Faux Finishing, Cabinet Glazing/Refinishing in Charlotte

Faux finishing and cabinet refinishing has become a popular method for those seeking home improvements and making changes that add value. But faux painting doesn't have to be limited to walls. Check out my porfolio at www.fauxandmore.homestead.com/p... to view more photos.

Cabinets are very expensive and time consuming to replace. However, Faux & More can save you an average of 70% of what it would cost to replace them. Take your average oak cabinets. They work well, but have no personality or charm. Maybe the hardware is also outdated. Buying new cabinets means you get whatever is in their catelogue. But, by having them refinished by Faux & More, you can have them perfectly customized to what YOU want without paying for the "extras".

Let's go another step further.....

Why limit your improvements to just kitchen cabinets? What about the cabinets in your bathrooms? Do you have a plain, white, plastic-looking fireplace mantle and surround? If you have wood banisters/railings on your stairs? How cool would it be to have them refinished to match the kitchen cabinets? The possibilities are endless!

Most people think of walls when they think of faux finishing. So, let's explore further.

When thinking of faux finishing, what's most important to you? Colors, textures, patterns, shadows, special effects? Here are some cool finishes that can incorporate all of these elements:

Stone block walls - this can be done in any color you wish. Color perception can create texture and give a 3-D effect using shadows and high-lights.

What about a stucco effect on your walls? A step further would be to have the stucco chipping off of underlying brick or stone blocks.
Maybe add some cracking to the stucco. I can even have ivy vines growing out of the cracks in the stucco!

What kind of room would benefit and how can I decorate it? A nice entryway would be perfect. Doesn't have to be large; just has to be a space that is characteristically designed to be the entryway. Maybe place some stone columns or stone statues and/or a bench to give it an outdoor feel.

Another great place would be in the living room as an accent wall. This would look especially nice if you have a fireplace.
