Dining Room Makeover

I removed the dated wallpaper from my client's dining room walls. Adjacent to this room is a kitchen with slate tiles and deep mustard walls. In keeping with the warmth of the kitchen, I suggested texturing the dining room walls and glazing them in a gold several shades lighter than the kitchen walls. The finished dining room is warm. The texture is soft and pleasing to the eye--not at all busy like the wallpaper. And close examination reveals a very interesting, soft, yet complex texture.

"We love it!"

Versiplast Fireplace Makeover

...I created a delicately-colored Old World texture over the existing grey-tiled face and floor of a master bedroom fireplace, and painting and softly antiquing the wooden mantle and surround to fit my client's French country decor.

"Working with her was a pleasure from start to (faux) finish! Her craftsmanship is outstanding and the finished product beyond what I had envisioned. Our fireplace belongs in a countryside cottage in the south of France..." S.H., Delmar, Albany County.

Regarding the Kitchen Makeover...

Where I painted the all white walls with a beautiful shade of green, and made the 23' backsplash pop with a colorful, but easy on the eye faux tile finish in shades of green and plum.

"We were very pleased with the results from the backsplash you faux painted for us. You were great assisting us with picking colors that matched our exisiting color scheme and decor. We would certainly recommend you to anyone considering having painting done. You did a terrific job for us." S.J., Glenmont, Albany County
