Old World Broken Walls Exposing Bricks

Below is the before photo. We are transforming this breakfast nook into realistic-looking ruins

like those in Greece and Italy! Above shows real heavy textured plaster walls with bricks carved

into it randomly. White rectangle to the left it where we'll paint in a old rustic window. Underneath

you see white broken walls exposing a sky. We still have to faux finish the white broken walls, and

we're painting a Hawk landing on a branch.

Here I sketched the mural of the fairy, unicorn, castles.

I started painting from the top, the sky. Then I painted the castles and the trees. Next, the lake and reflections.

Tomorrow I'll finish the unicorn, fairies and soften the edges.

Here we have a blank wall the we will transform into a baby girls' room that will be born in May.

First, the ribbon line was chalked in and the bows drawn in. The lower half is painted a plum mocha color, upper half is painted a periwinkle lavender color. The ribbon is free-handed and shaded with five different colors. The area in the middle is smoothed out with wall joint compound to prepare for a fairy mural still to come!

The smoothed out area was primered and painted, ready for the mural.

Fireplace walls are focal points in a room and with the right touch, can transform an entire room! We did just that with this one. Above is the fireplace before.

We built a new mantle out of very charactered, rustic wood, and stained it. Then, faux finished the niche and painted the surrounding wall.

We covered the white tile with a stone product that we trowelled on and stained with several colors.

I painted some heiroglyphics on the stone above of horses and riders.

Here is the finished product. It turned out fabulous! The clients, Cheryl and Todd are very pleased, and want more work done now. They enjoy sitting in front of their brand new fireplace every day!

We transformed this entertainment center from white to antique leather. The clients love it, and tell us that all their friends love it too. This is one of our more popular finishes.

We also faux finished their kitchen ceiling and painted a copper metallic finish with antiquing.

Well, we had a request from a client for a hand-painted Serenity Prayer Mural for her husband on the bedroom wall for Christmas. What an exciting project! This well-known, beautiful saying apparently has very special meaning to him, and they recite it together EVERY night! Wow! We can all learn from that! After deciding where to paint it, we decided on brown to match the bedroom. It took us 10 hours but we completed it, and it came out fabulous! Her husband was instructed to stay out of the bedroom, however their German Shepherd kept pushing the door open out of curiosity, and we had to go and shut the door constantly, it was so funny! We had a great time painting and listened to Christmas music. After we completed the mural and cleaned up, the client brought her husband in with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes in front of the mural, his mouth just dropped and he was so excited! Then he played with the dimmer switch for the two spotlights as you can see in the photos below. I hope we get alot more projects like this one, especially seeing their faces light up! The feeling is indescribable!
