Refinishing Wood

Detail view of a wooden column with carvings which I refinished. The wooden columns were weathered and the paint was faded to a minimum, so the original hand painted look was completely gone before I was asked to refinish them.

Backyard Mural

The mural was done after the painting “The Singing Waiter” by British painter Jack Vettriano. It is located in Studio City in a beautiful entertainer’s backyard with a bar, swimming pool and fountains.

Looks like Hand painted Wall paper

Gold metallic background  with hand painted ornamental painting of chinoserie style.
The wall behind headboards in the bedrooms stays mostly empty because of lacking artwork. It does not have to be that way.  The picture below shows some detail of a mural I did behind the headboard in chinoise style. That is a style where art is hand painted on silky wall paper. In this case I painted the wall first with a golden paint and afterwards hand painted some flowers with birds in the colors of the bedding.

Lake Como Mural

Lake Como is a picturesque lake in the North of Italy, very close to the Swiss border, and surrounded by mountains. It is also the home of the famous actor George Cloney. The mural was done for a residence in famous Brentwood of Los Angeles. The house you see in the mural is the home of my clients.

Sky Mural with Parrot

The upper part of the wall is the continuation of a tropical wall mural on the adjacent wall. I painted  a parrot and some top leaves of palm trees which are complementing the other mural nicely.

Hand Painted Faux Papyrus Scroll

Hand painted scroll (it is not paper); the scroll is painted, the iron rod too. The trompe l’oeil mural is in a hallway;
the quote was chosen by my client. The entire hallway was first painted in a very light and subtle faux finish, an ideal background for the papyrus scroll.

Moroccan Door Restoration

This door was kept outdoors on a wall in the backyard, and after all the years the paint chipped and the colors faded. I was asked to restore the door. It was done in several steps: First the sanding which was quite some job. Then using a primer, a base wash then the paint itself and as last step an out-door sealer. This can be done with any out-door furniture or door. Need an estimate? Send an email.

Hand painted Kitchen Floor

Floor Mural

hand painted wooden kitchen floor

Ornamental Painting on a wooden floor all around the room; here a kitchen in Country style.

The paint is durable, and will not come off  during floor cleaning. Good sealing of the painting will prevent this.

The original floor was an old oak parquet floor which did not match the overall style of the home.
To paint the floor was a good solution. Everything is possible.
