Dining Room:
I'm super excited for tomorrow! I'll be adding a motif on the ceiling! There is green tile in the entrance way, so I'm going to tie it in the dining room. Let's hope for the best!
Cherry Blossoms: Day 3
This is a work in progress, for sure! Once I get the dining room done, I'll make my final decision on how I want to finish this off.

Painted Stripes
Stenciled and Fauxed bathroom
This bathroom is in process. Not only does it have a matte glaze, I also added a shimmer glaze that adds even more depth than a regular faux.
Leather Faux
These are the same stripes that were shown in the previous post. The lighter stripe leads into the hallway creating another good merge between colors, but also adds an interesting twist in size and form.

The Living Room
Michael always gets the really dirty jobs, or stuck with cleaning.
This is what it looks like for now. Just the beginning...
Me fauxing the fireplace, with an off-white glaze. We like green, but this hue is way to intense, so we thought by adding a neutral color the intensity would soften, and it did. I really should have been in bed, but things like this keep me up at night.
This picture is hard to see. I re-did the painting about the fireplace to add more color and texture in the house.
This is a better view of the painting. Oh, and that's my dress making model
The Kitchen: It has a color curse
Michael took the hard job and spray painted the cabinets.
I painted the 1st of many coats of paint to touch these walls. The space is so small that dark colors intrude on you, you'll see what we ended up with!
It was worth a try! I sampled a faux on the back wall!?! What was I thinking! It was late.
In the process of laying down the floor.
Bamm! This is our new kitchen floor! Notice the wall color! Looks good with the floor, but to dark!

The Bedroom Process
I had to skim coat all the walls, and tape, and... you name it!
The joys of being a decorative painter. I had some left over brown suede paint from Sherwin Williams, so I treated the walls, after they were primed with a brown primer.
The final product! Yay, one room is done!

Park Place- Annapolis MD: Kitchen
It's so hard to photograph Faux Finishes. Take your pick on what looks better, I wanted to show what it looked like with a flash and without.
