Prospective clients, architects, builders and interior designers may preview my portfolio here. As a Certified Professioanl Faux Finisher, my work is custom, with attention to detail and designed for each clients vision. My base location is in Northern Virginia, but I will work within the US. A wide range of finishes are offered, from authentic Italian Lime Venetian Plasters, Marmorino's, Veneciano's, and Old World Fresco finishes, to high-end marbling in Venetian Plaster, and shimmering metallic plasters. They are rendered with craftsmanship, and artistic style.

Updating a kitchen with new cabinets is extremely expensive. A great decorative painting finish, is a cost effective investment alternative to refacing cabinets or replacing cabinets. You can dramatically upgrade your current kitchen with a designer custom decorative painting, or faux finish for about half the cost of refacing.

Many installed but outdated kitchen cabinetry is higher construction grade quality than what is available to replace it with today.
