decorated plaster column table with crackled fnish gold leafing
Here's a plaster column that I purchased plain white and decorated with an antique patina. A basic table was given a new identity with a white crackled finish over dark green. A nicely detailed wood mantle received some added sophistication from gold leafing on its most prominent details.
ceiling medallion in metallic gold wash grained box
This new plaster ceiling medallion was aged to go with the rest of the room's theme with a metallic gold wash. This $3 pine box became exotic when I grained it to look like Brazilian Rosewood. Top view of the Rosewood box.
marbled mantle marbled panel marbling a mantle
Take a plain wood mantle and add some sienna style marbling, and you've got a new look for your living room. The panels in this dining room needed something to make the room more formal.
A little marble goes a long way!		 Only part of the mantle in this room was marbled. The purple marble goes with the lavender color scheme on the walls.
hand painted details decorated box black laquer and harlequin diamonds
This composite ceiling medallion is given a lush look with hand painted details. This pine box is richly decorated with black lacquer and purple marble. A yard sale find goes high end with black lacquer and harlequin diamonds.
redecorated ceiling fan blade accent colors can add to the decor
White ceiling fan blade before it was decorated. White ceiling fan blade grained to look like Brazilian Rosewood. Even something simple like adding an accent color to the bevels of the raised paneling on this fireplace surround can add style and elegance.
a distressed, antique look refinished marble top cabinets with distressed look
I took this piece from a plain stained finish to a distressed, antique look. This true antique suffered water damage on it's original painted marble top. I repaired it and completely repainted it in a green serpentine marble. (top only) Working with the cabinet maker, I developed this slightly distressed finish from bare wood. The cabinets were painted at the workshop and distressed after installation.

kitchen cabinet with distressed finish

A closer look at the slightly distressed kitchen. For this Manchester, NH new construction project, I applied an aged bronze finish to the fire insert surround and mantle. The wall area is also glazed. For this quality crafted piece of furniture, I stripped off the old paint and updated it with an embedded glaze to suite the designer's vision.

   
My customer just wasn't happy with the way this new light fixture looked right out of the box. To better fit with the rustic decor of this powder room, I applied a rusted iron finish.
