Trompe L'oeil:

A French phrase meaning "fool the eye". I pronounce it "trum ploy". This is a technique using shadows to render architectural moldings and decorative ornaments. See examples of work on portfolio page. Elegant, formal, and fun. Trompe L'oeil will take your room from boring to stunning.

Wood graining

Makes any surface look like wood. Examples in portfolio include a flat metal safety door painted to look like a mahoghany-paneled door and a crown molding wood grained to match existing cabinets. Both of these projects demonstrate how wood graining can be practical as well as a purely aesthetic choice.

Wall finishes

We start with environmentally friendly water-based glazes and custom mix every color finding that elusive color or subtle hue that compliments your existing decor. A transparent glaze adds a personal statement to your surroundings with color, depth, visual texture, and charm. Whether a bold stucco, or a subtle weathered plaster look is needed, adding texture to walls is always a satisfying choice.

marbleizing

Makes any surface look like marble. Any painted surface can look like marbled and the technique offers a practical solution as well as a historic dimension to your decor.
