Painting
St. Louis area homeowners are discovering a whole new world of possibilities for interior wall treatments. Faux Finishing continues to be a hot trend in interior decorating. It's all about using paint, stains, glaze and similar products to create the illusion of luxurious materials like fine grained wood, antiqued finishes, natural stone and other surfaces. These centuries-old techniques are now providing stunning results in giving new life to ordinary kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, fireplace surrounds, built-ins, staircases, wainscoting, wood paneling, baseboards and trim.
In the hands of a painter skilled in faux finishing techniques, a homeowner can imbue a home with new character, personality, charm and a truly distinctive appearance. Unlike painting with solid color, faux finishing is an artistic process that brings a whole new look and richness to painted surfaces. And the look is complemented by adding crown molding, cornices, decorative footings and hardware.
