This pommegranate tree is part of  abig mural in the hallway of a Bel Air residence.

It was done completely in Old World style, featuring an Italian landscape, trees, cypresses, lemons, grapes and flowers.

The background is like a faux finish, sublte colors and fading.  It reminds of the Da Vinci times when the world was calmer and more relaxed.

Sleeping Angel- Detail of a very Romantic Mural

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

The sleeping angel is part of a very romantic mural featuring one of greatest  European ballerinas.

Inmidst a French old world landscape the angel has no intentions, no interference – it is pure - it is a forgotten part of a world which was full of detail, romance and love.

If I could go back in time I would go back when life was easier and you could find the love for details everywhere. If you see the Ballerina  on my website you will understand…

French Design Ceiling

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
French Design on a 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.

Faux Finishes for any rooms

Faux finish with ornamental drawings

Faux Finishes are not out!
If you might have thought that this traditional wall finish is not trendy any more, you must know that it is still an option to bring life into your home.
I have done many faux finishes in homes which were completely white.  All the walls. The hallway, the bathrooms – white, white, white with no contrast at all.  

For a mansion in Bel Air I faux finishes these 3 niches in the hallway and added French style ornamental drawings inside.

Antique Scroll on hand painted papyrus

Antique scroll  Mural

Antique scroll Mural

This is a hand painted antique scroll on papyrus. The paper is not real paper,  I faux finished the texture, so it is all painted! My client gave me some quotes she liked which were rounding up the whole mural.

The mural is in the entry way on a wall which connects kitchen and living room.

My home is my castle – Old World Mural Pacific Palisades

Hallway Old World Mural
Hallway Old World Mural

Beautiful Old World style Mural for an entryway in private residence of Pacific Palisades.

First I did a faux finish, then added the pomegranate tree and finally the vines with two humming birds.

The entry way corner is now the focal point of the whole downstairs area. The mural is enhancing the space and created some old world charme.
