Got a great email a while ago… and thought I would share:
My friend Dawn Papandrea-Khan is an artist and decorative painter out of Putnam County & Westchester County, NY. She does exceptional Faux Painting and Murals. This one is for a big— little challenge. Check out this Green Faux Paint Bathroom.

"I have to say that this project was one of my biggest challenges yet. It was a very small space. I felt like I was actually getting claustrophobic at times. It was extremely difficult to maneuver my ladder. At points I gave up on the ladder and just stood on the counter top, until I fell off and almost broke my neck….
So, now three and a half weeks later, I have finally completed this wonderful project. By the way, It would've only taken 2 and a half weeks, if my client hadn't gotten the flu midstream. I never got it, thank God!
The color selection for the woodwork was not my idea, though I love how it came out in the end.
The client had the bathroom faux finished over 15 years ago and they wanted it re-done… but exactly the same as they had it (same colors and everything) So, I had to paint over the existing faux finish and mimic what they had previously. I added my own personal touch of course and the clients love it, so that is all that really matters anyway."
