Carlyle Walls & Ceiling Treatments - April 2010

The "Great Space" is finally being transformed from a house...
 into a home! Warm colors and inviting finishes from walls to ceiling 

are succeeding in making this large space cozy.

Early Spring at Winter's End

Bringing plants indoors as a harbinger of Spring 

always makes the long end of Winter more bearable.

Force-Bloom Your Spring!

One of the most enjoyable events of Spring for me is 

force-blooming flowering branches from my neighborhood. 

The Magnolia is blossoming beautifully, and

The Forsythia rarely disappoints.

"Adam and the Forbidden Fruit"

I’m proud to say that just today, this print was donated to 
Persad's "Celebrate Life, Celebrate Art" auction, 
scheduled for May 10th at the Carnegie in Oakland.
This archival-quality gicleé (high-end digital ink-jet print) on 

canvas is a copy of the original faux fresco that I created in 2002 
as an homage to Michaelangelo’s Sistine Chapel image.


My fresco was first displayed at The Pittsburgh Junior League 
Show House; soon afterwards, it was captured by 
our official photographer,  Michael Robinson, 
who rendered it onto a 4x5 transparency, 
which was then scanned and printed by Mark at
Alpha Screen Graphics, Pittsburgh.
The original canvas is 30x40," and has a companion Eve, 

which can be seen at JenniferRempel.com. 
We have decorated each canvas with unique cornucopian 
frames of dried flowers, herbs, and mosses, 
which will brown with age.

Carlyle - Testing Decorative Ceiling Panels on site

This complicated project has led to many designs in the studio, 

and is culminating with us pinning and taping the actual strips 

onto the ceiling in the client's space as a test prior to installation. 

So far, so good!

Carlyle - New Decorative Ceiling Panels

Here's a photo album of decorative panels commissioned by a wonderful couple from the West Coast for their new condo, now being decorative-painted by us in the classic Carlyle building downtown. Best part of the story? The couple not only fell in love with Pittsburgh, they are now faithful members of Steeler Nation.
