About

Welcome to Carol’s Walls of Faux, specializing in custom faux finishes located in Northern Virginia. Your walls should represent the personality of you and your family. Whether you want to create old world charm with a look of Tuscany, a beautiful formal room with embedded Lusterstone or Venetian Gem, maybe a simple glaze or perhaps a stenciled border, let me create the look for you. The possibilities are endless.

I have studied at the Finishing School in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, under Studio Director Carol Kemery, The Faux School in Frederick, Maryland under Studio Director Ronald Layman and again at The Faux School under guest instructor Barth White of Barths Faux Studio in Las Vegas. I have also trained with Adrienne van Dooren of Creative Enterprises in Alexandria, Virginia and Melanie Royals of Royal Design Studio in San Diego, CA.

Some of my work has been published in Elan Magazine, Paint Magic Magazine, and in the book “The House That Faux Built: Transform Your Home From Shabby to Showplace Using Paints, Plasters & Creativity”. While working at the House That Faux Built, I worked side by side with various nationally known artists from around the world.
