I met Jennifer Duchene on Twitter since we share similar tastes in books, travel and beautiful decor.  She is a re-designer and speaker who focuses on helping her clients “create delicious spaces with what they already own”.  This year, she released her debut book entitled Le Chic Cocoon: 7 Steps to Creating your Selfish Space, which became an Amazon.com #2 bestseller in the Do-It-Yourself and Decorating categories.  Le Chic Cocoon provides that in order for a woman to be her best self, she needs a space of her own in which to focus, dream, and be selfish — in the most positive sense of the word.  I thought to chat with Jennifer on her book and ideas — AND she has graciously agreed to give away a copy of Le Chic Cocoon to one lucky reader.  Excited? Let’s dig in…

Jennifer Duchene

Jennifer Duchene: That fateful weekend was when I decided I was going to write a book, I decided that if this life was a story, I was going to make it mine. Speak to my passions. Combine what I loved with my gifts. Create a marketing tool to move me out of being just another decorator in a sea of decorators, to a woman on a mission.  Own my space and give women a holding space to empower theirs.

I found a course through a friend to write my book in a weekend.  Actually it sounds crazy, but when I arrived at that weekend and started formulating ideas, things fell into place. I was inspired by Virginia Woolf and her book, A Room of One’s Own, and I use her quotes to begin every chapter.

I have been on a journey since [last] April that has changed my business. It has changed me.  After the weekend, I signed up to finish the book and publish by September and somehow I, with a little help of friends, family and mentor, made it happen.  I hit bestseller on Amazon and Le Chic Cocoon even trended on Twitter for a moment.  What a thrill and thanks to Twitter and Facebook friends and their invaluable support.  The book covers a couple of areas that I am passionate about. I believe every woman needs a space of her own.  A Le Chic Cocoon she can retreat to.  Women lead lives that are full of giving and doing, not so much for themselves. Surroundings play such an important role in how we live. I want to educate women about design and function and how spaces do shape us.

Some of the best moments have been when I got positive feedback for the first time and everytime since. When somebody tells me I have inspired them to create their own space or to rethink their life from reading Le Chic Cocoon, it is like a blossom opens in my heart.  Having the opportunity to go to Highpoint and meet Twitter friends and have them want to buy my book was an incredible high.  Winning the Excellence in Marketing Award and having the bestseller launch with friends coming from all over along with the support and love from the online community has been so powerful. Truly my book has transformed me for the better.

Whenever I go home to South Africa, I fall in love with the homes, restaurants and the shops I spy as I drift through the days soaking it all in.  There is a relaxed sophistication  that is both timeless and comfortable.  Charm in the unexpected and always clever use of materials and colors. A bold insouciance that is very sexy and individual.  Great flow of indoor and outdoor  space and a relationship to the people and culture. It is a very individualistic harmony that astonishes and delights.

I adore green in all its disguises.  Right now I am drawn to black greens.  Emerald, jade and poisonous shades. Bronzes, coppers and creamy chocolate browns.  I love shiny and matte, textured and smooth. A play with shape and textiles is very exciting to me.

I like natural items: wood or stone mixed with metal and perspex. Shells and bone and lace. Handmade, machine-made forged into new life. Beauty is in using the material to speak to our heart.

Actually I have an eclectic taste in art.  I love both quiet and vivid artworks.  I am drawn to art that is painted from the soul.  Those magic canvases that hold luminosity.  That portray the dawn or an exquisite landscape.

I am also drawn to the bright and happy works that vibrate with energy.  That swirl around us and gather us into the joy. That make our bodies vibrate to a silent music.  Art is so personal and so powerful.  Each piece to me is treated as a whole. A room should start with the art.

I would love to be on the Nate Berkus show.  I admire and relate to what Nate brings to the public about design.  How much our lives are controlled by our environments. How important living in spaces that feed our souls is. That we can create our cocoons to live in and from, right now. Nate Berkus has appeared to me in dreams, on billboards and moving bus stop signs so many times I am just waiting for the phone to ring and a voice saying “Nate Berkus is expecting you!”.  I would also enjoy being on a women’s talk show like The View.  I love the diversity of opinion and conversation the women bring to the set. The thought of sharing my passion for women to be selfish and create their own space is very appealing.

