Hi! I am very excited to tell you that I have moved back to Pennsylvania!
Moving BACK to Pennsylvania may come as a surprise to those of you who never knew I left, but I did - two years ago, to Martinsburg, WV. Since then, I've been driving up and down I-81 weekly, and sometimes daily, in order to keep my business alive and well in the Greater Harrisburg area. I'm very lucky to have friends and family in Southcentral PA who have put up with me invading their homes and taking up space during the week -- a huge THANK YOU to all of you - my kids, my parents, great friends...without your welcoming spirit it would have been really difficult for The Artistic Advantage to prosper and grow these past two years.
But now I don't have to live out of a suitcase anymore! My new address is 9 Edgewater Drive, Middletown, PA 17057 and the location is wonderful - a beautiful, quiet townhouse community right up a slope from the Swatara Creek. I have a "waterfront property" -- even if the water is a creek rather than a lake or bay! And since I find the sound of flowing water to be very relaxing and therapeutic, there will be many-a-summer evening when you'll be able to find me "down by the creek" just taking it all in.
Phone numbers remain the same 717-471-6519 (cell) and 717-541-0040 (studio).
Being back in PA will enable me to be more available to you, my clients, get samples completed more quickly, and consultation times will be more flexible. I thank you, clients and friends, for your business and your loyalty, and look forward to getting to know more of you in 2010. Please send me an email or call to arrange a time to meet with me regarding faux finishing and decorative painting, murals, home staging and interior re-design.
The Artistic Advantage is also available for newsletter and brochure design, both through email or print.
Don' t stop reading here! Please continue down the page to VOTE and view the E-Magazine!!!!
Cheers! 
Sue

Dressing Up the Laundry...
This laundry needed a complete re-design. After renovating the counters with granite, the floor with tile and having a tile backsplash installed, it was time to get rid of the out-dated sowallpaper and replace with an eye-pleasing, stone-look plaster finish. after

Quite a difference. Completely opened up the room and it's now light and bright! The finish is a four layer process done with Sandstone and Plastertex plasters.
