Mural Installation...a sneak peek on how it's done.

The other day I posted on some amazing murals and here is one from our on-site job that photographer, Dan Derby provided...if you'd like to see the slideshow, click HERE. Also, if you'd like to see some great wedding and portrait work, click here.

If you live in New England and would like to have a mural painted for your home, please email or call.

Fabulous Putti

I have always loved old Putti and Cherubs... and the limewood carved ones are most Divine. I am going to start a collection of them for my store. Most of these are from 1700 - 1850. Some of them are from Churches, other are from private homes and collection in Europe.

Sweet Faux Bois Furniture

These sweet Faux Bois pieces were created the old fashioned way.... by hand-applying concrete over a metal frame. This rustic style is organic feeling and moves with ease to both outdoor or indoor settings.

To buy these beautiful Faux Bois furniture items, please visit my newly launched online store: J Covington Home

Price ranges from $600 - $1000 for chairs and $1100 to $1950 for benches. The console table is $950 and small side tables are available.

Gorgous Hand Painted Wall Murals

There is something magical about the fluidity and gracefulness of something hand painted, and these canvas wall murals take your breathe away. They have a soft airy nothing that makes you feel relaxed and happy... like when you're having a picnic except you're in your home. We have used her for a number of design projects - one will be featured in Accent Magazine this spring and another is soon to come.

This is what design luminary Charles Spada once said, "I'm not a fan of wallpaper, I've never been a fan of wallpaper. It's so automated, so mechanical. I love murals (because) you see the artist's hand..."

I've had this folding mural in my store as a prop for years and I love it!

One of Susan's great charms is that she works with you...do you want a horse or a squirrel in it - no problem! And of course you can take the work with you if you decide to move...isn't that a treat?

So call her up to beautify your home.