Thank you, Jennifer! I do find that most women find it hard to make time for themselves, much less carve a space out for themselves.  Imagine if we were selfish more often — truly gave ourselves the time we so freely give to others — how much we would discover about ourselves, our strengths, our potential?  I’m so glad Jennifer explored that theme and used the term “selfish” in a positive way.  You can read a few reviews of Le Chic Cocoon on Amazon or on blogs such as Brocante Home.  She recently spoke about book publishing on the Twitter #GetPublished chat — you can read the transcript here — along with a radio interview with Susan Davis of Good and Green radio show. You can also keep up with the lovely Jennifer via her YouTube channel and the Le Chic Cocoon Facebook fan page.  I hope you do check out her wonderful book.  Now, are you ready for your chance to win your own copy?

I love coming across inspired uses of finishes, techniques and pattern. Artist Jill Ricci states, “One of the most arresting visuals for me is an old wall layered with papers, graffiti and text — our modern hieroglyphics” — and you can see it clearly in her work.  Her artistry has such a great balance of texture, color and design.  I actually spotted it via the pins of Nena Garza-Sexton of Texas’ NCF Studio of Decorative Art.  Take a look…

Ms. Ricci is based in New Jersey and she is also part owner of the Parlor Gallery in Asbury Park, NJ.  She received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute in Chicago and a degree from Sheffield School of Interior Design.  She works primarily in mixed media on surfaces such as wood and canvas. Please click to enlarge the pics.

Her go-to materials?

Paper, acrylic paint, wax, Venetian plaster, fabric and leaf. She also likes glitter and glass beads as embellishments and uses them to add an unexpected contrast.

Evoking “an old wall in Morocco, a Renaissance Church, a NYC subway wall and Malibu Barbie all simultaneously existing on one canvas” is her goal and I think she’s succeeded!  Please note that some of her artworks are available for purchase; do check her website to see more of her gallery.  What I like most about her pieces is that each time you take a look, you find something wonderful you had not seen before — and you wonder how it escaped your notice.  Do you see something you like?

It seems that every time I do a post on the Pantone Color of the Year selection, I get a bit of a dual reaction: Delight or Dismissal. I think we all love what we love regardless of trends. However, there is a science to determining the color forecast for the upcoming year — and fashion, design and even marketing take their cues from this direction. I guarantee you that in the Spring you will see an abundance of the chosen color: Tangerine Tango.

Pantone calls it a “spirited, sophisticated reddish orange”. In a Casa Sugar interview, Leatrice Eisman, Pantone’s top color guru, talks about how this shade will breathe new life into the current color palettes — calling it “an orange with a lot of depth”.  She also explains how they come about the final top color decision – it’s pretty interesting to see all the aspects needed to take the temperature of the zeitgeist. Ms. Eisman does advise that the perfect rooms to use the color are kitchens and dining rooms but to also consider it as a perfect front door color.

So, what do you think of Tangerine Tango?  I like it — but then again, I do love fiery shades. It’s always been an accepted color in countries such as Italy, India and Indonesia, but there is no doubt that in the last few years, orange shades have blossomed into a popular option in our interior design schemes. They add joie de vivre to a room, in something as small as accents to as dramatic as walls or ceilings.

For instance, I love the variation in this gorgeous powder bath by Canada’s Barbara Rocha and also the staircase below featured in Slumber Designs…

…and even cabinetry.

BTW, the beautiful collage above was put together by Peggy Pardo — someone I’m excited for you to get to know very well, very soon.  I’ll have more details next week — be sure to look for it!  As to the final thoughts on Tangerine Tango, I do have to say that in years past, the word “economy” and “current financial climate” were part of the description of that year’s color choices, but this year bypasses that altogether and just mentions that Tangie (I’m getting all cozy with the color) has “the energy boost needed to recharge and move forward”.  I’m definitely all for that!  Have a great day!

Sheri Hoeger is the lead designer and director of Big Oak Arts Studio.  She also started her stencil company, The Mad Stencilist, back in 1992.  We were happy to profile her for our Portrait of an Artist series back in 2010.  She has kindly agreed to write about something she is quite known for: Stenciling with an Airbrush. It is truly a wonderful way of working with stencils, giving beautiful lines and blended color. Let’s dig in…

Sheri Hoeger:  The airbrush is an incredibly versatile tool that is capable of the softest shading, the finest line and beautiful displays of color. This is achieved by delivering a fine spray of paint to the intended surface.  I have always been fascinated with the combination of soft airbrushed shading and the wide variety of edges that are defined by using stencils and masks. A stencil is simply a sheet of holes that one paints through to make an image. A mask can be an edge or found object that is cut, torn or used in its entirety to create a shape.

The array of effects you can achieve with relative ease is one of the big advantages of using the airbrush. I enjoyed being able to keep a consistent look to this cow mural even though the vent was in the way.

