Louisville Faux- Furniture.

 

 

Before this bench was repurposed it was a light cherry and did not stand out too much in front of the burled, deep cherry bed with a chevron pattern. Because the bed was so beautiful, I opted to not finish it. (one of those situations where the 'before' would remain better than any 'after') Adjacent to this bench is a very large tv table/dresser that is in the same finish. Pics to follow as we wait for drawer pulls and granite top.-Sanded and stained black to an opaque finish followed with crème and liquid gold leaf.

 

 

Louisville Faux- Shadowbox before and after.

 

New client requested a rustic colorwash in her custom kitchen. It was nice to work against the dark stained trim. And because of the shadowbox effect, the faux finish has subtle changes in color according to where you are in the room and how much natural and/or artificial light is present. Much more to come from this beautiful home.

Louisville Faux- Cabinet and Mirror.

Nine years have gone by since I first worked for this wonderful client. Much has changed since then, but new pieces were needed. Some items just desired a little shift in color change. These photos are a few examples.

The buffet table was already custom painted in the gorgeous grey wash but lacked deep focal points. Deep glaze brought out more dimension. Metallics were added to the trim and door knobs for balance and to work cohesively with the crackled, hand-painted mirror above.

Louisville Faux- Sneak Peak.

 

Sneak peak of the Ovation VIP Lounge at the Louisville Palace. Much more to come. The rustic, concrete-like finish is both hand painted and applied texture, and will make a great backdrop for the art pieces that will follow.

 

 

Louisville Faux- Harlequin. Before and after.

Hand-painted harlequin (diamond) pattern on kitchen back splash. Black onyx and gold leaf. And proof that you do use math as an adult.
