**Featured in Home & Design Magazine! The inspiration for this unique project draws on the clients’ love of Paris and the city’s vibrant romanticism and mix of architectural styles. Our challenge was to elevate builder-grade finishes in a newly-constructed townhome to create an urban retreat with aged patina for this young couple. Soft industrial elements were layered over Old-World inspired details on nearly every surface for maximum impact. We added rustic wood ceilings and industrial beams to create drama, texture, and value throughout. A Parisian-inspired glass/iron wall divider relieves the open concept floor plan, creating a more intimate seating space. Oversized pendants of steel, blown glass, horsehair and faux horn provide soft illumination while drawing the eye upward to architectural ceiling details. Custom midnight blue built-ins create a library that frames the entry and study. The deep and dramatic color palette of paint and wallpaper that adorns the walls is a vibrant mix of cobalt, citron, teal and smoky lavender. Light pours into the rooms from the large windows, reflects off the oversized acid-wash mirror, and forms dramatic shadows on the walls, setting the mood for this home.

COA transformed this San Francisco home into a more beautiful, spacious, light-filled and comfortable space by redesigning the back of the house to create an open format kitchen/dining area with modern amenities. Helynn Ospina Photography

Photo of painting in process in the entry. Kept the entry walls and ceiling white, to allow the other spaces in the great room to draw the focus. The front doors shown here were not in great shape, so the owner asked to have them painted. We chose to paint them in the same deep blue color used in the living room. *** Hired to create a paint plan for vacation condo in Belize. Beige tile floor and medium-dark wood trim and cabinets to remain throughout, but repainting all walls and ceilings in 2 bed/2 bath beach condo.

Photo of painting in process in the living room. Primary wall for entertainment center in the living room painted a rich blue with accent paint in seafoam green on the adjacent wall and ceiling areas of the alcove. The same seafoam color was extended to the beams in the ceiling of this space and also used for the ceiling in the adjacent dining area. The deep blue color of this wall was also used for the interior of the front doors in a high-gloss lacquer. *** Hired to create a paint plan for vacation condo in Belize.

Photo of painting in process in the kitchen. The kitchen was painted shades of terra cotta and a sandy, clay color, and the ceiling was painted white. Existing cabinets and terra cotta tile backsplash and countertops were not being changed, so we leaned into the warm tones there and brought blues and greens into the adjacent spaces in the great room. Recommended replacing dated ceiling light with coastal-styled chandelier or ceiling fan. *** Hired to create a paint plan for vacation condo in Belize.

Perfect for Staging! I love the Wall Peel! It just made this room pop and the Manager and team thought it was fantastic as well! The 2nd photo I attached is the opposite wall from the dining room, so you can see how the wall peel really ties all the colors in these two rooms together! The wall was painted with Flat Latex paint, so I believe you said this type of paint will be OK for adhering. Thank you for the support when I called, that was very much appreciated! Thank you again!' Cindy S., Delaney Park Apartments - Tallahassee, FL Due Season II www.MagicMurals.com
