"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.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipFDoU6V78Q5O2y4HW9Gxykk8pGddRqn9Gw-lCL-6f_T2BWjkVZKyjjtocHReevsu4-g3RBloLyCJIhP74cq9GfnNt6m_RXj1Oxvt8GiA4yHqA9pZXj0dLjRw7JokYrz364nbzTmPkV70/s1600/design+red+studio.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="258" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536036046141698066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipFDoU6V78Q5O2y4HW9Gxykk8pGddRqn9Gw-lCL-6f_T2BWjkVZKyjjtocHReevsu4-g3RBloLyCJIhP74cq9GfnNt6m_RXj1Oxvt8GiA4yHqA9pZXj0dLjRw7JokYrz364nbzTmPkV70/s400/design+red+studio.jpg" width="470" /></a><br />This bathroom looks as glamorous as it can be with<span id="caption"> antique gilding technique. </span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdFeaW39jUgT8zGjCmF6NbvaIPjaPYFxCDliGzLW1sdWsUzWnEbugXyXz7VfWMCNUsl6gqwCz_AwUoZ4p66R9Hp9A2qFMWmWZ3kCz_xk5ZbeB2Ewc5vNGT58JPuxRZy5cCQdgdZyY7jbc/s1600/design+red.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536036058907482962" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdFeaW39jUgT8zGjCmF6NbvaIPjaPYFxCDliGzLW1sdWsUzWnEbugXyXz7VfWMCNUsl6gqwCz_AwUoZ4p66R9Hp9A2qFMWmWZ3kCz_xk5ZbeB2Ewc5vNGT58JPuxRZy5cCQdgdZyY7jbc/s400/design+red.jpg" width="481" /></a><br /></div><span id="caption">One of two side tables that were gilded then burnished and detail of an antique gilded bathroom.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioSPH9zwrIy7-FMU-HWS0sNdP_3Dii8pgwS02AnONMDHpLi2x3nUuJdXTKY76gdNV5qdIF0o_aNq1-uYMcoMpeh6nFV5E8XY5MyYXycyggUOobIGo6fGtyFJFo630i_KQhhgE9PdvXglg/s1600/designred+stencils.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536036993472848674" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioSPH9zwrIy7-FMU-HWS0sNdP_3Dii8pgwS02AnONMDHpLi2x3nUuJdXTKY76gdNV5qdIF0o_aNq1-uYMcoMpeh6nFV5E8XY5MyYXycyggUOobIGo6fGtyFJFo630i_KQhhgE9PdvXglg/s400/designred+stencils.jpg" style="height: 306px; width: 447px;" /></a><br /><span id="caption"> Hand painted ceiling panels in a French Beaux Arts design and detail of blue faux bois.</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC1MTDTy24vc53ra57dp5IUUnWEYOELIqrUFLjw1YJkqsd9Qy8g9kIX-p_OyjIX6n3-5nAmjCNmvBQKwXfaF2hrT-FkexFirAxeAjKwMNemzVObykU-HfICplqQ8uZpV1_g2LEZDkZUi0/s1600/designredfouxbois.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536035658139119554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC1MTDTy24vc53ra57dp5IUUnWEYOELIqrUFLjw1YJkqsd9Qy8g9kIX-p_OyjIX6n3-5nAmjCNmvBQKwXfaF2hrT-FkexFirAxeAjKwMNemzVObykU-HfICplqQ8uZpV1_g2LEZDkZUi0/s400/designredfouxbois.jpg" style="height: 333px; width: 473px;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span id="caption">I love the Faux bois in this bathroom.</span><br /><span id="caption"> </span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR18yPcBaPxncH1J1gfbL40exjjwauNZHJrslzRzCPRzh6ovgHXZ64q1t0O-Sb5aO5RcZgIgJlliGHfc1q-NV6WdrEzQ2_cuqyqQov5ngeJZBrOXAX5nuI73VnQua3ORK4pdEBjeqBtbI/s1600/designredstudio1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536035635347012546" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR18yPcBaPxncH1J1gfbL40exjjwauNZHJrslzRzCPRzh6ovgHXZ64q1t0O-Sb5aO5RcZgIgJlliGHfc1q-NV6WdrEzQ2_cuqyqQov5ngeJZBrOXAX5nuI73VnQua3ORK4pdEBjeqBtbI/s400/designredstudio1.jpg" style="height: 519px; width: 443px;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span id="caption">Bronze gilded ceiling and </span><span id="caption"> dressing screen gilded and hand painted with Modern</span><span id="caption"> design.</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_5EMJDE4Fu5e5dnyMVgTJKPFfWZZZb3AgBJOi9qcG67jgvX7-ZzDRzVDTgS7mBbrzZX4Fy4GUCimf82fRh_A_eS9ZxbSnei4vIvftJ2s_73MiCs5l-JfwiWYfV6mSBkK0G5VabENRSXw/s1600/designredstudios.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536035637428182706" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_5EMJDE4Fu5e5dnyMVgTJKPFfWZZZb3AgBJOi9qcG67jgvX7-ZzDRzVDTgS7mBbrzZX4Fy4GUCimf82fRh_A_eS9ZxbSnei4vIvftJ2s_73MiCs5l-JfwiWYfV6mSBkK0G5VabENRSXw/s400/designredstudios.jpg" style="height: 320px; width: 473px;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span id="caption">Hand painted chinoiserie wallpaper and black-on-black stenciled wall.<br /><span style="font-size: 180%; font-style: italic;">Enjoy your weekend!!</span></span></div></div>
