The Designer Showhouse in Centerport NY

A Beautiful Designer Showhouse in Centerport NY

We just completed some beautiful finishes for the Normandy Mansion Designer Showhouse which will be at a gorgeous home across the street from the Vanderbilt Museum in Centerport NY

We did a beautiful light teal strie on the living room walls for designer Beth Foley of West Hempstead NY. Her living room is classic and traditional - but with a modern twist. The art she used for the room was very modern and colorful. Our background supports her colors and themes - because it's timeless and classic and doesn't overpower the room.

Close up of our wall finish - with some of the paintings installed

Beth hadn't finished the room yet, but this painting gives you a glimpse of the colors she used in her space while giving the room a modern touch

Not quite finished with the arrangement, but adding black to the room lends wonderful contrast

Our wall finish lends a soft backdrop to her room. If we had been bolder with the finish, the room would not have worked at all.  This room has such a peaceful quality to it - but the modern paintings give it that punch of color.

We also did the stairway going up to the second floor. Again, we did a subtle colorwashed finish that anyone could afford to have done in their home. It's simple - yet so beautiful. We added a little "Hello" as you enter the stairway...a beautiful scroll and some French wording from a famous poem "Le Printemps." It's understated - but very memorable. Faux finishing used to be loud and all about the tool that you used - but today's professional finishes and subtle and lovely and they add beauty without "being in your face."

Here you see the two finishes together.  The transition from strie to a soft colorwash...is seamless

I did the finishes with Marty Wisehahn of Classic Faux Studios.  I hope that some of you will come to the Showhouse.  It's worth the trip.
