PAINT COLOR CONSULTING - If you have just purchased a new home you know how nerve racking it can be choosing paint colors.  Perhaps you are just doing a remodel and want to add new color to your home.  Wall color is the most important backdrop for the rest of your decorating.  Heather calls it the "first layer" of your canvas.  She even encourages her clients to paint their ceilings.  Heather's Paint Color Consulting service will help you make all of these decisions in a two-three hour consultation.

STENCILLING - At Faux Finish By Design, stencils are created and hand-cut by the artists so that they are totally unique.  Heather specializes in Damask stencilling which is a repetetive stencil design that is done over a ragged or colorwashed wall.  The design is then embellished with hand painted brush strokes and aged for an old world look.

 

MURALS -  Everything from simple hand-painted borders to full wall murals.  Small paintings can also be reproduced in mural size and painted either directly on the wall or painted on canvas and transferred to a wall.

TROMPE L'OEIL - Meaning "Trick the Eye".  This type of painting is used to create a special illusion such as a faux window or door opening out over a Tuscan scene.  Trompe L'oeil can be done on walls and furniture.

MOSAIC TILING - Custom tiled back splashes, table tops, chairs, vases, outdoor furniture, etc.  Any surface can be given a beautiful, eclectic look with Heather's one-of-a-kind creations using broken tiles and glass gems.

FURNITURE - Turn any piece of furniture into a work of art!  Heather can transform new furniture to look old (distressed/antiqued) and old furniture to look new with her creative touches.   Finishes include:  milk painting, wood graining, distressing, antiquing, marblizing, colorful hand painted designs; oxidized copper, bronze, gold or silver, lime wash, leafing, etc.  Purchase unfinished furniture from stores like Haywood's and Heather will work her magic on it.

CHILDREN'S ROOMS - Heather can transform any child's room or nursery into a fantasy world.  Choose any theme and she'll paint the walls, furniture, accessories, etc. to match, or, let Heather design a one-of-a-kind interactive mural that can also be used as a teaching resource for your toddler.  You can spend literally thousands of dollars buying hand painted furniture from places like "Dream Kids" or "Bellini", or, you can commission Heather to re-paint your existing furniture for a fraction of the cost.  The sky's the limit!
