Wall Murals (Click on pictures for larger view)
All murals can be painted on any surface including canvas that can be delivered and installed for you or shipped directly to you with installation instructions. We can follow a selected theme, copy a picture or  logo or we can create an original design.  The Cafe window above was an original design in a restaurant, while the Palm Tree project reflected the logo of the Shear Oasis Beauty Salon and Spa in Huntington Beach.
 

Marbleizing (Click on picture for larger view) 

This is one of the more popular faux finishes today, and when done right can look amazingly genuine! It is a gradual process of blending and layering multiple colors and glazes. This project was done on a metal rotisserie oven hood that was originally covered in brown wood grain contact paper.  What a difference!

 

Trompe l'oeil (Click on picture for larger view)

Trompe l'Oeil can be translated as "Trick the Eye".  It is a 3-dimensional painted illusion; These arches give the effect that the patrons of the restaurant were looking out the open arches to the sea.

  Stenciling
The use of pre-cut stencils to create designs on walls and furniture, such as borders, motifs, accent painted walls, etc.  

Hand painted Borders

We can reproduce wall paper designs and implement them into an border as an accent on an opposite wall, or produce original designs following a client selected theme or motif, such as grape vines, ivy, flowering vines, etc.
