnish.

Call (818) 470 2932 if you have furniture or a wall which needs a new look.

How to make more out of a bathroom

Bathroom Faux finishes

It was my peasure to help my client to complete the bathroom in her charming Pasadena home.

For the walls and ceiling we were chosing a faux finish of French Country style – a style which was dominating the whole home.  It could be seen in the custom tiles, the cabinets and sinks.
I faux finished the doors and window frames in using first a dark brown as base coat, then a glaze mixed out of the actual wall color with some brown.  At the end I distressed the wood and used some brown for the edges and lines.
