The HouseMaKEOVeR
This spectacular home in Yardley was entrusted to us by the home owners to install crown moudling at the ceiling, create a unique eight piece custom shelf with dental molding and blocking, paint all wall areas, make repairs to walls and create a striping effect in the dining room as well as faux finish the four entry columns of the foyer with a marble effect....All while on vacation.
Each night we posted pictures of our progress on this site for them to see. Samples were made of the shelving and basic samples shown of the striping and faux marble effects, prior to them leaving. As with anything adjustments need to be made in the field and the client was able to see visually what we were talking about. Technology!
The client asked what do we need to do before we leave? We said, nothing at all, just enjoy your vacation. The rooms were cleared of most furnishings, tables, lamps, chairs etc. for our work to begin. Once completed all areas were cleaned, vacuumed, dusted and returned to there designated areas as if nothing happened. The client returned to a completed and clean home ready to enjoy.

The Whole House Paintingw/faux
This beautiful home located in Newtown was painted inside complete by us. In the dining room we created a suttle faux marble type finish in oil, giving it a real natural shine and smooth blending. The colors used together are the flat outside border colors over an eggshell base of the lighter color. The trim was repainted two coats for a level and even sheen. The main entry foyer ceiling we created a little more dramatic marble effect with veining and multiple colors within the tre ceiling. Here again, we changed the color of the wood banister handrails and posts with a high gloss clear polyurethane stain and blend mix so the original wood grain is still seen just a lot more dramatic.

Foyer/Dining/Parlor
In this two story main foyer we removed wallpaper made repairs and oil primed. All existing 3 inch molding was removed and replaced with 6 inch crown molding and base along with focal point freeze and pilaster columns at the entry ways to the dining, parlor and main entry door. We left the upper crown molding in the foyer and added a 1 inch sculpted molding 3 inches below to create an illusion of a thicker molding.Base coated walls in an eggshell 2 coats. Primed all wood spindles of staircase and painted 2 coats. The banister and treads were sanded and re-stained in a custom blended polyurethane gloss.
Painted all molding in a semi gloss finish. We then created a three color faux finish on the walls and will be applying another glaze over the finish for added depth.
The adjoining parlor and dining room we also removed all existing moldings and replaced with larger scale molding. Painted all surfaces in an eggshell finish with the ceilings flat. In the parlor we created a strie finish with a dark gold base and a two shade lighter glaze strie.

Kids Room
In this home in Buckingham we constructed a shelf twelve inches wide with 6 inch crown molding and sculptured blocks with columns at the wall and pitched ceiling. Having already removed the existing three inch baseboard we then installed a 6 inch sculptured base molding and mitered the base around the columns to increase the column effect. We then attached 4 inch wide planking along rectangular ceiling out line. Similar size planking as the ceiling was then cut and mitered down the pitched ceiling to the shelf. Finally, cut sculpted one inch trim molding around column tops to add that extra detail. Another detail was added to the face of the shelving with a beaded 3/4 inch molding. The construction was then puttied and caulked and just shed project once painted.

Bathroom
In this bathroom we intalled a 1-3/4 base trim around the perimeter of the room and cut and attached a 2 inch wide cap molding and rounded corner edges. quarter inch thick and 1-1/2 wide molding strips were spaced vertical from top molding to tile base. Chaulked and puttied and just waiting for color choices.
Station 55
At Station 55, Newtown Fire Association, we created signage for the station with a textured stone look on existing wall area and marbleized background for lettering background with veining. We then installed crown molding top and bottom with blocking. Within the bottom crown molding we installed cord lighting which lights up the faux work and lettering. The emblem in the center was proportioned to fit and supplied to us by the apparatus manufacturer as a sticker. We then cut plywood to fit the scrolled dimensions and placed with it sitting several inches from the wall area.

Dining Room Faux and The whole house paint - twice
In this fantastic home we painted the walls, ceiling a flat yellow/tan and below the chair rail we created a mulitiple sponge faux techique finish and painted all the trim in a pearl finish. The ceiling area was one solid color from our original paint job when constructed. We painted the interior square areas the same color as the walls.
This custom home was originally painted by us complete in 1999 as new construction.

Kitchen "old world" Faux
In this kitchen we started out with the homeowners removing wallpaper and preping the walls and also installing crown molding and plinth blocks and larger scale trim base primed, themslves. Nice job!
We then created a textured old world style finish and painted in a eggshell finish, a yellow/tan, we then applied a glaze of a desert beige color and exposed the detail in the textured finish. The next day we painted all the trim a creamy white semigloss.

Our creation, Foyer
Here we where given full creativity. A complete redo of a main entry foyer. We started with lighting as the most important part to our final finished product, installed by a certified electrician. Stipping wall paper, oil primed and skim coated walls. We installed "Focal Point" architectual products 5-7/8" crown molding with decorative corner blocking and painted cameo white. We then painted the walls a soft eggshell yellow. We then treated the doorways with pilasters and head treatments. The walls were then glazed and bagged with a orange pumpin hue oil glaze somewhat transperent to reveal the background soft yellow.

This unique bedroom with sitting area
was treated with "focal point" dental crown moulding with corner blocking. In the area where the ceiling pitched we built a shelf for the moulding to sit, creating more uniqueness to the area. The door frame trim work was replaced with fluted moulding with corner blocks and base blocking. We replaced the standard doors with french glass doors. The base moulding was left as is and we added a thin fluted moulding 3 inches up the wall to give the illusion of a larger base to fit proportionately to the room. The walls were painted summer sage in an eggshell and the trim was painted cameo white semi-gloss. The pitched ceiling was faux painted to give a cloudy effect using the colors of the selected chair material.

Foyer
In this main entry foyer we added crown molding with blocking along second story ceiling as well as ground floor hall. We also added decorative trim to trimless entry ways. Below the chair rail we base painted in an eggshell tan and created an oil glazed bag finish. This same faux finish was done in the family room two story wall. The adjacent rooms off the main entry foyer were painted in an eggshell gold color with white trim throughout.

Some one Help
This property we completed unfinished work from another out of town contractor. We completed various carpentry including two cabinets installed and retro fitted kitchen island with wood panels. We sanded primed and painted all the cabinetry in an oil gloss with a brush layed flat. The oil gloss has a glass like shiny smooth finish. The cabinetry was painted by the former contractor in a semigloss latex and rolled the finish. We also painted all crown moulding and trim. Completed tile work and created custom thresholds and custom made wood threshold for an entry door. Attached cabinetry hardware. Changed a light fixture, put up a fan, installed a doggy door, put together furniture pieces, Installed additional fencing around the rear fence area (250 lf), Installed a door bell, attached face plates, hung a mirror, and some other things I can't think of at the moment. In addition we were given the oppurtunity to complete and improvise a basement laundry area using materails existing in the basement to create a functional and ussable area with plenty of storage.

Primed and painted entire room. Next we installed undercounter lighting and lighting on top of the cabinetry.
