Faux The Love of It is a full service decorative painting company involved with residential and commercial faux finishing and murals. Our work covers a broad range of surfaces and a multitude of finishes including glazing, venetian plasters, lusterstones and old world textures. We reface your cabinetry to give new life to your old cabinets. Tina also specializes in murals and hand painted artwork while Heidi is an experienced stenciler. Many projects that we do include a variety of products and painting techniques.
Step 1: The Initial Consultation
At the initial consult you will be shown a wide variety of samples in your home. We will discuss the differences in the finishes and processes and work with you to find the finish that best meets your vision for the space. We will also measure the space to be finished. The first two hours of this consult are complimentary. Additional consult time is charged at $75.00 per hour that will be credited back to you when the project is booked.
Step 2: Create a Bid For The Project
A written proposal will be provided to you via e-mail, fax, or mail . Once the finishes are chosen and the proposal is accepted, the contract is then signed and a deposit is collected.
Step 3: Schedule The Project
Once the deposit is collected custom samples are created based upon initial discussions. The client will then approve a sample in the desired color. If necessary we will continue to modify samples until the desired look is achieved. Dates will then be set to begin the project. The client will prepare the area prior to our arrival according to the terms and conditions stated in the contract.
Step 4: Complete The Project
The work will be completed in a neat and timely manner. Remember, faux finishing is not like painting. Painters use rollers and sprayers to speed up the job. All faux finishing is applied methodically by hand, which can take up to five times longer depending on the room size and the finish you choose. Time should be planned accordingly.
Faux Finishing is a true art form. Hiring a decorative artist is not like hiring a painter. We as decorative artists can give you the elegance and ambiance you want. When you hire Faux The Love of It you are getting the experience and knowledge to turn your home into a work of art.
We work with designers, builders and home owners to develop custom decorative finishes, cabinetry and murals for a variety of surfaces.
