Kitchen Renovation

We engaged Sylvia during the renovation of our kitchen. The work entailed changes to the wall colors, floor finish, counter tops, and repainting of the cabinets and island. Sylvia was instrumental in identifying the mix of colors and paint style that would complement the other aspects of our home. The overall creativity and knowledge of color matching and paint finishing were key factors in the overall success of the project. She always conducted herself very professionally and completed all work in a timely manner. Sylvia was very easy to work with both in the design and the implementation of the work. In addition, Sylvia developed a plan for repainting the wrought iron stair rail in our house. She worked to provide a truly unique product which aligns with and highlights the lighting and furniture in the foyer. Everyone who comes into our home is impressed with Sylvia’s work. We will use Sylvia again for future projects.

Historic French Quarter Creole Cottage

The results that Sylvia and her crew created for my cottage in the French Quarter exceeded my expectations. From the consult, to the color selection and previews of samples she created, to the professional way the work itself was conducted, but mostly to the final outcome. Not only do I admire the walls every day, but the number of compliments I hear also proves that the job is fantastic. The cost was more than for some other finishes, but it seemed very reasonable for the work involved and certainly for the result, which is so beautiful!

Kitchen Cabinet and Bar Refinishing

We recently did a small renovation which included our 22-year old kitchen cabinets and bar being refinished by Sylvia. They are our favorite part of the project. The finish is much prettier than I have seen on new factory cabinets coupled with a significant cost savings. Her work is really amazing.

Longway Tavern – Historic French Quarter Restaurant

Each of our projects consist of two components. The first is the preservation of the history, culture and tradition of New Orleans and the sense of place implied by these old buildings. The second is populating these buildings with a team that embodies exactly what we think the 21st century New Orleans experience should be. Sylvia allows us to do both at the same time.

Fireplace Refinish

Sylvia was very attentive to my style and wishes. She made a sample piece so I could see how it would look before she started. She was prompt and professional. Her price was reasonable.

Historic Restaurant Renovation in the French Quarter

All of our projects start with the building. We find old buildings with great bones that deserve to be preserved and reintroduced to everyone so that they may experience the history and sense of place in New Orleans. Sylvia is literally the person single most responsible for bringing them back to life with her restoration and decorative arts work. Once we have an amazing old building that we think people should experience, we create an idea for what type of restaurant would be authentic to the space. We then work with Sylvia to bring those ideas and the place to life.

Cabinet Refinishing

Sylvia was great to work with. She provided me with several samples of stains for my cabinets and beams. She was flexible in her schedule and met all deadlines. Her work is very beautiful and I love all she did. I will hire her again for additional work I am considering.

Here’s a look at a recent residential renovation where we did some terrific work in this Uptown, New Orleans home. In this shot, you can see some of what we did in the kitchen (we did all the walls and the ceiling, too!) The owner wanted a rustic French provincial country look to complement the fixtures and decor. We delivered a gorgeous Marmorino plaster finish that shows some beautiful and subtle motion along with lovely depth. We also did a custom color match with the plaster. What’s more? We sealed the finish to provide protection and cleanability from kitchen stains and grease! Sylvia T Designs is the New Orleans and Gulf Coast region’s decorative and functional plaster experts!

Here's a finished shot (please see our previous post) of our residential Venetian plaster ceiling finish. The bold and highly mirrored finish adds dramatic elegance to the spacious dining room. Though the picture doesn’t do it justice, you can see how the abundant natural light beautifully reflects off the plaster. The striking appearance is further enhanced by the ceiling bays. Extensive hand-burnishing with a large dose of key timing throughout the application (all while working on a ceiling!) allowed us to achieve this look from the lime-based plaster.

Here's another look at our recent project in Baton Rouge for Kenneth Brown Design. This is the primary bedroom in this residential remodel. We used lime paint on the walls and ceiling. We also used mineral paint on the vertically slatted wall and baseboards. Overall, we delivered a cohesive look that boasts subtle, organic movement giving the space a beautiful and calming feel. Sylvia T Designs is the region’s premier decorative arts firm and plaster artisan. We specialize in both decorative and functional plaster finishes, lime washes, mineral paints, stencils, murals, cabinetry and furniture refinishing, and much, much more.

Here's another look at our recent project in Baton Rouge for Kenneth Brown Design. This is the primary bedroom in this residential remodel. We used lime paint on the walls and ceiling. We also used mineral paint on the vertically slatted wall and baseboards. Overall, we delivered a cohesive look that boasts subtle, organic movement giving the space a beautiful and calming feel.

It’s always a pleasure to work with the inimitable Kenneth Brown Design! This fantastic project is a residential remodel in Baton Rouge, where we delivered a few elements. Here, you can see the amazing fireplace surround. The design is impressive and serves as the focal point of the living room. We used lime plaster, with a bit of a heavier grain, to create a noticeable, striking texture. Skill and attention to detail were a must to achieve this look on the scalloped surface. Shout out to Gator Millworks for the tremendous woodwork! Sylvia T Designs is the region’s premier decorative arts firm and plaster artisan.

Here’s another element we delivered for this terrific residential new construction project in the Lakeview neighborhood of New Orleans. We shared the spectacular feature wall in the great room a while back. Here on the dining room’s feature wall, we did a clean Venetian plaster look that demonstrates beautiful motion and perfectly complements the home’s open space and modern, clean appearance.
