Mike Feiler has only been in
the interior faux finishes industry for two years but has an "edge" with his
thirst for knowlege and his desire for perfection. A 3 month long project for a client, resulted in walls that sport 6 different faux finishes with extreme variety. Textured leather, strie with pearl glaze, venetian plaster and distressed wood offer the client complete variety and extreme detail. Two different colors of venetian plaster create a "one of a kind" finishes that Mike is proud to say that he's developed himself. Aged, distressed wood walls (which started out as the plain, white variety we all have in our homes) are outstanding! Even his "exposed" brick accent lends realism to the Italian finish of plaster. Mike may be relatively new to the industry, but he's on his way to becoming not only respected but BUSY! Congratulations Mike! Keep us posted on further creative commissions and much success to you! If you are interested in having Mike create something wonderful on your walls, you can find him in the "Hire a Pro" section under "Ohio". Designer's tip: Though Mike's process of distressed wood walls would be highly involved, you can create a similar effect by painting your wall one color, applying another color over the top. Once dry, using a very fine grit sand paper, lightly sand the wall just here and there and only enough to expose the under layer of paint.
