Mimi's master bath.

This bath had all stock white cabinets. The homeowner loves color and wanted to create a vibrant personal space with the warmth of red-on-red.

Sautee Mural Details

Sautee Mural

Mural for a difficult space...






















Background is fauxed for a stucco effect so that homeowner can change color of walls without creating any awkward divisions. Mural is painted in acrylics and sealed with a satin finish.

Orchid Cabinet/Pantry

65"H x 18" D x 38" W. 2 doors, 2 drawers, four stationary shelves.

A contemporary addition to a rustic or elegant country home, this cabinet is one-of-a-kind, designed to coordinate with the owner's decor in shades of soft gray and off-white.

Soft Faux Finish in a natural palette

Four color glaze treatment in large Timberframe house. Owners wanted a subtle yet dramatic look that would compliment the color of the beams. Note how the color deepens at the edges of each panel.

This helps to soften the walls, giving the illusion of depth of surface and contrasting with the hard angles of the steep roof. The result is comfortable and warm without being overpowering.

Painted "stone" foundation with little embellishments...

This is a cement foundation which the owners wanted painted to mimic stone blocks. They allowed me to add a few little surprise embellishments from the natural
world to break up the monotony. The tax assessor actually raised their property
taxes because he said the painted walls added "unique value" to the house... They couldn't decide if they were pleased with his reasoning or not... ;-) The two upper photos are the before and after.

Before

Some fun detailing... a toad and a fat bumblebee

Painted finish in a small powder room

This finish began with a deep brown base overlaid with brilliant glazes of red and just a touch of copper (iridescent metallic), and a hint of green to pick up the glaze colors of the custom ceramic sink.
