“Think Bella!” – “Everybody”… Should Take the “Bella Wow Test”! Compare the Cost of “Furniture” vs “The Perfect Decorative Finish”. The Perfect Faux Finish will Create more Wow’s for Far Less Money Every Single Time! It isn’t even a contest…”

Free… “Bella Wow Checkup!” – Every Home or Business should Call or Text…… “Bella Faux Finishes – Artisan – David Nordgren” at (605) 201-1759 to schedule a Free… “Bella Wow Checkup”!

(Sorry… for the wordy blog this month, but I think it will give you some New Interior Design Insights. Better get a cup of coffee first though…)

Furniture Stores – Before you pull the plug and spend your entire budget on New Furniture and Accessories, I would encourage you to compare which will create the most… “Wow’s”, when friends and family visit your home.

I am not saying… don’t buy any new furniture,  just set aside some of your budget for “The Wow Effect”!

It is so easy to pour all of your capital into one store and still not create the drama you are looking for on your project.

If you Don’t Budget for “The Wow Effect” – don’t be surprised if your Home or Business isn’t creating the Drama you were hoping it would.

Dollar for Dollar, The Perfect Decorative Finish introduced on a Unique Opportunity in your Home or Business will create more Wow’s than any Couch, Wing Chair, Picture, or Accessory.

It isn’t even a Contest!

First Step, Reserve a small portion of your budget for Bella Faux Finishes and “The Wow Effect”.

Next, Call or Text David to schedule a Wow meeting. When we meet, we will help you identify where your Unique Opportunity is in your Home or Business.

Then after testing many samples of Decorative Finishes from around the world, it will become obvious to all,  which sample is creating the most drama and Wow with your other Furniture, Drapery, Carpet, Colors and Textures!

Next, we will take pictures and measure your area.

Your pricing will be emailed to you in 1 or 2 days…. It’s that easy! 

From there, you can decide if introducing Art from Bella Faux Finishes is “Perfect for your project or Not”.

Whatever you decide, at least you have tested New Interior Design ideas which will increase your odds of creating a “Wow” project!

Don’t take my word for it, read some of the Testimonials we have received through the years or view some of our Project Pictures.

Also, take the Wow Test for yourself, just listen to your Friends and Family comments when they go through your home. How many Wow’s did each room get, the Table Lamp, Wing Chair or Sofa?

Are they pausing… and trying to figure out the effect you have on your Column, Ceiling, Wall, Niche or other Unique Opportunity?

What are the comments your are hearing? Remember keep track of the Wow’s!

Do you hear comments every time someone visits your home?

Again, I am not saying… don’t buy new furniture,  just set aside some of your budget for “The Wow Effect”!

“The Wow Effect” is created with a Deep Understanding of the principles of layering…. “Color, Texture & Effect” through out your project.

When you go to a Furniture Store, you will receive Free Interior Design assistance from some very talented people. Their goal is to help you coordinate Furnishings, Fixtures and Colors. They are very good at this and invaluable on a project!

Interior Designers – make their money selling Furniture, Accessories, Draperies, Carpets and Wallpaper. ($$$$$)

Interior Designers – do not make any money suggesting that you should contact a Decorative Artisan and introduce a Unique Decorative Finish on your project. ($0.00 – No Money Incentive)

Home Builders & Contractors –  are the same. They are phenomenal at coordinating the building process and assisting you with those decisions. They make their money on building quality homes and repeating the process. ($$$$$)

Home Builders & Contractors – do not make any money suggesting that you should contact a Decorative Artisan and introduce a Unique Decorative Finish. This additional cost would come out of their bottom line. ($0.00 – No Money Incentive)

At Bella Faux Finishes, we Specialize at creating… “The Wow Effect” on every project. Look at some of our past Project Photos or ask around about our Art.

We have been studying and applying the theories of laying “Color, Texture and Effect” since 2005.

This is a fascinating process that if successful, can control the pace and mood of a room.

The Project Pictures, Testimonials and Comments we have received on projects tells us how we are doing with this very Challenging Art!

“Bella Wow Checkup” – Identifying the Perfect Location in your Home or Business for a Unique Finish is not as easy as you would think.

We have been invited to hundreds of projects and have had relationships with hundreds of Decorative Finishes through the years.

This Specialized Insight, Knowledge and Experience gives us a Big Advantage when the project goal is to create many Wow’s through out the Home or Business.

Note – We are not a big fan of introducing too many Decorative Finishes everywhere! This usually will smother any chance your project had of Capturing and Stirring the Drama.

We Love Paint! Bella Faux Finishes will help you select the perfect paint color for your project…
