Sorry for the late posting for October, we have been busy on projects. Also spending time with my Dad in the nursing home. He is amazing at age 91!
My older brother Bob is also pictured here.
But, David and I have some exciting news to share soon!
Our goal at Bella Faux Finishes is to make it easier for you to get “Fresh… New – Interior Design Ideas” for your project.
Here is the direction we are going:
(1) “Think Bella! – Video Blog” – We will be filming short videos, where we will share various Decorative Finishes.
We will explain a little bit about each finish, show you samples of the finish close up and share project photos of where we have introduced this finish. The clips will be short, so you can get in and get out. You will know right away if this is an effect that would work on your project.
(2) “New Decorative Finishes” – We are working on many New Decorative Finishes and will be sharing new samples soon!
(3) “New Interior Design Concepts” – When you schedule a meeting with Bella, the most valuable thing that we bring to your home, are our Interior Design Ideas! Our Decorative Finishes are secondary, our Ideas are by far the most valuable service we share. We will walk through your home and help you identify where your “Unique Opportunities” are and why you should consider this area as special.
So if you want your home to be “In Style” but do not want it to look like every other home... Lets Talk!
I will share a few pics here.
Would you would like to share some ideas about your project?
Just Call or Text, David Nordgren at (605) 201-1759. David schedules our meetings. We would love to see your project!
Also, if you are interested, “Like Us on Facebook”! Here is where we share our New Decorative Finishes and Project first!
Where are your Wow Opportunities?
“Bella says what do you Think… should we Meet and share some Ideas?”
David, Owen & Mark Nordgren – Bella Faux Finishes, LLC
Noun: The basic defining characteristics of a person, everything from talk, dress, hairstyle, demeanor, etc.
Now what is the Style of your… Home?
Would you like to create the “Wow Effect” in your Home?
Below, I will share “5 Ways” that you could raise the drama in your home and stay within your budget.
Here are the Five:“Accent Walls, Niches, Backsplash, Tray Ceilings & Columns”!
(1) Accent Walls – Every home has a Unique Accent Wall. Note – they are not always the first impression when you come into the room. You have to enter and then hold.
By leaving your mind open, the room will reveal to you, where the perfect wall is and why!
In my opinion, this is one of the most important walls in your home. By introducing the perfect Color, Texture or Effect, you definitely will raise the drama of the room.
Cost: Since the footage is small, whether you choose a Great Paint Color or the Perfect Decorative Finish, your total investment is very affordable.
(Note – The cost for Wallpaper is usually more.)
(2) Niches – Almost everyone has a Niche in their home. They are fun to build into a floor plan, but what do you do with them?
The space is limited and can truly be an Interior Design Challenge…
David and I have had the opportunity to introduce our Art on many Niches through the years. We have many ideas that we would love to share with you.
Cost: The Footage is very small, which will give you the freedom to explore almost any level of Decorative Finish.
(3) Backsplashes – Tile is used almost exclusively for backsplashes. They are very popular, creating a Contemporary Effect.
But if you are looking to explore a Unique effect, that is not commonly seen, we many ideas for you…
Cost: Again, your square footage is small, so your total investment will usually be less than tile.
(4) Tray Ceilings – Commonly know as the Fifth Wall, a Unique Tray Ceiling is one of our favorite locations to change the emotion in the room. Unfortunately, many Tray Ceilings today are rarely given much of a budget.
A crows foot texture or a paint color is sometimes all that is planned for…
I will share some photo’s from past projects below. We have a wide variety of Stunning Decorative Finishes that you can test on your ceiling for effect.
Tray Ceilings are Always a Wow Opportunity!
Cost: Again, square footage on a tray ceiling is small, so your investment is very affordable.
(5) Columns – Today, you will find that most columns are just painted… White.
Why? I think it is easier to just paint them and they still look good.
But I also believe the real reason is, there are not very many Artisans that marble columns.
The Art is very challenging to learn…
Since 2005, the Artisans at Bella Faux Finishes, have marbled many columns through the years. I will share a few pictures here.
Cost: Depending upon the finish that is chosen for the columns, the pricing can vary. We offer a variety of effects that you can surround your columns with. The cost of each finish varies, also the chosen effect for the Capitals and Base.
Well… that is it!
Five areas in your home that are unfortunately, not very high on the Interior Design Priority List.
Many times, with New Construction, there is very little budget left.
I understand that…
But after homeowners have settled in their home for a while, they will begin to notice their Unique Areas in their home and now have the budget to Wow their home!
