Faux finishes and decorative painting for the San Francisco Bay Area and all over the North Bay, including Sausalito, Mill Valley, Corte Madera, Belvedere, Ross, Tiburon, San Rafael, and Novato. We are faux finish and mural experts!
This week we painted another mural on a stairway, this one in Mill Valley. The mural is a breathtaking view of Portofino, Italy. “Vistors to our home will now be requested to present their passports,” joked our happy clients.
And here is the sunset sky ceiling we painted in their dining room:
We also gilded a couple of niches to elegantly set off the objects d’arts of our well-traveled clients!
Finally, we added a soft limestone faux finish and some gilding to a couple of columns leading to the master bedroom to add an authentic touch:

For a client in Greenbrae we painted an Indian themed mural and Doric column along their staircase and some tromp l’oeil arches on one wall, incoporating their prized Wurlitzer jukebox!
