Custom Artwork Services in Annandale, VA

“My husband and I are pleased to review and highly recommend our artist, Tom from Wow Effects. He is the most professional home interior decorator that we have ever met for painting. His attention to detail is incredible, we have no qualms recommending him to any employer for any artistic paint job. He had a vision for what we had described that was actually more accurate than we could have come up with on our own. He offers inspired suggestions. He did an artistic faux finish with an antique, old-world but spa-like feel in our master bedroom and bath. He did a faux finish, gold dining room for us and he did a collegiate, nostalgic mural thru-out our home gym. Now the whole house gets us rave reviews and gives us so much pleasure. He is a perfectionist and immaculate. He is trustworty and hard-working. You will not regret his help with any artistic painting project you desire for your home.”

“We commissioned Sandra Iafrate to paint a scene we wanted to capture permenantly from Tuscany. Sandra suggested a few ideas including doing the painting as a triptych, which was the route we chose. We were so pleased with the way it turned out.! The painting was beautifully done. The experience of having a professional artist capture something of special meaning to you, is a wonderful one.

He has great skill in creating beautiful and detailed art of the natural world with scientific accuracy. He is wonderfully pleasant to work with, listens well to the client, and incorporates the client's subtle verbal or written descriptions into vivid artwork, and when needed he will offer helpful suggestions to make the final product serve the audience better.”

“We have been working with Carol Beach of Tudor Beach Design since 2010. Carol did several projects for us during various phases of our major whole-house renovation. Our house was constructed in the late 1880s and we wanted to preserve as much of its original detail as possible. Carol designed and executed an incredibly beautiful accented wall design in our master bedroom using a variety of muted colors with touches of metallic paints. The front doors were old, painted-over, and chipped, but were still solid. Carol transformed these eyesores by faux finishing them to give the appearance of dark-grained woods and burl wood panels. The doors are stunning. When we added an extension to the house, we encountered a brick wall that had been painted with concrete paint. The contractor doing the extension tried several times to strip off this paint, but over the years, it had bonded with the bricks. Instead of removing and replacing the bricks, Carol re-painted them, again using one of her faux finishing techniques, to match the antique bricks that were elsewhere in our home. But perhaps the biggest project that she undertook was transforming an antique fireplace mantel in our dining room. A previous owner had painted the entire mantel a baby blue. We wanted the mantel to be restored to a look that reflected the period of the home's construction. We toyed with the idea of having the mantel removed and refinished off-site. But decided to let Carol have a go at it. The results are nothing short of freaking stunning. People visiting our home cannot believe that this finish is not the original wood. And that's even when they touch it and peer at it from only inches away. I can only say that further that we are extremely picky about every aspect of what is done in our home. I cannot recommend Carol highly enough. Beyond her artistic insights and abilities, she is one fine and fun human being. Look no further!”
