With one visit she listened to my idea, got a feel for my decor, and came up with a plan. Within a week, Marie-Pierre painted a beautiful mural that I am so proud of and happy with. She works consistently, quietly, neatly, and makes sure along the way that you are satisfied with the results. I cannot say enough about this experience. Thanks so much Marie-Pierre **Comment from Marie-Pierre Ayoul Decorative painting:** > Thank you Susan for trusting me with this wonderful challenge. It was a lovely project. **★★★★★ — Jocelyne Flament, July 2019** > I contacted Marie-Pierre to take on a special project. I wanted to paint the laminate floor in my foyer in a checkerboard pattern. She completed the floor on time and on budget. She is a professional artist who was willing to discuss options to achieve the result I wanted. She was truly a pleasure to work with and I would certainly recommend her work. **Comment from Marie-Pierre Ayoul Decorative painting:** > Thank you Jocelyne, the pleasure was mutual, I'm really happy we were able to embellish your home even more with this project! **★★★★★ — Sophie d'Oriona, Nov. 2018** > I have hired Marie-Pierre to redo my dinner table which had been completely spoiled previously. She did an amazing job. She understood exactly what I wanted, gave me the right advices and completed the work in the time she had given me. She is completely reliable and very competent in her trade. I highly recommend her for her awesome work. **Comment from Marie-Pierre Ayoul Decorative painting:** > Thank you Sophie, I'm so happy that together we were able to create the right solution for your table. I hope you enjoy it for years to come! **★★★★★ — Tom Peel, June 2018** > We had an excellent experience working with Marie-Pierre. She is very professional and meticulous. The work she did for us was incredible. We love our newly-painted wooden table that matches our chairs exactly thanks to her! > Thank you Marie-Pierre! **Comment from Marie-Pierre Ayoul Decorative painting:** > Thank you Tommy for your trust with this fun project! **★★★★★ — Karin A., March 2018** > Marie-Pierre has a sharp eye, works diligently, efficiently, and quietly. She's also very pleasant. She helped me with three projects: > > 1\) Marie-Pierre did a fantastic job on my fireplace. She was able to make ordinary cement look like additional tiles to match the original incomplete tiles. > There were also serious cracks on the floor in front which she managed to have disappear. > > 2\) We also have an original brick wall that we had uncovered by removing it’s plaster layers 38 years ago. Over the years and with the new construction it had been damaged and some bricks replaced. She was able to fill in the gap‘s and touch it up so that it now looks the way it was originally. > > 3\) Our newly finished oak floors had to be sanded and re-stained after our new island was already installed. This left areas where the old stain was not completely obliterated. > Marie-Pierre was able to touch up the floorboards beautifully so everything looks great. > > Highly recommended. **Comment from Marie-Pierre Ayoul Decorative painting:** > Thank you Mrs A., it was a pleasure to work in your house and meet another artist! **★★★★★ — Adelson Design/ AD, Feb. 2018** > Marie Pierre is a talented artisan, professional in preparation, execution and reliable to a fault. I have loved working with her on any and all projects we have embarked on together. Her work is of the highest quality. **Comment from Marie-Pierre Ayoul Decorative painting:** > Thank you Cynthia for your business and your appreciation, the feeling is mutual. **★★★★★ — Lynn H., Oct. 2017** > Marie-Pierre is a magician with the paintbrush. She transformed a vintage headboard that was painted in a garish shade of gold into a warm, antique gold that harmonizes perfectly with my bedroom decor. I'm delighted with the result and recommend her highly! **Comment from Marie-Pierre Ayoul Decorative painting:** > Thank you Lynn for your trust. It was a fun project and I'm glad it worked out so smoothly. **★★★★★ — Sarah Caille, Oct. 2017** > Marie-Pierre is a true professional who draws on her artistic background and wide experience to do amazing work. I'm sure there is no finish, effect or repair that she can't turn her hand to. She listens carefully to the client's needs but isn't afraid to make suggestions, she is reliable, stays within budget and works to the highest standards. She has undertaken several projects for me and I look forward to working on many more with her. **Comment from Marie-Pierre Ayoul Decorative painting:** > Thank you Sarah, it’s a pleasure and a privilege to work for you. **★★★★★ — Jennifer Boire, July 2017** > Marie-Pierre is