Now, after doing hundreds of OFF the wall pieces – we spend a lot of our time
doing ON the wall Faux Finishes! We provide Faux Finishes of all kinds for your
walls – and your ceilings, your kitchen cabinets – just about anything that will
hold still enough for a tickle of our brushes and trowels. We even offer Venetian
Plaster/Italian Plaster finishes, Tromp L'oeil and murals!
We offer: Venetian/Italian Plaster, decorative stucco, suede finishes, leather finishes, faux woodgraining, faux marble, faux stone, murals, Tromp L'oeil, stenciling, striee, glazing, frottage, pouncing, dragging, color washing, ragging, sponging, stippling, etc. - just ask! Check out our Gallery tab to view some of our samples and pictures of some of our recent assignments.
Two Painted Ladies started out as Damsels in Distress – distressed furniture
pieces and architectural elements that were "distressed" from years of living,
and rescued from old properties slated for the wrecking ball, lovingly restored.
We haunted the attics and basements of historic houses and estate sales for just
the right pieces with enough character to fill the space and provide the function
our clients needed. (Many of our clients were frustrated with the mass production
of "unique" home decorating pieces now available online and in catalogs to
millions, including their neighbors, and the outrageous prices for inferior quality.)
We soon found ourselves not just rescuing the furnishings, but also the antique,
vintage and retro items we found on each mission. As word of our rescues
spread, we found many orphans on our doorstep – pieces the owners had
outgrown, but were too loved to just discard.
Oh, if only our Painted Ladies furnishings and Tarnished Ladies antiques and
vintage items could talk, the racket they would make with all the stories they
could tell of their colorful past! Each piece has a story, and if you catch us in our
workshop, we'll be glad to share the story and tell how we acquired the piece
over a cup of coffee.
