Is it… Bella Faux Finishes or Bella “Fox” Finishes?

We have heard so many of the Guys pronounce “Faux” as Fox.  Interior Design just isn’t high on most men’s want list.

The ladies usually are more interested in the final Interior Design decisions. But not always…

The correct pronunciation of “Faux” is shown below. It is a French word meaning false or fake.

So…Do You Really Need – Bella Faux Finishes?

No, Faux Finishes and Decorative Finishes in your home, are a Want and not a Need“.

But One Question though, do your Friends and Family tell you how much they Love your Home, asking many questions and wanting to borrow some of your Interior Design Ideas?

Is the Interior Design of your home brought up in conversations, over and over?

“What really is… The Wow Effect?” – Someday, somewhere down the road, you will be going to a restaurant, vacationing at a hotel or visiting a friends residence.

On that day, from what you are viewing, your appreciation for Great Interior Design, created by layering … Color, Texture and Effect, will change your opinion about Decorative Finishes and Faux Finishes… Forever!

You will feel a warm intense emotion, the moment you enter the room. You will look around, all of your senses will be heightened,  your curiosity about what you are seeing will tug at you and then you will unknowingly express this unique experience by Quietly Whispering…. Wow! (Have you experienced this before?)

So my message this month is, No… you do not need Decorative Finishes, Faux Finishes or even Fox Finishes. But if you would like your home to be unique from everyone else’s, then you may want to explore the idea…

I just want to open your mind to the possibilities… of introducing a unique Decorative Finish or Italian Venetian Plaster in your home.

Marbled Columns…. Who doesn’t Love to View, Touch and Ponder the movement of various marbles.

Capturing the color tones, the depth and how the veining intertwines… layers around each other, curling, moving and hiding is truly a “Visual Feast” for the eyes!

The Historic Art and Techniques of Marbling – From the the very first day of marbling, I knew this was going to be an Art that I would love for many years!

David and I, have had alot of fun with columns through the years. But there are many challenges, such as determining the best top coat to seal, protect and enhance the marbling. This seems like a simple decision, but there are many options available, but not all will create the effect or depth you are looking for.

Also, when you discover a marble movement and layering that you Love and then trying to recreate this movement with a brush or trowel, is not always easy.

But it’s all part of the Passion and Love, learning this remarkable historic Art.

Through history, there have been a variety of methods and perspectives on how to approach the Art of Marbling.

The most famous are the Italian Style and the French Style.

At Bella Faux Finishes we specialize in both styles, many times, combining their techniques to create a Unique Marble Finish.

The Artisan Tools that we use:

(1) Trowel – Italian Venetian Plaster or Italian Finishes. Both of these methods can create a real marble finish or textured marble finish by painting with a trowel.

(2) Variety of Brushes – Here you have more freedom to create a variety of effects. We have many different brushes and Artisan tools to move and create magic with a dab of paint…

Lets Talk about Your Columns –  Do you have any “Naked Columns” in your Home or Business, that are begging for attention?

Don’t be afraid to give us a call. We would love to meet you and your columns and share some ideas and possibilities in the world of marbling.

Our company is Bella Faux Finishes. You can reach my son David and I at Contact Us or Request a Quote.

To learn more about working with Bella Faux, you can read some of the Testimonials we have received through the years. We look forward to meeting you and hearing your story someday!

Below, I will share some pictures of marbling, various projects and some of the people in our lives that are special on this… Valentines Day month.
