Floral Stencil on a Velvet Designer Wall Finish

Subtle floral decorative Art on a ceiling

If you cannot feel this wall finish, you miss the whole effect. It is a special wall finish, almost like Plaster, which feels like velvet. It looks a bit like Venetian Plaster, a bit shiny because it will be applied with a trowel. The wall needs to be ultra smooth, and 2 special coats create this unique finish.

My client wanted a floral stencil added in all four corner of the dining room ceiling. It looks very sophisticated, this ceiling mural. Want a similiar finish? Call 818-470 2932.

How to make more out of a bathroom

Bathroom Faux finishes

It was my peasure to help my client to complete the bathroom in her charming Pasadena home.

For the walls and ceiling we were chosing a faux finish of French Country style – a style which was dominating the whole home. It could be seen in the custom tiles, the cabinets and sinks.
I faux finished the doors and window frames in using first a dark brown as base coat, then a glaze mixed out of the actual wall color with some brown. At the end I distressed the wood and used some brown for the edges and lines.

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 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.

How to make a bathroom look bigger

Mural Niche with orchids

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.
