A Greenspring Valley Home needed a tasteful upgrade to their pine built-in bookshelves, crown moulding, and baseboards. Using high quality paints and glazes, I was able to transform the space into an elegant sitting room.

this project was a delightful experience for me and my crew! Not only were we right on the beach in Rehoboths’ North Shore community, but our work truly transformed the environment. These beams were constructed from drywall and we painted them to look like aged rustic weathered teak! I was truly into this project and this detailed and high caliber painting.

In this photo is my number one work partner nikki,aka my “work wife”.cant seem to locate the final photo but the production shot is impressive enough.the handpainted border added so much depth and elegance to this dining room floor.During a renovation process the clients decided to have their hard wood floors re done.The process includes the removal of old urethane by sanding during which time the floor was in a perfct state for adding this design element.After we were finished the floor company completely urethaned all the floors including our bordered room.sweet!
