decorative art

Have you been searching for that perfect accent piece? Do you want to transform a room, without the commitment of a full finish?

Look no further! Patti Halstead also creates custom decorative art.

We offer murals, fresco painting, custom canvases, wall hangings, accessories, artwork, furniture re-finishing, gilding, mirror patina, and much much more. This includes interior and exterior features of your space. We typically use canvas for walls and ceilings, but floors, countertops, mirrors, furniture, and more can also be turned into works of art.

See mural examples by Abby Kent.

The appeal of our decorative art is that it is uniquely yours. It is built to your specifications, to blend with or stand out from your existing decor.
