Kitchen gets a facelift!

This kitchen just didn't fit into the modern, minimalist Aventura home that my clients had created for themselves.

So we updated their look, by bonding and spraying an Italian lacquer white finish on the door fronts, hand painting the casings, and door backs and respraying the handles.

Furniture (turning gold to silver)

This table was a beautiful piece when it was gold, but just didn't go with the rest of the decor in my clients home.

No worries, changing the gold to silver, and darkening the tone of the wood, now it fits right in!

Floors

This wood floor was lightly sanded and a stain to lift the original color was applied. Then a diamond pattern was added in a distressed oil finish and three coats of varnish to top it off. Click to enlarge:

Cabinets

These cabinets were hand painted to decorate a lovely ladies sitting room. Click to enlarge:

Kids Rooms

This brother sister team couldn't have wanted two things that were more different. Little boys love surfing penguins, and this particular young lady likes horses and butterflies.

Custom Artwork

To mural or not to mural... this is the question. Well the answer here was not to mural but to create a custom 10' x 10' canvas where a mural would have been. This solves the problem of scaffolding in the house for two weeks, and also provides options for moving the piece at a future date if the client moves, or just wants to change the look of the room. This Venetian theme was created in two weeks and 20 minutes was spent in the home measuring and installing. = a happy client!
