I'm Pleased to Announce....

 I am pleased to announce that Artistry by Nilha will be adding Faux Finishing to our list of services. The incredibly talented Bridgit Taylor of BTaylored Designs will be lending her skills to serve our clients better. Bridgit combines artistry, skill, and imagination to create a multitude of gorgeous finishes including Venetian Plaster, Wax, Reptile,Woodgrain, and Marbling.

When appropriate to the design, we will combine our talents.  For example, Bridgit might paint a textured background and I would add graphics to complete the look for a fresco. Or, she might "magically age" one of my newly painted murals. The ideas are endless!

Please visit her website at www.btaylored.com for more information.

Birch Trees

The homeowner loves the outdoors and particularly enjoys the clean lines of birch trees. What a great view to wake up to each morning!

Gated Terrace Mural

This trompe l'oeil mural depicting a wrought iron fence with stone pillars was painted directly onto a 4' high concrete block fence. The artwork brought new life and space to a dull and claustrophobic terrace.

Tropical Sunset

What a dramatic transformation this mural made to an already beautiful curved stairwell!

Beatrix Potter Nursery

As this baby grows, she will no doubt delight in the beloved Beatrix Potter characters on her walls. The pink striped personalized armoire completes the theme while adding additional storage to the room.

Roman Temple

The almost photographic quality of this 10' x 12' mural made a dramatic statement in this master bath/

Cincinnati Reds Themed Bedroom

What an awesome room for a young baseball fan! I enhanced the existing "Dugout Reading Nook" with trompe l'oeil jerseys and baseball equipment. Then, I added the open locker with more equipment. The best surprise in this room was that it was for a girl! When she was 3, I painted her room in an adorable "Dress-Up" theme. Five years later, the "girlie-girl" had completely changed her uniform!

Trompe L'oeil Bedroom Trellis

This trompe l'oeil trellis transformed this simple bedroom into a tranquil oasis. It won a national award in 2007.

Gazebo Dressing Area

This lovely space began as sort of a forgotten corner in a guest bedroom. With the addition of the trompe l'oeil gazebo, it became the focal point of the room and a hidden gem in an already gorgeous home in Atlanta, GA.

Ohio State Game Day

This wall is part of a 40' x 20' full room mural in Cincinnati, OH. The huge bonus room came alive with cheerleaders, the Ohio State Mascot, and vendors selling Buckeye goodies. At one end of the room, I painted the Ohio State stadium filled with fans. Try painting all those people! What a challenge!

"Best Friends"

This whimsical 3-drawer chest was inspired by the outdoors. A colorful hydrangea bush and tree stump act as the perfect meeting place for these two furry friends. It is currently available and would be perfect in a nursery or little girl's bedroom. Call for more info.

Football Player

New England Patriot Randy Moss runs for a pass in this lucky young boy's room.

Outdoor Pool Mural

These two photos are part of a large outdoor mural surrounding a pool in Montgomery, Alabama

Colorful Parrot

This parrot is part of a jungle themed nursery. The client wanted only "bits and pieces" painted, not a full room mural. The results were terrific!
