Redefining “Faux Finishing” by using cutting-edge techniques relevant to today’s contemporary design style, NOT the sponge painting or old-world Tuscan techniques of the past that many associate with the term “faux”.

Specializing in artistic feature/focal walls, dramatic powder rooms, unique ceiling designs, custom range hoods, fireplace makeovers, creating custom finishes that mimic high-end designer wallpapers, large-scale agate & geode finishes, painting outlets & switch plates to match back-splash granite or tile, and much more.

Serving: Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Moore County, Sandhills Region of North Carolina as well as Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Remote projects in other locations will also be considered
