French Chateaux in New Baltimore

Anna K — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 22:04:52 +0000

Recently we had a pleasure to completely repaint and faux finish a beautiful French Chateaux style home in New Baltimore, Michigan. Originally constructed by Ventimiglia Building Company served as their sales office and was later purchased by its present owner, a local business man. At the time it was planned and constructed Mr. Ventimiglia travelled to south of France to find inspiration for the models plans. It features a southern style court yard with custom fountain and a sitting area. Inside it is very elegant and functional with bonus rooms and custom build cabinetry. Our favorite room has to be the enormous day room with four gorgeous French doors swing opening to outside for comforting breeze during hot summer days. Here are some pictures of the project:

Recently we had an opportunity to work on a house tha originally belonged to the Ford family. Constructed in 1928, this classic beuty had some roms that where preserved in their original condition . One such room was “Movie Room” that serves the present owners as a movie theatre feturing a large projector screen. The walls were all 1920′s stained pine woodwork and needed a lot of TLC even before painting. We started with securing loose pieces, removing and adding some others to bring it to workable condition. It took days of masking,sending and cleaning. We sprayed premium quality primer and Benjamin Moore Aura Finish. The entire project took almoast three weeks, and results were stunning. This room is ready for another one hundred years.

Metallic Railing

Anna K — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 11:15:00 +0000

It is one of the most popular finishes we provide. Customers request it because it dresses up ordinary looking iron work and helps to enhance the detail. Metal Smiths usually finish their work with black oil paint that causes the elements to visually blend together. Sometimes the manufacturing shop applies a powder coating that again looks same throughout the railing and does not accentuate intricate metal work. On the other hand, our custom waxes do just that. In addition to beauty they also offer greater durability then acrylic metallic paint and are applied faster. Here are some pictures of our past applications on railings and light fixtures.

$279 Metallic Raging Special

Anna K — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 10:00:00 +0000

Metallic elegant faux finish is a very luxurious and versatile finish. It is composed of two layers; underlying base of regular latex paint and a top coat of a metallic glaze. The resulting effect is very subtle in low light conditions and shows very nicely with some light hitting the walls. Metallic glaze produces shimmering reflection that changes with the lighting conditions throughout the day.

Here are some pictures of the finish:
