Hand-Troweled Texture
& Glazing
Visualize the walls of a centuries-old chateau in
the south of
France
. Hand-troweled texturing and glazing is the
most popular faux finishing technique.
The effect is classic, and mimics gracefully aged walls from historic
European architecture.
|
|
|
Faux Brick
Michael Graves’s textured, three-dimensional
faux brick fools the eye and the touch.
Some of Michael’s most popular brick color finishes include
Tuscan brick,
New Orleans
brick, and old
Chicago
style. Faux brick can be combined with sections of
hand-troweled texturing to create the effect of exposed brick peeking out
from behind old plaster walls.
|
|
|
Faux Stone
Picture the weathered and worn ceiling and walls of
an ancient French wine cellar. Raised
texturing and stucco patch are a couple of the ingredients used to create
this warm, and hardy, stone wall finish.
|
|
|
Embossed Stenciling
There are an infinite number of design possibilities
with embossed stenciling. Raised
stenciling over plaster walls creates a beautifully customized and artistic
effect. When used on cabinets and
furniture, Michael Graves embossed stenciling techniques mimic the look of
hand-carved wood designs.
|
|
|
Venetian Plaster
Venetian plaster is arguably the most elegant
replication of old world wall finishes.
The effect is achieved by hand burnishing Venetian plaster to a glossy
sheen, yielding the soft, luxurious effect of polished stone.
|
|
|
Faux Leather
Imagine leather-textured walls in a private study,
or a cozy cigar room. This is one of
Michael’s most exclusive finishes.
Burlap, plaster, and a proprietary finishing process are combined to
create faux leather wall finishes in a variety of rich colors.
|
|
|
Faux Metal Ceiling Tiles
Antique and reproduction ceiling tiles are very
desirable, but also expensive. Michael
has developed a technique using embossed paper to replicate the same look,
for a fraction of the cost, and in a variety of finishes (including rusted,
copper, and bronze).
|
|
|
Distressed Furniture & Cabinets
A layering of colors that appearing worn, distressed, and yet vibrant or rich is timeless,
durable and extremely popular.
Distressed painting is a fabulous technique for kitchen cabinets and
wood furniture.
