I have worked on many different projects using custom faux finishing including rag rolling and sponging. My specialty is stone (particularly travertine any color) and wood grain (koa). I have worked on walls, columns, molding, shelves and ceilings. If the client desires, I add medallions with glass beads or other specialty effects.

The client originally had three columns that were faux finished with a soft melon wash and we decided to match them to a stone mosaic in the center of the floor by changing the finish to a warm travertine. The rings of the columns match the warm green/gray floor. |

The clients were interested in giving their guest powder room a soft elegant atmosphere. Using many layers of various taupes and a soft green I accomplished the desired effect. I added a soft metallic green for movement in the room. |

Hawaii Kai, Vase Shelf.
3’ x 2’. The client wanted to continue the travertine from the columns throughout the house. So we worked together to match the faux finishes. |

Hawaii Kai, Guest powder room Tromploie
The client wanted her powder room to be special so we designed a 3 layer eucalyptus faux finish and added a Tromploie valence around the top of the walls with orchids hanging over the sides. I must have done a good job, as when I was starting to slip I reached for the valence (which isn’t actually there). |
