Many years ago, the word "faux" (meaning "fake" in French) was reserved for anything that mimicked a natural element, such as marble or wood grain. Now, with the popularity of all types of decorative paint finishes, decorative painters have adopted the word faux as an umbrella term for glazing, marbling, subtractive sponging, color wash, combing, rag rolling, and actual faux finishes.
Venetian Plaster This finish can range in sheen and texture from a smooth highly polished marble-like finish to a distressed, stone-like Tuscan appearance. Using actual ground limestone and marble dust in a lime putty, walls can have the authentic feel of stone. Our trained artisans can apply this special plaster in an infinite number of color combinations to coordinate and enhance your décor. Some clients imagine an intimate, old-world atmosphere and others prefer contemporary elegance.
Faux Finishes These finishes are the hottest thing in wall covering since pre-mixed paint in a can. Instead of flat painted linen white, choices can include a soft-sponge cloudy texture in sage greens, or crisp wide stripes in neutral tones, or a scholarly stippling finish in leather browns. The choices are endless and the results can be beautiful when done right. Here are some of the key choices you'll need to make to ensure a great result.
What is Faux Finishing?
Faux finishing techniques have been used to distress, age, and transform surfaces and objects and to simulate materials such as stone, marble and wood. These ancient styles have become tremendously popular in the past two to three years. New and modern materials, tools and techniques are making the ancient art of faux finishing available to many. This historic craft dramatically enhances rooms with endless possibilities - possibilities that might include finishes that show depth, dimension and texture. Transform ordinary walls into elegant works of interior art.
Old world European Finishes These finishes include antique crackles, peeled paint, distressed plaster, antiquing and patina.
These spectacular finishes can be applied to any surface including kitchen cabinets, tables and chairs, moulding, vanities, armoires and custom built-in cabinetry.
Trompe L'oeil Translated from French, Trompe L'oeil means "fool the eye" and grisaille is a painting technique using subtle gradations of color to create a three-dimensional object. This style of painting has been around for centuries and encompasses elements of light and shadow, perspective and subtle gradations of color to create a three-dimensional illusion.
