Just as an artist is unique in his or her brush strokes resulting in a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, Paul and Julia bring their own, individual artistry to the centuries-old tradition of European finishes. They work one-on-one with clients through a discovery process leading to solutions that transform spaces into stunning showcases. Paul spent his early years as an apprentice to a local artisan, learning the craftsmanship and artistry necessary to create the time-tested finishes used for centuries to a stunning, award-winning affect. With decades of experience, he has finely-honed his skills, and delights in finding new ways to use traditional finishes. From precisely matching an existing color, texture, or finish, to creating custom finishes for an outstanding impact, Paul has the vision to create an outcome that clients will delight in for years to come. Originally from Latvia, the capital of Art Nouveau style, Julia has spent countless hours traveling throughout Europe studying and admiring the finishing techniques of the masters. Julia focuses on the details. From stitching delicate fabric welting, to ensuring a space is spotlessly clean upon project completion, she oversees every element that makes a space a cohesive piece of art. She ensures each project runs smoothly and that the end result meets the high Steffes Studio standard. Paul and Julia see themselves not only as artisans, but also as problem solvers for their clients, offering a sophisticated aesthetic, as well as an unmatched sense of honesty and diligence. ### Services Provided - Interior Painting - Ceiling Painting - Door Painting - Wallpaper Removal - Color Consulting - Cabinet Refinishing - Wallpaper Installation - Decorative Painting - Texture Painting - Faux Painting - Wall Stenciling - Wall Upholstery ### Areas Served - Milwaukee - West Allis - Wauwatosa - Brookfield - New Berlin - Greenfield - Franklin - Mequon - South Milwaukee - Cudahy - Whitefish Bay - Greendale - Shorewood - Glendale - Brown Deer - Saint Francis - Hales Corners - Fox Point - Elm Grove - Bayside - West Milwaukee - Butler - River Hills ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Steffes Studio | | Address | 3472 N.

They did an incredible job making recommendations and with the final work product. I could not be happier with the results **★★★★★ — sylviacarlevato, May 2018** > Paul and Julia are the absolute best! They are both very skilled and talented. They wallpapered and painted for me and having been through many other wallpaper professionals and painters, I can honestly say, hands down, they are the best. I would give them my highest recommendation. My wallpaper and paint looks amazing! **Comment from Steffes Studio:** > We appreciate your feedback Sylvia! It is always a pleasure to work with you! **★★★★★ — Kris F, May 2018** > Paul and Julia wallpapered my dining room recently and did an excellent job! They were on time, clean and perfectionists. They were also very reasonably priced. I would definitely use them again! **Comment from Steffes Studio:** > Thank you so much for your review Kris! We appreciate your business. **★★★★★ — cgrove17, May 2018** > Paul did an amazing job installing a large scale printed, designer wallpaper in my powder room. The paper had to be trimmed and pasted; the seams were perfect. He was responsive and timely and very professional to work with. His pricing is very fair and the quality of work is superb. **Comment from Steffes Studio:** > Thank you for your review, Carolyn! We appreciate your business. **★★★★★ — Kim Shea, May 2018** > Paul and Julia are very professional, punctual, and do an A+ quality job. Paul was very responsive (often hard to find), and we got an installation date on the books just a day or two after I initially emailed him. The best part (other than the top quality wallpaper installation), was that Paul and Julia didn’t need anything from me (like my time!). I showed them the rooms and the wallpaper, and that’s all they needed. They brought everything else, and didn’t bother me with a single question while they wallpapered 5 rooms! I would absolutely hire them again- they have me thinking if I need any other rooms wallpapered! **Comment from Steffes Studio:** > Thank you for your review Kim! We hope you love your beautiful new home. ## Selected projects - [Blue and White Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blue-and-white-kitchen-pj-vj~3169672) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Nautical Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nautical-bedroom-pj-vj~3169647) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Marble Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marble-bath-pj-vj~3169631) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Green Wallpaper Entry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/green-wallpaper-entry-pj-vj~3131492) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Yellow Dining Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/yellow-dining-room-pj-vj~3131489) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Blue and White Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blue-and-white-bathroom-pj-vj~3131482) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Library](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/library-pj-vj~3128626) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: Custom wood graining adds a richness to this library/home office. - [Rustic Home Bar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-home-bar-pj-vj~3124961) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Lake House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-house-pj-vj~3125034) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Woodwork Restoration](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodwork-restoration-pj-vj~3128572) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: We brought this gorgeous home back to life by restoring the ornate woodwork and hanging wallpaper. - [Upholstered Walls in Blue Floral Fabric](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/upholstered-walls-in-blue-floral-fabric-pj-vj~3125048) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: We upholstered the walls in this whimsical room in a gorgeous blue floral print fabric. - [Modern House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-house-pj-vj~3124954) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: We stained the woodwork and painted this fantastic modern home. - [Marble Bath with Metallic Cabinetry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marble-bath-with-metallic-cabinetry-pj-vj~3125041) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: This master bath is especially unique with wallpaper and a custom metallic finish on the cabinetry. - [Red Toile Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/red-toile-bedroom-pj-vj~3125043) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - Description: We upholstered the walls in this bedroom with red toile fabric. - [Pink Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pink-bedroom-pj-vj~3128595) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Venetian Powder Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/venetian-powder-room-pj-vj~3128591) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Yellow Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/yellow-bathroom-pj-vj~3128582) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Upholstered Walls in Blue Stripe Fabric](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/upholstered-walls-in-blue-stripe-fabric-pj-vj~3125052) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: We upholstered the walls in this bedroom in blue and white stripe fabric to coordinate with the bedding.
