Bathroom Makeovers
31 Dec 2012 by Pat Ganino / 3 Comments
My family always advised me not to use a dark color in a small room, like a bathroom, because it makes a room looks smaller. It wasn’t until years later that I was working with an interior designer that I got a wonderful lesson I still hold onto today: You’re not fooling anyone – if its a small bathroom, its a small bathroom. So you might as well take that small bathroom and make it into the best small bathroom there is!

If you have a certain color you want to explore in a client’s home, just type in “Robin’s egg blue” or “neutral territory” and see what lovely images come up! I think Mark D. Sikes is brilliant. I hope he adds some new influences to your creative files.

Michael Lee Scott is described as “a painter, sculptor, dancer and choreographer”!! This is a true Renaissance man! His work is as diverse as his many talents. His clients seem to recognize his diversity as he is asked to do many different subjects. Whether it is the interior of an african safari tent or a child’s nursery with a big blue elephant, Michael is able to recreate the client’s vision.

Artisan Pages: Julien Gautier
26 Jan 2012 by Pat Ganino / 4 Comments
Julien Gautier didn’t set out to be an artist. His first passion was music and he was well on his way to becoming a professional drummer when an unfortunate accident during a band session left him with a condition called hyperacusis, or oversensitivity to sound. Having no choice but to give up music, Julien discovered a new passion in the world of decorative painting. Here, he talks about his journey so far as an artist.
