Faux Tortoise

Working with Bryan O'Sullivan of Wellen Construction, Heidi Bianco of Celerie Kemble Design and Greg Kahler of Paper Hanging and Design, Lena Fransioli painted faux on 41 separate trim pieces, making them look like the surrounding wall coverings.

The Tortoise was the most striking and also the most time consuming.

Lena also painted Wisteria on AC vents and speaker grills. The speakers are tricky because we don't want to clog the holes and effect the sound quality. Greg suggested the solution of using compressed air to clear the holes periodically during the process.

Thanks to my friend David Stoffregen, I am adding his photo of the light and AC Vent installed


Thanks for reading and have a happy healthy spring.
