The Process
Connect with us via email or telephone call and we get back to you.
Please describe your project: space, wall or ceiling, size and artwork or architectural finish you would like to be created.
It would be very helpful to get some pictures (your room, furniture etc.) or any other visual references prior our first meeting.
After our first conversation on phone or through email we will set up a meeting for a free preliminary consultation to talk about your project.
During our first meeting we collaborate with our clients to get a better idea about our cients needs: design, colors, textures or finishes.
Together we discuss size, style and materials to be used, our clients wishes and concerns. We make our suggestions and depending on project we show some samples (Venetian plasters, faux finishes or wood finishes etc.) for our clients to choose.
After in-depth conversation we will provide you with an estimate.
Our estimate includes a detailed description of work to be performed, paints and other materials to be used, estimated duration of the project, labor and materials cost, payments schedule.
When you decide to move forward with the project please return signed contract with the deposit check, that we can move to the design stage of the project, making samples and sketches.

We have a wide veriety of samples (Venetian plasters, faux finishes, wood finishes etc.) for our clients to choose. And we create custom made samples based on clients specifications.
We create color or ink sketches prior starting murals or trompe l'oeil, starting with preliminary design ideas and will adjust or change them according our clients wishes.