a very talented artist and painter. We love the special work she did on three walls of our powder room, following the style suggested by the designer. the epoxy top on our "wounded" vanity cabinet fits perfectly with the new look in the same powder room. The work was completed on schedule, in budget and superbly done. **Comment from Marie-Pierre Ayoul Decorative painting:** > Thank you Jennifer. Thanks to your designer's vision we were able to create a dreamy atmosphere and a waterproof and elegant countertop to make your powder room take on a new identity. It was certainly a unique project, thank you for your and Jacques' trust. **★★★★★ — Lena Belli, June 2017** > We were referred to Marie Pierre by a real estate agent that had some work done by her and came highly recommended. We wanted to repaint our kitchen cabinets but we were looking for additional knowledge as to the process. We contacted Marie Pierre who came to look at our kitchen and were immediately impressed by her knowledge, professional advice and suggested colors. We hired her! Best decision ever! She came through as a real pro, the final product delivered exceeded our expectations! Our kitchen looks brand new and everyone who visits asks the same question, who did the work? She works in a very neatly fashion, cleans up after herself and met both our deadlines and budget! Her passion for her work is reflected at all stages of the process! No details were left unattened and if we could rate her higher than 5 stars we would! Bravo and thank you Marie Pierre for giving a new life to our kitchen!!! We will surely hire you in the future and don't ever lose your passion for what you do, this is what makes you so unique! **Comment from Marie-Pierre Ayoul Decorative painting:** > Thank you so much for your comments, Lena. It was great working for both of you, you being very clear about what you wanted and open minded with my suggestions and Tom being so helpful with all the extra handling. I'm so glad you appreciated my approach and that you have the fresh kitchen you wanted to match the rest of your space! **★★★★★ — Sarah Levasseur, Jan. 2017** > Extraordinaire ! Superbe ! Mme Ayoul a peint une reproduction d'une plaque d'acier brut sur notre cheminée moderne. Le résultat est magnifique et au delà de nos attentes. Au départ, nous étions hésitants à utiliser un faux fini, croyant à tord qu'il était réservé au décor classique. Quand nous avons vu l'échantillon qu'elle nous a présenté, nous savions que nous étions entre bonnes mains, avions été écoutés et compris. Je vous recommande fortement de contacter Mme Ayoul pour un travail de grande qualité. Tout a été effectué dans les délais. De plus, Il est facile de la rejoindre, elle retourne rapidement les appels et est à l'écoute de nos besoins. Nous n'hésiterons pas à l'appeler si d'autres projets nous viennent en tête ! **Comment from Marie-Pierre Ayoul Decorative painting:** > Merci Sarah > Je suis tellement contente de lire votre commentaire, et que l'équipe de Houzz aie enfin réussi à l'afficher! Merci de m'avoir donné l'occasion de créer un nouveau fini et surtout d'avoir pu rajouter un plus à votre intérieur, là où les solutions commerciales ne rencontraient pas vos besoins. C'est un plaisir et un privilège de pouvoir travailler avec des gens ouverts et créatifs qui ne reculent pas devant les obstacles pour réaliser leur vision. A une prochaine fois peut-être! **★★★★★ — Elena elena, Jan. 2017** > Marie-Pierre transformed my condo to an amazing urban and cozy place. She's very creative and has extraordinary ideas. She's also very nice and gentle person. It was pleasure to interact with her during the project. **Comment from Marie-Pierre Ayoul Decorative painting:** > Thank you Elena for your trust and for being such an ideal client. I'm very happy we found a way to transform your home with cheerful colours and a couple accent walls, and I love that you appreciated my suggestions for storage and display. ## Selected projects - [Chic dining room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chic-dining-room-pj-vj~5808004) - Location: Mount Royal, QC - Photos: 4 - [Transforming and refinishing](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transforming-and-refinishing-pj-vj~120922) - Location: Westmount, QC - Photos: 39 - Description: Some furniture, lighting or decor accessories just need a bit of help to fit in or to come alive. - [Transforming a foyer's ambiance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transforming-a-foyer-s-ambiance-pj-vj~5807933) - Location: Montreal, QC - Photos: 2 - [Steel fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/steel-fireplace-pj-vj~5564639) - Location: Sainte-Julie, QC - Photos: 3 - [Rejuvenated