To get started with airbrush you need a good tool and clamp holder, an air source and high quality paint, such as Golden Fluid Acrylics, which I use along with Golden Airbrush Medium for thinning to skim milk consistency. Also, try to set up a work area where you can leave your equipment set up and close at hand. Be cautious about using the cheapest airbrush you can find. A quality tool will set you up for success. There are many airbrushes on the market that are excellent and I find the Iwata Eclipse to be a workhorse of a tool and suited to almost everything I do. It is available in either siphon-feed style or gravity feed styles.

For most of my airbrushed stencil work, I layer several colors within each window starting with the lightest and working to the darkest. I generally alternate between warm and cool colors with each color covering less area than the color before it. This allows you to see the full range of hues that are created by that particular combination and there is also a muting effect that tones the colors, which makes them look natural. I load an airbrush for each color, which are attached to a manifold, which is attached to my compressor. I usually use no more than 4 colors for any given design such as the floral shown. As an example, a floral like the one shown here is airbrushed with four colors: yellow, green, red, blue. (The one exception being the robin’s egg blue, which could not be achieved with the 4 color palette used in the rest of the composition.) The different tones and values are achieved by the order and ratio of the colors being layered.

Objects can be painted to look cartoon-like or stylized, like the image below.

Realism can also be achieved depending on the colors used and level of development.

I also enjoy combining airbrushing with other techniques and materials. Here, I extended the faux stone fireplace to create an arch with a gritty plaster and stenciled stones made from torn tape. Once that was dry, I added color and shadows with airbrush. In the same project, the airbrushed stair rail led to an archway adorned with a striped drapery.

For the cherubs (above left), I used airbrush to delicately shade the skin tones, but brush painted the hair with Golden Proceed Slow Drying Acrylics to give it more texture. (Cherub Stencil by Jeff Raum) I also appreciate the ability to allow a natural surface to show through the paint, becoming part of the artwork when airbrushing on wood or stone (above right). Click on images to enlarge.

Another of my favorite techniques is to use natural foliage as masks when airbrushing trees and landscapes. This dining room mural was created using a variety of leaves, some large, some small. Even though it is a “negative print” your eye makes it into a positive when they are clustered together.

Even though they look monochromatic and sepia toned, I have used at least three colors to give the foliage more depth and interest.  I love sepia tones, and have several ways of rendering them. In the airbrushed Renaissance border shown here, all the shading is done with one color which provides the values and undertone. Then I lightly spray with soft color, giving the appearance not unlike a hand-tinted photograph.

Finally, sometimes airbrush is the answer to a technical problem. For this painted ode to a William Morris tapestry, I cut a stencil of just the darkest brown background areas, including a pencil-line thickness cartoon of the design, because airbrushing was the best way to transfer the pattern onto my textured base. From there. the tapestry could be hand painted.

I hope this article gives you an inkling of the striking appearance and versatility that is at your command when mastering the airbrush. Of course, this is only pertaining to using stencils, and many more uses are possible when using the airbrush freehand for clouds, finishes and fine art. The sky is the limit!

Thank you, Sheri Hoeger for sharing your time and talent!  Please note that if you’d like more information, keep checking her workshops page because as Sheri says, “It can be very helpful to take a class in airbrushing basics or intermediate airbrushing, as there are some tips that will help you along and save a great deal of time.”  She also has videos and books she has created and/or participated in on her website page.  You can also find the company on Facebook via the fan page, Big Oak Arts.  I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s post — love how it’s chock full of information.  Hope you are having an inspired week!

Please note that all stencils are from The Mad Stencilist line unless otherwise indicated.

Hello, gorgeous ones!  Did you have a good weekend?  Mine was eventful and culminated in a Janet Jackson concert last night. (In fact, at one point in my life, I wanted to be a tour dancer — I love to dance like no one’s business. Too many beautiful careers, only one life.)   In driving the hour to Tampa from Orlando to see the concert, my brain was remembering all the pics I’ve taken during recent travels, consults and projects that I haven’t shared yet.  So, we launch the week with one of those.

We were recently called in on a consult for some light work at the Waldorf Astoria in Orlando.  As soon as I walked in, my heart soared. A beautiful hand-painted dome ceiling that measures 54 feet across spans most of the incredible lobby.  Underneath, there is a handcrafted clock that gives a nod to the iconic lobby clock that sits in the original Waldorf Astoria in New York.

This is an image by Hollywood Woodwork who did all the gorgeous custom trim surrounding the dome and the hotel itself.

Most of the walls, columns and certain ceilings are glazed and the whole effect is stunning.  Couple that with the wonderful aromas that greet you when you enter the hotel (I read somewhere that it was a mix of blue mint, eucalyptus, bergamot and marigold), and you have an idea of why the Waldorf Astoria is one of the premier luxury hotels.  Ah, almost forgot — I took a few pics for you.

