Lake Como Mural Brentwood

This mural is at the end of a long and small hallway, and adds depth and dimension to the hallway space. A Trompe L’Oeil mural is the best for small spaces. It creates additional space to small rooms or hallways.

How to Change Garage Doors into a Beach

It’s not that difficult to transform garage doors into a beach mural. It was the dream of my client since 25 years to get the two garage doors done so she could look at a beach instead of a white wall from her bedroom. Finally she contacted me and within days the garage doors were turned into a beautiful beach landscape with palm trees, beach chairs and shells.

Commercial Mural – a real Trompe L’Oeil

Courtroom Mural

This is the lobby of the company Personal Court Reporters in Van Nuys, greater Los Angeles.
Do you ask yourself if the connecting door to the old court room is real or not?
The old court room is after the court room of the “Whaley House”  in San Diego - the authentic haunted house of the USA.

How to refinish the hallway railing

Faux Finish for Hallway Railings

Is your home all white? In the 70s it was very trendy to paint everyting in the house white – the walls, the bathrooms, the railings, the windows – just everything.

I figured it is a lack of contrast, right? So where do you start in changing it?  Sure you can paint the walls and the trims. But what about the railings and doors and windows?

I was hired to refinish the hallway railing in a “white house” and suggested an espresso brown for the railing.

First you would sand the wood and paint it with a primer. When it is dry you add the first color:  a chocolate brown. Let it dry. Mix the glaze, it needs to be one tone darker. Add the glaze and let it dry. Mix another glaze and add some water to it, it should not be very thick.  Use the glaze until all white spots are gone but the wooden  structure would shine through. Finally seal it.  Does this sound complicated? I hope not. You always have the chance to contact me, in case you have a “white house” and need some contrast. Happy painting.

Beach Mural for Kids

Beach Mural

This beautiful pastell colored beach mural was done for  a cute little girl.

It was going around all four walls and has an umbrella, a sand castle, a surf board and palm trees.

Isn’t it charming? A beach mural is very fun for children and a very cute theme. It can be combined with almost every furniture color.

Pomme granate tree
Pomegranate tree

This pomegranate tree is part of  a big 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, subtle colors and fading.  It reminds of the Da Vinci times when the world was calmer and more relaxed.
