A Big Surprise was in store for Erika when she arrived home from school and discovered a new room design!  This geometric, funky design is a great look for young teens...always good to find a look that will grow with them until they leave for college!
Thank you to Cindy and Erika!

The picture to the left shows an uneven texture created by another faux finisher. The homeowner was not happy with this look and asked Melissa to fix it. She had seen faux finishing work that we did in another home and said she realized then that her faux finish wasn't right!  We then realized it was important to educate our customers on what a faux finish should NOT look like. Unfortunately, not all faux finishes are this easily fixed but this one required one more layer of glaze and the walls were beautiful again! Just remember that faux finishes are not supposed to be 'splotchy' but rather a nice uniform layer of paint to create texture. The customer said that 'she could not believe how much more beautiful her kitchen was and didn't expect the extra layer to make so much of a difference.'   Always know that we use only professional quality faux finishng products and Melissa has 10 years of experience in faux finishing! She specializes in glazes, faux tile backsplashes, faux marble, faux woodgraining, faux wallpaper, kitchen cabinet makeovers, etc....

Dear Jim and Melissa,
Christina and I are thrilled with the work you did in our foyer, powder room, living room, dining room and basement.  The faux finish in our powder room, living room and dining room is the envy of everyone who visits.  Chris wondered after you finished how we lived with white walls in those rooms for 2+ years!  Jim was very prompt and professional and even touched up a number of other walls that had some chips and dings. Our daughters, Hannah and Ceci love the basement mural Melissa did and use the magnetic walls to hang pictures and funny sayings.  A number of their friends have already signed the picket fence you painted.
Thank you very much for the great work you do.  We will have you back soon!
Sincerely,
Christina and Bob Markley
