Louisville faux- Green table and chairs.

Green table and chairs that pair well with the green coffee table from a previous blog. When painting with bold colors such as green, it's a must to keep the paint application clean and controlled. I also included details of a commissioned mixed media piece hanging on a nearby wall.

Louisville Faux- Befores, Afters, and Pineapples.






 




This summer I had the pleasure of working in one of the most magnificent homes in Prospect, Kentucky. The project took about two months to complete. It involved painting a couple of areas that needed a simple color change and pinstripe glazing all of the crown moulding, baseboards, cabinets, and doors. I also hand painted some resin grey pineapples which were brought to life to better their welcoming purpose in the home.

Louisville Faux-Hand painted stone.



This outdoor patio is so charming and inviting. But the stone lacked definition and range of color. And the smooth flagstone toppers were a bit on the taupe side of the color wheel. Deep greys, golds, and browns were added to balance both stones, and bring out the great masonry work. Beige highlights were added to finalize the look. Top of the line exterior paints were used to withstand mother nature.
