Simplicity

Just the sound of the word is so calming. Such a common word can bring a sense of peace with a deep breath and a smile to one's face. This is something that we all can appreciate and that we desire during these trying worldwide economic times. The key is to be mindful of keeping life simple and keeping the needless chatter at bay.

We at Faux Effects International, Inc. have always had a mantra "to keep things simple." This is why our patented decorative finish systems are all that you need! By staying within the Faux Effects® system of products, it’s one stop shopping. It’s the best way to create distinctive designer finishes in record time. Whether it be a haven for the home, or the dramatic
for the commercial application, the benefits of using Faux Effects® products for the decorative finisher and end user is priceless in more ways than one!

Exquisite decorative finishes can be simple with the "right" products and the "right" training. Faux Effects® and our network of worldwide distributors provide the simplicity to achieve this goal.

Keep it simple!

We appreciate all the effort, and thank you for your patronage,

Time Flies

Here we are again with another fabulous issue of Faux Effects World®, and we are so excited to bring Volume XIV to you!

It’s been a fast and furious few months here at Faux Effects International Inc., as our worldwide presence continues to grow. We have added a little change in flavor in this issue to reflect this expanding market. I hope you find it both inspiring and interesting. Once, boundaries defined who “we” were, but now we find we all live among a global society. “It is a small world after all!”

Again, another big thanks to all who share their projects and talents. We are inundated with your project information and photos. What a terrific problem to have…please do not stop submitting! With many more issues of Faux Effects World® to
come, there is plenty of room to showcase your talents. Enjoy!
 

Peace, Love & Happiness,