kitchen table](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rejuvenated-kitchen-table-pj-vj~5473228) - Location: Montreal, QC - Photos: 2 - [Oak kitchen rejuvenated](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oak-kitchen-rejuvenated-pj-vj~3011643) - Location: Montréal, QC - Photos: 2 - [Matching table](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/matching-table-pj-vj~2926114) - Location: Montreal, QC - Photos: 4 - Description: Matching a modern wood table with traditional cerused oak chairs, through colour and texture. - [Les Erables](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/les-erables-pj-vj~654148) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [glam](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glam-pj-vj~122259) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: Different projects done with silver or gold leaf, metallic foils, metallic paints, and glitter. - [Faux Steel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/faux-steel-pj-vj~2283273) - Location: Longueuil, QC - Photos: 3 - [Beaconsfield powder room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beaconsfield-powder-room-pj-vj~2581793) - Location: Beaconsfield, QC - Photos: 5 - [Antique mirror and gilded woodwork](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/antique-mirror-and-gilded-woodwork-pj-vj~794216) - Location: Montréal, QC - Photos: 4 - [Epoxy finishes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/epoxy-finishes-pj-vj~2215849) - Location: Dorval, QC - Photos: 3 - [Concrete](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/concrete-pj-vj~2198506) - Location: Montréal, QC - Photos: 3 - [Powder rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/powder-rooms-pj-vj~120950) - Location: Montreal, QC - Photos: 13 - Description: A variety of powder rooms I've done over the years.

Thank you for your appreciation. I designed and painted this mural for my clients, so unfortunately you cannot buy it. I can come and paint something similar in your home if you like, though. I'm in Montreal, Quebec, but I can travel. **Q: wax** *(in Photo Questions)* what type and color of wax did you use A: Hi debdemars. I used a transparent wax. **Q: Allkyd paint vs Chalk Paint/Kitchen Cabinets** *(in Polls)* HELP! Refacing kitchen cabinets and am not sure if I should go with traditional painting of cabinets or try to Chalk Paint. I will be hiring someone to do the work for me and I truly want a smooth, custom/factory like finish. Any advice and experience with either method appreciated. A: What did you end up doing, karenannev? **Q: The Lighting is Beautiful where did you find?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I believe it was bought at Ambienti in Montreal but I'm not sure who manufactures it, I only made the mirrors for the customer who owns the house. **Q: prix au pied carrer** *(in Photo Questions)* Bonjours. je suis contracteur general specialiser. Votre travail m'interesse. pour le look vieillot comment cela fonctionne et combien charger vous. A: Bonjour M. Dubois Merci de votre intérêt, voici comment je fonctionne en général: D'abord je rencontre les clients qui ont un projet (ex: une salle de bains dont les murs ont besoin d'un fini décoratif), ou bien le designer ou le contracteur qui veut vendre mes services; je montre mes échantillons, si quelque chose plait je donne un prix, si le prix est approuvé je demande un dépôt puis je fais des échantillons sur mesure si nécessaire. Quand l'échantillon final est approuvé on se met d'accord sur une date de chantier, la balance de la facture est à payer à la fin. Les prix varient selon les finis, la taille des pièces, les matériaux impliqués. Pour un look vieillot il y a plusieurs types de finis, alors c'est dur de vous donner un prix. Je vous invite à me contacter au 514 965 0681 pour plus d'informations. **Q: Wax finishing** *(in Photo Questions)* Beautiful job on re-finishing. I have done a large piece with the same paint color. I t turned out great, but I just can't get the wax to look even. Every place I look online has different suggestions. So frustrating. Care to share your technique? Would greatly appreciate any tips. A: Thank you :). I just applied the wax with a stiff paintbrush and buffed it with a dark rag (white rags were leaving white fluff stuck on the wax). But I think it's a given that the wax will not look even, especially on dark colours. I had problems with the countertop, you can see it on the picture. In case you haven't done so already, you can check out this website, this lady is an expert on painting and waxing: http://4theloveofwood.blogspot.ca/p/how-to\_9274.html Good luck! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
