Design & Décor: JUST TO CLARIFY .

. . and clear up any confusion. I LOVE wood. It has a natural richness that says "quality". As a result, I am often asked to PAINT architectural details to make them LOOK like wood. ...»
These surfaces can be made out of ANY substance. . . drywall, MDF, trim moldings, plywood, previously painted cabinets, etc. I can match ANY wood species in ANY color.

These photos are almost like a game of "Where's Waldo". Try to guess what is the REAL wood and what is the PAINT. The answers are on the captions. If you don't believe me, I will gladly send you the before photos. Have fun.
