HGTV and the decorating fever: Get any group of woman together and they will quickly tell you - they love to watch the home decorating shows and seriously lust after those warm inviting dens and elegant dining rooms. But seriously, how many people have the time and energy to make it happen? What with work, kids, runing the household and that brief illusive promice of a day off - your schedule is already totally booked! Recently I have had several of my best clients request a simpler approach to decorating thier home. Please allow this page time to load - there are over 40 finishes!

The 48 - hour Makeover reduces overwhelm & agonizing over colors, eliminates the stress of having work done in your private space and makes it cost effective because it actually increases the resale value of your home. Best of all it's quick, affordable and painless!. I have personally designed an amazing selection of classic finishes that can be done on a budget in a shortened period of time. Included are the most popular and versatile wall finishes guaranteed to enhance the value and give your home timeless beauty.

One of a kind designs Understandably the majority of my business involves creating high end custom finishes and I have no intention of abandoning that part of my work. I love collaborating with designers and homeowners to achieve the perfect look that makes their vision come alive. However this takes a lot of time, specialized skills and materials. I don't mind because I charge for it and quite honestly my clientele has come to rely on my creativity and expertise in this area. But there were many people who love the designer look but not the process or price....

Why I developed the 48 hour makeover: But for some people, it is the endless possibilities that become overwhelming. Like going to a restaurant that has 500 entrees and 250 salads and all of them look appetizing! Just the thought of it can make some people turn around and head for pizza. Having seen that look of panic, I understand that having too many choices does not necessarily make getting the perfect faux finish pleasant. In today's ultra busy world, decorating becomes just another job that gets heaped on a pile that's already too big. You want choosing a faux finsh to be effortless and affordable- your time is valuableI created the 48 hour makeover because -making your home feel special shouldn't be a chore!

How can they be so cost effective? As you may already know, all faux finishes are done over top of an eggshell or satin sheen, however builders only use flat paint on new homes. So in addition to selecting a faux finish you must also pay to have the walls painted first! I have spent months developing a special process that allows me to create the finish directly over flat walls which saves time and money. I want to assure you that I have worked hard to make sure that the quality and beauty of your finish has not been compromised in any way! I even use the same materials that are used on more expensive projects. By choosing only the most popular and timeless finishes you now have instant access to custom looks at discount prices. Each techniques can be done within the 48 hour timeframe in an average room ( 10' x 12' with 8' cielings). I have also developed a special technique that allows me to execute these finishes directly over flat builders paint. (don't ask it's a secret) This combination allows me to offer this amazing 48 hour painted finish makeover!

Faux Painting trends: Over the past 20 + years of decorative painting I have seen many trends and styles come and go. When I started some even said faux painting was a fad and thought it would soon fade away along with the sponge it came in on. Needless to say faux finishes have continued to grow and are now a staple in our decorating vocabulary. Faux Painting is here to stay and with good reason - it is gorgeous! More advanced paints, glazes and specialty products - coupled with endless creativity of the people in our craft - means that any look you can imagine can now be created! This means that more people than ever are now able to get a truly distinctive look for their homes.

Saving time not cutting quality: By eliminating the normal custom sample board process, painting a basecoat and having the samples available for you to choose from online- I have been able to reduce cost by almost 50% in some cases. Don't worry - I still do lots fo custom one of a kind finishes and murals- so give me your ideas and we can get started today!
