The Palaz Gilbert home

This week we returned to the Palaz home in Gilbert. They had painted a red accent wall and wanted it toned down. We ran a black glaze over it and gave it kind of a smokey look. I didn't take pictures of it because it is so subtle you wouldn't be able to see the faux in pictures. We have done this look a couple of times and people seem to love it. I did grab some shots of the work we had previously done to share with you. You get better pictures when the glaze had dried and the sheen has lessened. We are off to Scottsdale to do a column project next week.

Soft watermark faux at The Boulders

We returned to the Tully home at The Boulders in Scottsdale to do a ceiling, a coffer that separates the kitchen from the den, and a den wall. All done in a soft mushroom glaze watermark type of faux. Not spectacular in pictures but a very nice treatment when you are doing large areas and just want some movement and some color. We get a lot of requests for this type of faux. The last picture is something we did a while back. It's still stunning to come back and see.

We are back to the boulders this week to do a kitchen ceiling. Pictures to come!

Patton Tempe home fireplace.

We finished up our project at the Patton home in Tempe. The new home owner wanted his fireplace restored after the previous owner painted it out. We not only restored it but made sure the color matched the new flooring. Here are some before, during, and after pictures.

Scottsdale Metallic Ceiling

We hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th! We are just back from visiting family in Utah so we are behind on our blog. Right before the holiday break we did a metallic ceiling at a home is Scottsdale. Metallic faux is hard to photograph due to the shinny finish but it turned out beautiful. There is a lot going on with different shades of gold.

Back to work

Well you can't keep a good woman down. Kerri has spent most of month resting her shoulder and participating in her many hobbies. We start back to work on Monday with a project in Scottsdale. This is going to be a metallic ceiling. The challenge is it is broken into four sections. Each section will have to compliment the other. Looking forward to sharing the pictures of this.

On injured reserve

Kerri, with faux projects several weeks in a row and some massive landscaping, has pulled up lame. She has strained the muscle in her right shoulder. So we are taking some healing and much needed time off. We are still going on appointments for future projects. So don't hesitate to call.