An online travel review described the ceiling as stained glass but in my opinion, it is hand-painted.  It’s simply incredible work and I wish the images did it justice.  If anyone knows the artists who created this beauty, by all means do let me know.  The Waldorf Astoria Orlando was designed by SFA Design and opened October 1, 2009. I hope we have the opportunity to do a bit of work at the hotel but even if not, it’s a pleasure to visit, explore and stay there for a spell.  Have a great day!

During the IDAL convention, I went by to see my friend Ed Mattingly’s class during a break. A nearby set of boards immediately caught my eye and I asked, “These are great! Who is the artist?” and he replied, “Ali Kay”. I kept her name in my head for future reference. Little did I know that I would also admire her artistry while she was working on the convention’s philanthropic mural. Then, I saw her projects on FB and thought ,”Three times. That’s it. I’m contacting her – she’s phenomenal!” I hope you feel the same way. Without further ado, Ali Kay of Houston’s Positive Space Art.

Artist Ali Kay

Ali Kay has been an artist from day one.  She started painting murals for  friends  and family in high school and went on to study fine art at the University of Milwaukee Wisconsin.  After her graduation, she spent time in Rome and Florence to not only study but also absorb art history.  She officially started her decorative painting company Positive Space at the age of 19 in 2003 and in 2010, she and her husband moved from Milwaukee, WI to Houston, TX.   The new environment proved to be a valuable change for her company and she has had the opportunity to work with many talented designers and artists in the growing city.  In fact, Positive Space is an active industry partner with ASID and one of Ali’s murals was recently recognized at the Gulf Coast Chapter’s  annual awards banquet under the category of Best Wall Treatment.  While her work has always focused mainly on mural painting and fine art, she is now branching out into the world of faux finishes and decorative plasters.

What are some great products you’ve come across lately?

My favorite new product is the artist paint by Proceed. I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve been using cheap quarts of wall paint for my murals for years and now that I’ve been introduced to this new paint line, I will never go back.   It obviously costs more but the results are worth it.  It dries so slow it’s almost like oil paint and it blends beautifully to create easy shading.  It also stretches so you don’t need to use a lot of it to cover a large space.

What have been some of the most fulfilling projects you’ve been involved with?

About a year ago, I was asked by a designer I work with if I would be interested in doing a pro bono mural for a local family. The mother had lost her arms and legs due to a devastating complication from giving birth to her daughter. A foundation had been created and the community had helped to purchase a house for the family. After meeting them and doing the mural for her daughter’s nursery, I couldn’t help but do murals  for their other two children as well. The family was so appreciative and kept thanking me. I felt like it was very little what I had actually done. It was so rewarding to be able to do anything to bring joy to someone who had been through so much. It was a much better payment than I could have received from any client.

What’s the best piece of professional advice you have received?

I think that the best piece of profession advice I have received has to do with my greatest struggle: pricing out work.

I was told not to focus so much on “How long is this going to take me?” but rather to ask myself “What is this project going to be worth when it’s completed?”.

Often times a project might not take a great deal of time, but may bring an incredible amount of value to the home or business and you should be compensated for that.   On the opposite end, there are projects that seem to take forever and the end product does not show it. Those are ones that I might decide to pass on.

In your travels, what have been some of the most inspiring spaces you’ve seen that had decorative painting?

In college, I took a short art history course in Italy and we visited Pompeii.   I was so amazed at the technical level of the art.   It’s incredible me that these ancient people were using atmospheric perspective beautifully.   When I think about the work of the middle ages and how primitive it was, it seems unbelievable that these people thousands of years earlier were so much more skilled at representation.

This collage includes custom finishes and selections from her Contemporary Cubism series and mosaics with painting incorporated.

What photograph or image really moves you?

I little over a year ago I came across photos on Facebook of orphaned children in Haiti. The images were so powerful that I asked the woman who posted them if I could have permission to paint them.  She happened to be the director of a mission in Aquin Haiti, Haitian Helping Haitian, and knew these children very well. These paintings turned into my “God’s Children” series. These are some of my favorite paintings I‘ve ever done, because the photos I used were so heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. I think what drew me in most was the look of the children’s eyes as they stared at the camera. About 6 months after I made the paintings, I went to Haiti and got to meet the same children I had been painting.

What is the first work of art you remember creating?

There are so many it’s hard to nail down just one as the first. My mom kept everything I did and I think by the time I was in high school she had filled a refrigerator box in our basement. One that sticks out in my mind though was a drawing I did of my grandparents when I was probably about 6. I had them pose for me at the kitchen table.

One of Ali's first works of art. She was six.

Her pro bono projct must have been so satisfying — imagine helping bring so much joy to a family that desperately needed it! I’m also glad she was able to travel to Haiti to visit with the children she had been painting. What an incredible experience that must have been! A big thank you to Ali for working with me to put this profile together. Please do stop by her website, Positive Space Art, to see more of her beautiful work. I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s profile and found it inspiring. Have a wonderful weekend!

The reason I enjoy writing Fauxology is because I love showcasing how incredible decorative painting and faux finishing can be.  There is no doubt, however, that our industry has changed and evolved due to the current times.  Many artists have found other avenues to supplement their lives while maintaining their sense of creativity — and Boston artist Susan Siefer is no exception.  I thought it would be great to hear about her journey and how she has moved beyond the walls and added an incredible new direction to her studio offerings.

Susan Siefer: You could say I am returning to my roots. I started out as a fiber artist, fabric designer and painter. I was then hired as a store designer by a large retail furniture company in the Boston area. I painted walls at a time when decorative painting (well…faux painting) was just becoming popular.  We had a team going from store to store creating beautiful walls and vignettes. After about 15 years, and many, many large walls later, it was time to go out on my own and I started MadPatter Production. That was in 2002, the year my first granddaughter was born. I have been lucky to have some great clients that have  inspired and encouraged me to create fabulous walls, ceilings and floors.

Working with designers and clients, it seemed there was a disconnect between artful walls and art on the walls. I am fascinated by the relationship between Architecture, Interior Design and Art. With a little understanding of all three, I  have created canvas panels using Modello Designs, leafs, foils, plasters and glazes to compliment some of the wall finishes. They were applied with hot wax on the back…much easier than wallpaper paste…and they were framed out with frames and moldings from Beaux-Artes.

Frames and moldings from Beaux-Artes showcase panel artwork.

Running has been a constant for all of my adult life and I often get my best ideas and clearness of thought when hitting the roads. One day last spring was no exception: I thought “Why not implement this same concept on a small scale that could be interchangeable art?”. I’ve always liked the idea of multiples and the idea of changing a throw pillow, a lamp or any decorative accessory. Thus, Change of View© canvas were created.

Change of View© Studio

I use the products I love…Venetian plaster, leaf, foils, metallic plasters, stencils from Royal Design Studio and Cutting Edge, among others, and apply onto the flat canvas.  I have them in my Etsy store and they are carried at the boutique Soirée in my town of Andover, MA…

Painted furniture and artwork featured in the Soirée boutique.

…and, of course, in some of my client’s homes.

I chronicle the story of the process on my blog, Change of View (at the Studio). When people start playing with the pieces, they really have a good time mixing and matching. I am working with a marketing person that has been a great help. It is a really interesting process.

My wonderful clients and designers do keep me in the game with some interesting and fun projects and it pays the bills. I have found an amazing company to help with implementing my finish designs in a couple of larger commercial commissions that recently have come through. I am also excited about a collaboration with my good friend and incredible designer and color consultant Linda Holt of New Light Redesign. (Check out her amazing blog).  We are absolutely in love with Annie Sloan Chalk Paints and have become paint groupies.

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Dressers

We have spent the summer and fall painting repurposed pieces of furniture that we find, pick, buy and beg. The name of our business is Chalk It Up!  and we will soon have a Facebook page and site. We are rather yin and yang, and bring our own different and unique talents to the table (literally!). I am excited to be taking an ASCP workshop with Barb Skivington next month. 

Showhouse mudroom we did together to highlight paintings and furniture.

I am also moving into a new workroom space with other artists and designers in the beautiful new Mill District just north of Boston. There is a common space I will be using for workshops and seminars on paint and design. I was fortunate to see the Alexander McQueen show at the Metropolitan Museum in New York last summer and the beauty of his fabrics and materials got me thinking about fabric design again, so who knows? Maybe that’s also part of the future big picture. Thanks to Regina, I have been inspired to enter the social media foray and am muddling through as fast as I can! Finding a community of like-minded creatives, I know we will get through these challenging times together and figure out our own vision for the future.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Thank you, Susan! It’s great seeing many artists have found ways to supplement their lives with their artistic talents and collaborations. I know our company did something similar when we branched into alternate surfaces. It has made all the difference; I’m sure it will for Susan! I hope today’s post has inspired you to take a hold of those ideas that pop up in your mind begging to be fulfilled. Have a wonderful day!
