This master bathroom transitioned from naked walls to covered with murals inspired by the Victorian artist Alma-Tadema.

Our "Venetian" powder room took a few weeks to complete. Wainscoting and chair rail are a painted illusion.  All the trim in the room was glazed to match the vanity.

This illustrates the difference glazing on top of a mural can make.  Our chinoiserie mural wrapped around the entire room.  The client and designer wanted walls that were quiet enough to be able to hang things on, but still made a statement on their own.  The wainscoting and crown molding are glazed and gilded.

For a large entrance foyer, we designed a pair of murals to serve as backdrops behind a pair of statues.  Here is our original sketch, and shots of the job in progress.

A master bathroom ceiling looked pretty naked until we dressed it up by painting a faux marble background, trompe l'oeil egg and dart molding and Indian style gold ornaments in its panels.

A tented ceiling painted in this master bedroom made a dramatic change.  The room felt much more complete when we were finished.   This project was inspired by the client's vacation picture of a ceiling from a grand house in Newport, Rhode Island.

Before, after and in progress pictures of a trompe l'oeil window painted in a stairway.  The space has a much more open feeling with the window in place.

The walls in this powder room were treated with metallic golden Lusterstone, with raised designs placed randomly about the room.  The crown molding was embellished with glaze and aluminum leaf.

Murals make a huge difference in the way an environment feels.  In this room, we created the feeling of a vast space, by painting a stone terrace that extends out from the real stone floor and distant landscape in the background.
