Other People's Work: The Faux Finish

We're pretty lucky to have the level talent we have in our paint shop. To be able to hand them raw wood patched with joint compound and have it come back as seamless as it does is pretty awesome. One of the many talents happens to be a professional faux painter, Karin. She has her own business outside of the theatre, but her talents are kinda just what the doctor order around our shop. The mobile bookcase/window unit was given to her with multiple materials, like pine, MDF, and polar molding, but when she's done with it, it looks like it was made out of solid chestnut lumber.
