Natural Treatment of Douglas Fir Beams



















Sometimes a natural look is most ideal.
Here I am getting ready to put a very clear
and transparent waterproof seal on these
rough-milled beams. My final touch was a
faux pewter metallic finish with a little rust
for interest.

Writer's Office/Yoga Room After

After just two spins on the color wheel our very experienced and confident designer selected Ashley Gray from Benjamin Moore. This color gave the room tranquility for reading and meditation. Rich and Warm for family moments and neutral enough for concentration.



















Preparation was normal: cracks, sanding, priming. The special touch we gave to this room was re-defining the lines where the bull-nose edges met the door and window frames.




Writer's Office/Yoga Room


Our latest project is an office in the Los Angeles area. Here, working for designer, Linda Elkman we took the time to work with the client in selecting just the right color for creativity and meditation

Spanish 1920's Living Room (After)


Restoration Idea

The 'Revere Pewter' here obviously provides a great back drop to this french sofa upholstered in an oyster brown velvet.
Spanish architecture dressed in modern classic neutrals is definitely cool. Eclectic friendly.
What do you think?
