Specialty Faux Finishes

Faux finishes are the contempory answer to wallpaper with my added advantages. With a painted finish you can color match any decorating scheme and create visual texture and drame. When you are tired of the finish, or want to change your decor, you simply paint over it instead of spending hours of time and patience tearing wallpaper down. Some of the most beautiful faux finishes are soft and suttle. Due to their nature, they are beautiful qualities are hard to see in photos, and are much more appreciated in person. Faux finishes really do add that "finishing touch" and unique quality and texture to plain ordinary white walls.
