French Design 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 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

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.

Faux finishes create an incredible difference

What do you do when everything in your home had been painted white?  There is no contrast, it looks sterile and needs some color.  Faux finish the reiling and give it an espresso brown wooden look as I did in a home in Granada Hills.

What do you do when the bathroom is long and small as the one I did the mural for?
First a Faux Finish will add a warm touch to the whole room.  Then I painted a Niche Mural which was adding dimension and more brightness into the small bathroom. The stencil border makes the whole design complete.
