Holiday Decorating

The most wonderful time of the year!
Below is one of the trees I decorated for the Four Seasons Hotel in Westlake Village, CA.
 Having a creative tree top makes any Christmas tree charming and unique.

 Add personal items to your Christmas tree! Have meaning to your tree... remember it only comes around once a year!


I was honored three years in a row to decorate at the Ronald Reagan Library. This is the "Air Force One" Tree. Inspired with classic Christmas colors and ornaments. 
And the final result... drum roll please...!!!

Below is a tree I decorated for the Decor Store in Simi Valley. For many years now I have been the holiday designer in charge of more than 15 themes throughout the store. Come in this year for inspiration of your home!



I decorated a home for the Holiday Homes Tour which is a wonderful for Cancer Support. This mantel was just a small part of the entire home which was completely decorated for the holidays!!



Hand Painted Fireplace

This client wanted to have the look of walnut wood surrounding the fireplace. Instead of doing a complete demolition of it, I decided to paint the look of wood. It turned out great and the clients were thrilled of the hassle free process!
Below are some photos during my painting process. 



Another client had the same idea of making their white fireplace have a natural wood look. They also wanted the hearth to look like marble. After many hours of detailed work the fireplace ended up looking wonderfully inviting in their family room. 
Take a look at the before and after pictures of my hand painted designs!
