What is a “custom finish” anyway?

Custom finishes have a long history.  Sheetrock and today’s acrylic-based wall paints are a modern invention.  Before that, both interiors and exteriors were finished in historic plasters and paints made of natural materials such as lime or even clay.  And decorative finishes such as faux marbling have been done for centuries in Europe to imitate the real thing where real marble wasn’t practical.  (One of our greatest thrills was seeing an Italian artist touching up faux marble panels in the Vatican!)

Modern paints and plasters have expanded the range of what can be done.  The key for today’s homeowner is to give their home a unique touch that won’t be trendy and out-dated in a few years!  (Remember all the glazed wall finishes during the Tuscan trend??)  We’re here to help you envision and create a custom finish for your home that is classic and timeless.
