The art and business of faux finishing has exploded in the past decade. New water-based products make applying faux finish techniques easy, efficient, and environmentally friendly. And, home decorating programs have taken the consumer’s "do-it-yourself" attitude to a new level. We dare to add color, texture, and style where we would never have considered before. It’s as though we’ve graduated from the little box of eight crayons to the big box of sixty-four–sharpener included! Inspired by all those colors in that large box of crayons, at MissElaineous we set out to provide that same inspiration to anyone interested. We offer customers the opportunity to do more than buy paint or wallpaper. From wall to furniture treatments that speak to your individuality, we equip the novice and the experienced artist with the tools, the confidence, and the spark of inspiration to create a unique environment starting with a little brush stroke and a lot of inspiration. With that large box of crayons – or in this case, with the right materials, environment, and encouragement – we believe anyone can become an artist. We encourage you to get messy. We require you to have FUN! At MissElaineous and School of Artful Finishes, we help you seek and explore your creativity. We combine our extensive training at some of the finest faux and decorative painting studios around the country with ideas of what we like and/or believe could be improved upon, MissElaineous offers you a learning experience that enriches and empowers. Through careful instruction and active participation, you will learn to create environments of your own. We use state-of-the-art, professional grade faux finish materials, color and texture products, and application tools. Our incredible designer paint finishes and techniques are definitely outside that box of 8. The studio offers the aesthetically inviting environment of the lovely tree-lined, historic village of Glendale on the outside, and the well-equipped classroom and handsomely appointed lounge, kitchen, and showroom on the inside. You’ll find everything you need–including refreshments that will keep you going–to learn and create dazzling designer finishes. And, that’s just touching the surface. Once you visit MissElaineous, you’re family – or in our case Faux Family. Through our Very Important Painter – VIP – internet forum you can stay connected long after your class is over.
