Home Decor: The Big Picture
In addition to being an artist, I am a certified architectural color consultant, choosing color and paint palettes for both interior and exterior residential and commercial spaces. For more information about my home color consulting, please go to: www.secondstageinteriors.com.
All aspects of home decor, from wall paint colors to pivotal wall art has been my focus for many years. As a result, I developed an unusual skill set that often led me to redesign home objects, spaces and walls. While many of these unusual projects were done to renovate my own homes, I also ran my own interior decorating firm for several years and implemented several projects that were a bit "out of the box". The photos below provide some of those project's details for you:

The original outdated living room and fireplace

The final repainted (stained) fireplace

The redesigned living room and fireplace in a very long, rectangular and ackward space. Across from the couch there was an old fashioned, inset bar that was removed and replaced with a wide screen tv to enable the room to be more functionally useful.

Temporary Kitchen Fix:
This home was facing a major renovation a few years down the line but immediately, the very old stove needed to be removed and replaced with a stove top that was cleaner and more functional. So, this stove top and cabinet were added butt up against the original granite counter (behind in the photo). To install the new stove top, the cabinet was set in and bare plywood was put in the top to position the stove top securely. I then faux painted that plywood (the area around the stove top itself) to match the the original granite counter.
