Kitchen cabinet Makeover (Video)

Petrina — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 02:54:31 +0000

To stave off the cost of remodeling this kitchen, a Faux Finish Paint technique was applied. We chose a semi transparent green color and gave this kitchen a makeover to not only please the eye but the pocketbook too.

Instead of having the expense of new or refinished cabinets why not just add some fabulous color to give them new life? For this couple, we chose the wife’s favorite color – a nice transparent, rich burgundy. They have had many compliments!

This mural was fun to do. Local Ventura scenery of Anacapa Island with wild flowers was added to a guest bathroom. This house was at the beach in Ventura, so keeping it local was important to the client. My toughest critic made sure I added some animals for added interest.

Guest Bedroom Mural by the Beach

This is a Beach Mural of Local Landscape in Ventura, in a home by the beach. We wanted to be pulled into the guest bedroom from down the hall. Bright colors, local vegitation and a sailboat made it a fun project for me.

Nature Mural on stair case

This is one of my favorite Murals. On a curved stair case it was very impressive when you walked in the door. This was a co-create with a dear Artist Friend of mine. We work well together and had a lot of fun painting this. The subject was taken from local pictures of California landscape, with rocks and a waterfall.

Bedroom Half Wall Faux Finish with Stencil accent

We wanted to have green in this room but not have it be overpowering. So we just did half the walls and accented it with a stencil.

Accent Wall in the Dining Room

The client chose these colors because she really liked them. We did not realize that the wall matched her bowl on the table until we put the room back together. This one wall really gave the whole room pizzaz.

Curved Staircase Mural

This mural was interesting because it had so many perspectives to choose from. It looked different from every angle. The challenge was making it look good from all angles. It was very large 9′x14′ and working on a curved stair case made it just that much more of a workout. But hey when you love your job what’s a little workout? This client wanted to bring in some of their back yard into the front entry. The rest of the entryway was a beautiful Venitian plaster that worked great with the mural.

Wall Texture With Faux Finish Accent

Here we have an actual 3D look on the walls accented by a Faux Finish. First the wall Texture was applied with a trowel. Then a base coat of color applied over that and then a glaze with a third color was added to further accentuate the texture. This three step, three color process gives a very dramatic antique adobe look to the walls.

Exterior Mural

This client was fond of a Local Ventura County Mountain called Topa Topa. It is the highest elevation in Ventura County. They could not see the mountain from any window even though it was close to home, so we put it on the Exterior Wall for the enjoyment of all who arrived.
