With Your Imagination and my talent, you won't believe the results!
CHRIS BURKE HAS BEEN CREATING BEAUTIFUL FINISHES FOR TWENTY YEARS, IN BOTH COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL DESIGNS. WE WILL TRAVEL FOR FAUX FINISH PROJECTS. BASED IN THE WASHINGTON DC METROPOLITAN AREA.
FAUX FINISHES ENABLE LIMITLESS ALTERNATIVES TO TRADITIONAL FLAT PAINT. THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO HANG ON TO THOSE BORING WHITE (OR TAUPE, TAUPE, TAUPE) PAINTED IN ROOM THROUGHOUT YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS.
NO SURFACE IS IMMUNE FROM THE APPLICATION OF A FAUX FINISH. FROM WALLS, CEILINGS, CABINETRY, FLOORS TO ANY SURFACE YOU WISH; A FAUX FINISH WILL STICK AND LAST. CHRIS CAN CREATE ANY STYLE OF FAUX FINISH, FROM THE VERY SIMPLE AND SUBTLE, TO THE WAY OVER THE TOP FANTASY FINISHES. UPON CONSULTATION, HE BRINGS OUT HUNDREDS OF VARIOUS SAMPLES TO CHOOSE FROM, OR UNIQUE SAMPLE BOARDS CAN BE CRAFTED FOR YOU ALONE.
Some of the more popular faux finishes:
* Color washes - ragged, brushed, sponged, cheese clothed
* Multiple glazes - layered over one another, creates great depth
* Venetian plasters - troweled on plaster, burnished to create the illusion of depth and texture
* Tuscan old-world plasters - troweled on plaster, aged to perfection
* Faux stone effects - limestone, granite, marble
