High Style Finishes

I wrote about the Faux Expo 2011 back in September.  In the post, I mentioned the Double Down workshop taught by Sheri Zeman of Chicago’s Faux Design Studio and Donna Phelps of the Sarasota School of Architectural Finishing.  I had actually hoped to take the class but didn’t sign up because I was unsure of my schedule at that point.  I ended up visiting both Sheri and Donna while they were teaching the workshop and each took a moment to show me their samples in person during a class break.

To say that I was devastated that I did not take the workshop would be an understatement.

They were some of the best samples I’ve seen in a long, long time.  They were fresh, they were contemporary, they were hot.  I literally wanted to gather them all up and run away with the pretties, all the way home, and never give them back.  I controlled myself but my friend Mary Childs had to console me.  Feel free to ask her.  It took me quite a bit to get over losing out on the one-time class.

I found out Sheri Zeman was teaching another class at The Paint Factory, an excellent studio here in Orlando.  This time she is solo but, of course, I’m taking the class and I couldn’t be more excited.  Here are three of the eight finishes…

I’ve only heard great things about Sheri Zeman and her studio has been on my Must-Visit list.  It seems they consistently teach finishes that help elevate what we offer to the savvy clients and designers of today.  The class was organized by the three Florida IDAL chapters: Florida’s Golden Palette, Southwest Florida Decorative Artisans and the Professional Decorative Artisans.  Many thanks to them for putting the workshop together! The class is November 18th & 19th.  I’ll be doing a round-up but also hope to provide pics for you as the class progresses.  Be sure to check our Facebook fan page and Twitter stream for that.  Talk soon!
