A b o u t  G r a c e
As a girl she repainted the bathroom so many different times, it got
smaller. Grace once wallpapered the hallway with sewing patterns; it was
a serious "learning experience." Clearly, she had wonderfully forgiving
parents and a passion for design.

At the Rhode Island School of Design, Grace majored in industrial
design and loved every minute of it. However, after graduation she
realized she would rather not just make more things, but take the things
we already have and make them better.

And what could be better than a completely custom wall treatment?
Grace delights in matching the right style and technique to the right
client and room. Each project is different, allowing for creativity in every
direction. Her commitment to excellent customer service and attention
to detail has kept her painting since 1997.

You were a crowd pleaser, and you gave me my start.
I thank you, faux finish, you made work for my art.

Hiding our finger prints, and our scuff marks as well.
"Is that wallpaper?" They ask, it's just so hard to tell!

You're foreign to pronounce, yet quite easy to do.
A trend that is over, so sad...but so true.

You peaked in the nineties, back when phones had a cord.
You used to be awesome, but now we‘re just bored.

But like any fine trend, you will likely return.
And I will paint you again! (If my joints do not burn)
