CP Decorative Arts Co.

Catherine is highly skilled and professional. She was delightful to work with and very flexible in dealing with frustrating scheduling problems in new construction, including picking up some slack from other trades and knocking out some painting that hadn't been done yet to prep for her wallpaper installation. She installed wallpaper and grasscloth in two rooms, including working around a tricky gap in cabinetry, and refinished a stained maple window sill in one of the rooms. The work came out very nicely, zero issues or complaints.

Catherine provided color consulting and painting as well as wall art painting in a panel over our fireplace. We found her to be friendly, professional, and a true artist. My husband and I were not totally satisfied with the first background color we decided on after the first day of consulting and Catherine was quickly able to adjust the colors to work for us. Her art above the fireplace was outstanding. It really adds to our living room decor!!

We had an unusual but small project, and Catherine stepped up to the challenge. We purchased our home recently and one of the draws of the home was a large wine room. The original owners hired an artist to do a mural on one wall and faux finish on the side walls, but the middle of the walls were left unpainted. We wanted the walls to be finished to blend with what was already there, and we wanted it done quickly so we could organize our cellar. Katherine cheerfully and professionally accepted the job. She amazingly matched the colors and faux finish seamlessly and finished it in a couple of days during the week we scheduled to have the work done. Her fee was also very reasonable. We would definitely hire her to do more work for us in the future.

Catherine did an amazing job with our wallpaper mural. She was very professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Would highly recommend her.

Kate painted our kitchen cabinets and bath vanities. Couldn't be happier with the quality and service. Very professional and experienced in painting wood finishes.

Catherine helped me find the best color combinations to use for my interior walls. She painted my kitchen, living room, master bath/bedroom and guest bedroom. I was extremely pleased with the quality of her work. Cheryl Scollan

Catherine did an excellent job for us! She refurbished a large fiberglass bear that had become faded and compromised by the outdoor elements. She took care to keep and improve upon the original artwork. It looks terrific! This was our second time working with her, too. She faux painted a large area in our home years ago and a wonderful bamboo mural. She is fast and her work, professionalism and talents are awesome! A pleasure to work with!

When I moved into my home 17 years ago, the living room had a gray concrete fireplace surround and mantle. It was horrible. Catherine painted it to look like limestone blocks, repeating the colors of the marble floor in my entryway. She has worked with me over the years as a “Color Consultant,” helping me choose the paint colors for all of the rooms in my house, as well as the exterior color. Over an arched doorway, between the kitchen and dining room she painted a favorite saying of mine, and over the stovetop in the kitchen a “vegetable basket.” In May, after I purchased some new furniture, Catherine used her expertise to choose the perfect shades of taupe for the interior of my house. She and her crew did all of the painting as well! She then put a slightly darker glaze on the fireplace, to add more contrast. It looks like real stone! My white kitchen cupboards were beginning to show wear, and Catherine took on the job of “touching” them up. She painted them so skillfully that they look like new! Now that her painting is done, my whole house looks clean and fresh, with “new” kitchen cupboards and a “new” fireplace! Catherine is an expert artist and painter!

Catherine did an outstanding job of assessing the restoration of an older home that I had listed for sale. As a Realtor, It was delightful to turn the selection, preparation and painting of a home that needed a "face lift" before market. Catherine worked quickly and in just few days updated this home that sold immediately for full price! Her work is excellent and I appreciate her professionalism.
