- Tuscany Mural
This beautiful mural was done for a showroom in a furniture store in the basement . There were no windows and the Tuscan Mural brought some light and life to the space.
Basically every room which is dark, has only small windows or is too small can be lightened up with a mural.
The faux finished arch and the balcony create extra space which make you feel steping out.
You don’t need to be an Italy fan for such a mural. It can be done in less than 2 weeks and will cost you $2700. What a deal for a daily view!

- Pomme granate tree
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.

- playing Children
Playing Kids is a mural we did out-doors. The kids are in life-size as well as the dog and the cat.
Our client wanted his own kids painted on the walls as an everlasting memory.
This mural is in Switzerland and I remember very well when we did it: It was in April and it was still very cold.

This table is a Must See indeed!
I restored this table made out of solid wood and decided to give it a very special look. I chose the legendary and beautiful French Fleur den Lyss symbol and hand painted it in the middle of the table.
The table has 2 extension leaves.

- Bird’s Nest
This cute bird’s nest is in the guestroom of a private home in Pacific Palisades.
It would look nice in a children’s bedroom, a nursery or a bathroom.
The nest is surrounded by white flowers which are growing down the door frame.
The bedroom is decorated in French Country Style and the bird’s nest is just adding a romantic touch to the overall design.

You can do a little drawing or use your painting computer programs such as Photoshop. I always take a picture of the blank wall and copy and paste the mural elements into the photograph. For the tropical mural I took some elements of the photo and combined them with other ideas like hibiscus flowers, tropical plants and so on.
I will show you a detailled draft in my next article.
Step 3
Paint the mural
If the mural needs a light coating you would do this first. For the tropical landscape I used a white surface because of the different colors (sky and forest)
Then you do the outlines; I use charcoal – I would not recommend pencil or any other paint.
Fill in hte background colors for the sky and forest, so a foliage green and sky blue which I . Use light colors and systematically add the details. You can do them freehand or project them. For this mural I used the projector only for the plant named bird of paradise in the right corner.
Step 4
The mural’s details would be added at the end, some highlights, deeper tones and little lines here and there. It has to come alive.
After it was finished I sealed the mural with a matt finish to protect it from moisture.

- 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.
