Murals, faux-finishes, and tons of inspiration from the talented Allison Cosmos

When I was back in high school I used to make extra money by painting murals - mostly in kids rooms. It was rewarding but very,very hard work. So I have a deep appreciation for people like Allison who are so talented - and tolerant of sore necks!

Allison Cosmos is the artist who completed these murals and gorgeous faux finishes. Which is your favorite?

Those curtains are painted on the ceiling!

"A Scalamandrie toile inspired the hot pink & orange color scheme on these guest bedroom walls. Tiny orange lines on white create shading and depth "

Love the crisp contrast of the geometric pattern on the floor - and that you can still see the wood grain through it!

"Around the fireplace, a soft botanical garland gently falls from the top. The walls, ceiling, moldings & floors received color-washed & dragged finishes. "
