Muriel was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She transformed our pink countertops to a beautiful white marble faux stone. She was great at communicating throughout the entire process. Not only did she do exactly what we asked for, but her beautiful, high quality work exceeded our expectations. She is truly a talented artist and a master in her field. We will definitely hire her again!

Thank you so much Courtney and Steve! You were both awesome to work with too. Enjoy your new countertops!

This project was a joy from start to finish, Muriel painted my maple cabinets a lovely white, installed new hardware and painted 3 rooms, one with a cathedral ceiling. Her work is fastidious and beautiful! It doesn’t hurt that she is boatloads of fun to spend time with…I highly recommend!

Thank you so much for a great review. Such a pleasure to work on your home!

Muriel and her team have a eye for creativity and perfection. She finds ways to work with different materials and the out come is amazing. She is always learning and pursuing new techniques to master painting and carpentry. The outcome of every job I've seen her complete is amazing.

Kitchen remodel

Muriel is an artist. She is very dedicated to achieving the best result and will work very hard to get there. She worked on our kitchen for seven months so we got to know her and her work very well. She navigated through several setbacks. We couldn't be more pleased with her work. We plan on having her back for more projects.

Muriel is very talented, and has a great attention to detail. She plastered our fireplace, and did a beautiful job.

Muriel is a true professional with an eye to details, she also pays attention to details that are not in the work she was doing for us and gave us some good ideas, she is a hard working person and dedicated to her work, we are planning now to work with her regarding our kitchen counters that will fit all the work she has already done on our cabinets.

Muriel did a fabulous job for us, I would recommend her to anyone. All of the rooms in the house we bought had very dark colors and we wanted to brighten it up. Muriel came out to give us an estimate on Thursday and started the project on Friday. She is meticulous and thorough, with an extremely steady hand. The previous owners had cats so she lightly sanded the walls to remove the cat dander. She sanded areas of the ceiling and patched cracks. She removed every switch plate and replaced them when done. Patched all of the holes. Painted the ceiling as well as the walls. She even vacuumed up the dust from the project when she was finished! And the finished product is perfect. We couldn’t be happier with it. She started when she said she would and finished when she said she would.

Thank you so much for your kind review! Was a pleasure working on your new home in Upstate New York. Hope you settle in soon and look forward to seeing you again.

Margot

Muriel is fantastic, start to finish. Although she's well known for her gorgeous plaster finishes, I was in need of a good painter for a few rooms in a new (but old, 1850s) house I was about to move into. Muriel went above and beyond, caulking, fixing problems areas, and achieving that meticulous line between wall and ceiling which delineates the pros from the wannabes. She has great advice (and contacts) on just about anything involving interiors. Can't recommend her highly enough.

Thank you Margot for your kind review. Was a pleasure working on your new home in the Hudson Valley!

rjanelli

Muriel is an amazing artist! That is the best way to explain her work. The kitchen cabinets that she re-finished were absolutely stunning! I have never seen cabinets like that anywhere. What was amazing however, was that the finish looked like it was completed in a factory. The edges were crisp and the workmanship perfect. She also finished a bathroom in the same home and it was beautiful as well. I am sure anyone who hires her will be extremely satisfied.

Thank you Bob for your kind review of my work.

Feng Winham

She does what she says, and she does what she says with professionalism and perfectionism. I am a real estate agent and I manage bank owned properties. Muriel acts as my GC to service the lenders. The lenders are long-distance clients and they demand A Lot from us!! I have to say the stress level is high. Muriel handles everything coming our way. She is a great communicator, experienced , capable and very resourceful. With her help, I am carving out a niche for my business.

Thank you Feng, you're right, the stress level is high on these projects, for yourself included. We make a great team!

Jim Moore

I hired Muriel to repaint a faux stone fireplace surround that was in very bad shape. She stripped the old paint and put on a beautiful new slate finish with traces of bronze emerging from the main paint color. It looks so clean and lovely. The transformation is incredible, and this didn't really test Muriel's capabilities. She is a wonderful resource, and I'd recommend her to anyone seeking to upgrade their home for a very reasonable amount of money.

Comment from DOWN UNDER FAUX:

Thank you so much Jim. Was a pleasure to transform your fireplace for you.

Jeff Newman

Muriel is truly an artist! She approaches each job holistically and with an understanding of what products work best for whatever end result you have in mind. Her experience and knowledge of faux finishes is clearly extensive and she pays close attention to how things fit together to create a complete picture. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Commented: What is the paint color? Beautiful!This is a plaster finish that was tinted using Farrow & Ball's, "Stone Blue" tint. It looks different in paint to the color it reads in plaster. Hope this helps.

Commented: Can you tell me the paint name of the goldish wall? Thank you!Hi Glen, This isn't a paint on the wall, it's a custom venetian plaster with earth brown as one of the tints. Sorry, I do not have a paint color I can advise to match this finish.
