Thanking God and counting our Blessings! David, Michael and I have been so fortunate to be invited to share our Art & Passion on so many fun projects. Our Artistic Goal is always the same for every project, Large or Small. Create something remarkable that will Raise the Drama of the Home or Business, complimenting the other Colors, Layers & Effects in the room, creating the ever elusive… “Wow Effect“.

This is not always easy to do, but the challenge is what makes this a Fun Career! Visit our Before & After Gallery  for ideas. We have a variety of Textures and Colors to share, Italian Venetian Plaster, Italian Finishes, Faux Finishes & various Decorative Finishes. We are a Sioux Falls, South Dakota based company, but travel the Midwest for Unique Projects. Including Dakota Dunes, South Dakota, Sioux City, Iowa, Omaha, Nebraska and Minneapolis, Minnesota.

So here is my challenge to you. Look around your Home or Business and give each room a grade for… Wow Effect!  Identify which rooms are sleeping in Effect. Now… choose One Room, to explore the possibilities of introducing a new Color, Texture or Effect. Which room would it be?

“Ok, you have your Homework for the Holidays.”

Enjoy this Thanksgiving like you never have before! Throw all past disagreements or slights in the garbage, start fresh and show your family and friends how you really feel about them. Count your Blessings and be Grateful for everything in your life. The Challenges and the Opportunities.

I will share a video of our “Ideas & Philosophy“ for Interior Design. You may want to grab a cup of coffee, this one will probably put you to sleep…

I will share a short video again, of some previous projects, where David, Michael & I had fun introducing a unique Color & Texture, changing some common walls to … The Wow Effect!  Are your walls begging for attention?  We have some Unique Ideas for… “Your Project“.

They Key to creating Drama is…. Texture! Change the Visual Topography of your walls and watch the Magic Happen. It is that simple!

The Texture can be anything from Fabrics, Woods to Decorative Finishes, Faux Finishes, Italian Finishes and Italian Venetian Plaster. Important – Clear you Mind and consider all of the possibilities. Then… Test New Samples to determine the effect.

Finally, Set your Interior Design Goals for your Project…  Very High!  If you are willing to settle for the common, guess what you will be presented with?

By High, this does not mean your investment will be high, you are just looking for new Interior Design ideas to create something unique in your home or business. Carefully choose your Interior Design Team and then have some Fun! You are searching for… The Wow Effect!

“Every Home or Business deserves a Room, that quietly Whispers… Wow!  Which Room or Office have you been thinking of … Waking Up?”                              – Mark Nordgren

Great Interior Designs are created by taking Risks and Breaking away from the common and testing New Colors, Texture & Effects.

“Every Home Deserves a Room that Quietly Whispers… Wow!” – Mark Nordgren

Since 2005, Bella Faux Finishes has been helping Homeowners discover unique areas in their home, where they can create a higher level of drama. Most of these locations were just painting over to match the rest of home. Sleeping opportunities, waiting to be revealed…

If you have lived in your home for more than a year, you have involuntarily established patterns and preferences. Blind spots will set in and identifying where your opportunities are to create some drama, will be very challenging.

To create “The Wow Effect” on your project, it is really important that you bring New Eyes or Fresh Eyes to your project. They will be seeing your project for the first time, which always makes it easier to identify where your …Wow Opportunities are.

If you would like some New ideas and are interested in viewing samples of Color, Texture & Effect, we would love to meet with you. We have many samples of Faux Finishes, Italian Finishes, Italian Venetian Plaster & Decorative Finishes.

The process is easy, click on our Contact Link or Request A Quote link and we will schedule a meeting time. There is no obligation, we will just share some ideas on your project and listen to your ideas for home and what emotion you would like to create. We are Great Listeners!

Homeowners:  Now, The Hard Part for you, is to break out of your comfort zone and schedule an appointment. The meetings are usually short. David and I will leave you with many ideas for your home, that you may not have considered. Our Art may not be for you, but then again it may be the perfect effect you have been looking for. Either way, I think you will be glad that we met.

Again, there is never a hint of obligation. We are just honored to have the opportunity to meet with you and share our Art! Visit our Gallery for ideas and also Click our Before & After Photos to view the change in Drama. Also to learn more about us, click our Testimonials to read what past Clients have said about their experience with Bella Faux Finishes.

Here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and in Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota and the Midwest, our Winter just kept… Going and Going. A brutal April Ice Storm that hung on for days, ruined many beautiful trees in our city. Everyone is still cleaning up and discovering their Grand Trees, which took years to mature, are not as Majestic as they were before. Two of ours got toppled, hopefully they will recover. Pictured here, David is cutting a tree for us.

Spring is also the time for New Home Construction and Remodeling Projects. New Colors, Freshly Painted Walls and New Decorative Finishes! Are you in the early stages of your New Construction or Home Remodeling project? Would you like to share some ideas for Color, Texture and Effect in you home? We would love to meet with you, see your project and present some new samples of various Decorative Finishes, Faux Finishes, Faux Painting,  Italian Venetian Plaster, Venetian Plaster and the popular Italian Finishes.

I have attached a picture of a Fun Coffered Ceiling.  A Crows Foots texture was on the ceiling before. This is an earlier picture of Italian Venetian Plaster on a Coffered Ceiling, edges are not detailed yet and final Gold Mica Powder Effect has not been applied. But I wanted to share just an idea, of how you can Create some Drama, for a Minimal Investment. The footage is small here and our Decorative Finishes are based on the Square Footage. Since the footage pictured here is minimal, your investment is affordable for almost any budget.

Since 2005, David and I have been fortunate to be invited and trusted with the final layer of effect in many homes.

Are you tired of your old paint colors? Is your home missing “The Wow Effect”? Are your interior Paint Colors, Decorative Finishes and Wallpaper losing their drama? Here are Three Easy Steps, that will change your old home to a… “Wow Home”:

(1) Interior Paint Color – Changing your paint color:  Choosing the new interior paint color is your singular most important interior design decision. Every layer of color, texture and effect will have to blend and compliment this decision. This decision is often made quickly, resulting in a less than dramatic effect.

(2) Identify Where your Interior Design Opportunities are:  There are many unique areas in your home, that present Artisans with opportunities to introduce a unique texture, color or effect.  The hard part here is to identify where these opportunities are. If you have lived in your home for a few years, you have developed Blind Spots and it is critical that you bring Fresh Eyes to your project, to help you identify these areas. You can also visit our Gallery to help you discover these areas.

(3) Interrupt the Sense’s – This is the Key to creating “The Wow Effect”:   Think about it, if your home and colors are looking like every other home, then your Wow Meter is not pointing up. When you see your friends and neighbors standing and admiring one specific area of your home, you know you have created “The Wow Effect”. If everyone that comes over, goes on and on about this area, you know…  You Did It“!  Just by introducing one more unique layer of Color, Texture or Effect, that is not commonly seen, can change your entire project. Trust me… it Works! We have seen it happen so many times.  Read  or Watch “The 7 Interior Design Mistakes”.  Also click our FAQ link to view some common questions.

If you are looking for New Interior Design Ideas for “Color, Texture and Effect” and would like some help, we would love to meet with you! We have Interior Design Ideas and Decorative Finishes that can keep you on budget and still create “The Wow Effect”. If you have heard about Bella Faux Finishes or have seen us on Home Ideas TV, its time to meet. Review our Testimonials to read the thoughts from previous clients and projects.

So… put the Coffee on, pick up the Phone and give us a Call. Lets Share some Ideas, have some fun and create a little magic on your project! We are great Listeners. You can also reach us on the Contact Link. David and I are looking forward to meeting you…

Also, follow us on Facebook, where many of our projects are shared first.
