The projects our studio is commissioned to do by clients encompass all treatable surfaces from walls and ceilings to floors and decorative objects and furniture. Some of the projects we are asked to do require jobsite visits; others are done in the studio. All projects we undertake for our clients are customized to their needs and their input is important to their success. The following categories are just a few examples of projects we have completed.
