The Perfect Finish Changes Everything!

We can create any finish you can imagine! Faux bois, Venetian plaster, old world gilding, glazes, and aging are just a few examples of finishes we know very well. With a lifetime of experience in the fine and decorative arts worlds we can create any texture color and surface combination you can imagine.

We do custom non-toxic food safe cerused (wax) based finishes for kitchens, tables, or any surfaces little ones might be in contact with.
