Decorative Finishes | Faux Painting | Decorative Textures 

You have a vision for your space, and the details matter. Whether it's a layered texture that quietly changes how a room feels, or a dramatic surface that stops people in their tracks, we hand-craft every finish to bring that vision to life.

Serving homeowners, designers, and hospitality clients, we specialize in decorative wall finishes that deliver the depth, warmth, and character that ordinary paint simply can't.

Designed for
Residential & Commercial Spaces

No two spaces are the same, and neither is our approach. Every finish is developed with your environment, your vision, and your people in mind. From the intimacy of a private residence to the ambition of a high-end commercial environment, decorative finishes have the power to shape how a space feels and how people remember it.

What Our
Customers Say

You two are AMAZING!

Dear Leslie and Stephanie,

I want to take this opportunity to tell you both how overjoyed I am with the painting, staining and faux painting you did in my new kitchen and family room! Your designer’s vision, insight into my personal style and needs, and the incredible skill at your craft yielded absolutely beautiful results! You two are AMAZING!

You painted the walls in several rooms without spilling a drop, my new French doors were stained perfectly to match the dark wood of the kitchen island. And you literally saved me hundreds of dollars by “repurposing” and faux painting my existing tables – to perfection! I love my redecorated kitchen and family room!

Everything is simply beautiful – and absolutely perfect!

Thank you again.

It’s a work of art!

Recently, our house was painted and we added new wood shutters and a front door. We looked around for faux wood and real wood garage doors to match the shutters and front door. The prices quoted to us were from 10K to 20K. Our garage door worked fine and we did not want to incur this cost. I contacted Leslie, at Absolutely Faux, to ask about the possibility of painting the door to look faux wood. The BEST phone call I could have made!

They were professional, friendly, prompt, and not to mention phenomenal at what they do. The door is absolutely beautiful and has people stopping and asking where the wood door came from. They are shocked to find out it is faux because the artistic expertise in creating the wood look is incredible. They were able to match what I wanted and gave me a beautiful door to finish the house.
