Meet Design Red's fantastic foux technique

 

I met the Design Red team at the Architectural Digest home show early this year and was very impressed with their fine decorative painting work. "Design Red is a Chicago based firm that specializes in fine decorative painting, with a commitment to excellence in craftsmanship on every project, and is known for extensive experience, highly skilled artistry, innovative style, creativity, and distinguishing detail. Named by Chicago Magazine for "Best Faux Finishes" in 2007, DesignRed's clientele include prominent interior designers and architects, and private individuals." Some of their work can be printed as wallpaper and delivered to their clients making the process more personal and easier. Below are samples of their work. I can only imagine how much work and effort it takes to get these kinds of results.

This bathroom looks as glamorous as it can be with antique gilding technique.

I love the Faux bois in this bathroom.
