Before: Plain walls with little panache.
 
After:  French Country mural elements, strategically handpainted over a backsplash of faux tiles with colorwashed walls to reflect client's love of France, French food and Provençal living. Makes one want to linger over a cafe´ au lait or pour a glass of Bordeaux with chocolates and contemplate life's little pleasures.

Before: Solid color with no added interest. The turret provided a decorating challenge.

 

After: Handpainted ribbons flow from top of turret down to walls to coordinate with curtain fabric, wall color, decor and add visual interest for this unusual space.

Before: Unfinished space for St. Stephens St. Agnes School's new Meditation & Prayer Room.

 

After: Appropriate handpainted, three color metallic quote is 14 feet above the floor and is 36 feet long. It along with the trompe l'oeil cross, above the entry, enhance contemplative reflection.

Before:  Kitchen with dark wood cabinets and busy wallpaper.

 

After:  Removing wallpaper, painting cabinets, and the walls with a custom wisteria vine to fit the space, not only updates, lightens, and freshens the kitchen but personalizes it. The lovely garden is brought indoors, year round.

Before: A beautifully styled Swedish garden room...
 
After:  Now has even more luster with a handpainted quote in gold, outlined in bronze. The quote compliments the colors of this garden room by being perfectly suited to the subtle hues and luminescent nature of Swedish style. This Voltaire quote personalizes the space and symbolically reflects the client's love of gardening and of life.

Before: Wallpaper is torn and needs repair. These flaws detract from an otherwise beautiful dining room.

 

After: Seamless repair is achieved through handpainting with careful attention to detail and masterful matching of color and pattern. This is the perfect solution for when wallpaper already enhances the room but has minor damage and is discontinued. A little painting makes a big difference and now the flaws disappear.
