Faux House/Trompe l’Oeil

The House That Faux Built, 2006, Arlington, Virginia

This faux house project has received nation-wide publicity, showcasing the work of over 100 highly acclaimed artisans. The public viewing of the show house was in May – June 2006 in Arlington, VA. The project is the subject of a book, showing before and after transformations and were featured on HGTV. Proceeds benefited New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina relief efforts through Habitat for Humanity. (My work was in the “Romantic Bedroom”.) You can go to fauxhouse.com to learn more and click this post link to see more pictures and the complete project.
