The entire powder room was painted to look like a cabana, with striped fabric opening to a view of the Ogeechee River. The clients two mischievous dogs were added, one peeking under the tent while another is tugging on a tassel.
Faux Bois
Faux Bois (French for false wood) trim in a Long Point, Savannah, GA residence. I applied a faux wood finish with several layers of glaze and clear making the walnut doors appear larger and lighter in color than the former white trim. This saved the homeowner from days of construction and finishing.
Refinished Antique Hutch
This hutch was in rough shape when I first saw it. The stained finish was too dark for the room, was two separate pieces (the top was mounted to the wall) and missing moldings. I made it one piece with added mirrors and trim, replaced missing trim, and gave it an antique red finish with black glaze and rubbed gold accents. Now a bar, located in Dahlonega, GA.

Chest with Quail Hunting Scene
