Is it real?

For lack of better terms, part of my techniques are called "faux" finishes. This is a French word for FAKE. But, when you want to add VALUE to a home, it shouldn't LOOK fake. One of the barometers I use for success is when people can walk right by an architectural feature and never guess it is only paint. Many of you have already seen how realistic my wood grain techniques are. But, here is another one. . . marble columns!
