Decorative wood finishes

HOME > REFINISHING > DECORATIVE WOOD FINISHES

Endless are the possibilities for decorative or faux finishes. Textured, distressed, crackled, metalicized, are a few of the special effects available. Faux wood grain, faux animal skin, faux tortoise shell and faux marble finishes can all be applied to wood surfaces. The range of colors, color combinations, glazing and toning options is beyond calculation. Even the paints used can vary, a crackle finish made with milk paints has a different look than a crackle with a modern paint. So, what is the point of all this? Simply to say, if you have some idea of what you would like a piece of your furniture to look like, we can most likely help you. Since we are not a production shop, we don't have samples of say, the twelve finishes we offer. There are many more than twelve decorative finishes we can accomplish successfully. However, since we deal primarily in old furniture made to feature the beauty of the wood, we don't get too many requests for a decorative wood finish. But we love it when we do because we enjoy the opportunity to express the artistic impulses that drive us. Please give us the opportunity to help you bring art into your home on the canvas of a piece of furniture.
