Close-up shot of finish applied to what was once a white laminate cabinet. CRAZY!My St. Louis favorites list is growing, this time with DeirDre Krotz, faux artist, who does the most amazing treatments with paint. Her company is called Crazy Walls.
I first became acquainted with her when I took one of her classes and she has since done work for my clients.
Her most recent work transformed a plain laminate cabinet to become a stunning old-world piece. Crazy!

AFTER (above) DeirDre does her "crazy" magic. Same cabinets, no joke. These are laminate, but you would never know.I can't tell you how many clients ask me if they can paint laminate.
Yes Susie, you can! And DeirDre can help.
If you live in the St. Louis area and would like to learn how DeirDre and I can transform your furnishings, your walls and any paintable (not a word, I know, but I like it) surface, give me a call: 314-276-1129. If you live elsewhere, fly us out!
I find the whole DIY culture of repurposing and enhancing the old rather than junking it for new very fascinating, especially in economic times like these- it's where innovation is really born.
ReplyDeleteDana,
ReplyDeleteMy cabinets are dark cherry - arts and craft style - only three years old - not enjoying how dark they are, how easily they get scratched. Come to Calgary - I need your magic!
