Since 1999: A Journey in Timeless Restoration
For the past three decades, Julie Cravens has dedicated herself to the art of restoration. Collaborating with designers, builders, architects, artists, restorers, and conservators, Julie has honed her skills across a myriad of projects. Since establishing her business in 1999, she has poured her creativity and talent into each endeavor, ensuring client satisfaction and project success.
I started fixing paper mache and ceramic limited edition signed sculptures. I would make them not look damaged and match detail and color of each piece.
Julie's passion for her craft is evident in her meticulous attention to detail and her commitment to infusing each restoration project with heart and soul. Her goal is simple yet profound: to meet the unique needs of every project and to leave her clients fully satisfied.
One notable restoration project exemplifies Julie's expertise and creativity. A complete overhaul of a kitchen involved repainting cabinets and installing new lighting, floors, and countertops. