Louisville faux- Suede faux finish.

Beige is the most popular neutral paint color for walls. Even more popular when faux finish is applied. This technique works well with beiges because these tones and textures are found in nature.

Louisville faux- Master bathroom addition.





In my line of work, as with most in-home customer service/contractor positions, clients range from the most unruly to the most amazing. While in the clutches of the impossible, I go to a happy place and remind myself how blessed I am to meet some of the most intriging folks walking the planet. This bathroom belongs to such a couple.

Louisville faux- Rustic mantle.




Don't stress over a boring white mantle. Paint it. Better yet, let ME paint it. This previously white mantle conflicted with the deep, rustic tones in the wall paint and granite surround. Now the fireplace is a striking viewpoint in the room.

Louisville faux- Sample boards.



Sample boards back up your work. But you must be very protective of them. A potential client can show the sample to another contractor who might be bidding at a lower price. Protect your work. Only a few know how I keep my techniques and colors under wraps.
This sample board will soon be used in a grand dining room. I trust the repeat client so I have no problem leaving the sample with them. It helps the client choose fabrics and other designs with ease if they have the decorative wall finish on hand. And what better way to back up your work than with the finished product right in front of you.

Louisville faux- dining room ceiling.

This trey ceiling started out white. Then base painted in beige. Fauxed with cooper/bronze with gold highlights. I always paint and faux the can lighting as well. I don't like the white to distract from the finish on the ceiling.
