Greetings!
Some of my finest summer relaxation comes from sitting with a good book. Escaping into the pages of a captivating read allows me to become centered and even more in tune for creativity. Our summer newsletter provides a quick getaway, complete with a walk down Bourbon Street and even Concrete Carpet. Who knew?
If the current heat wave is getting the best of you, we invite you to get cooled off by seeing and touching some our new finishes adorning walls thoughout our area. Drop us a line.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: The Big Easy In New York
We recently spent eight weeks transforming our client's basement with more than 1,300 square feet into a quintessential scene straight from the French Quarter (see a virtual walk through here). Just a warning, this space will have you craving a beignet from Cafe DuMonde!
BEFORE | The idea started with the homeowner. A professional home builder, he
installed reinforced steel beams along the ceiling to clear the basement of all load-bearing posts. A commercial size bar (25' x 10') was commissioned and built to be the focal point and inspiration for the remainder of the area.
Once the 'bones' of the space were in place, Faux Time Design began working with the homeowner to select unique textural finishes and lighting effects that create the weathered look of downtown Bourbon Street.
AFTER |
The homeowners are now surrounded by some of our finest designer finishes including, crumbled plaster walls with exposed stones, a sky mural on the ceiling with a 'surprise' night time scene (illuminated with strategically placed black lights), a riveted metal finish (created with plasters and metallic paints), and even our classic distressed leather finish. It is topped off with a three dimensional mural of historic Hotel Embers including authentic cast iron railings and distressed molding.
Hold onto your beads, there is more to see! Click here for a video walk through of the entire space. |
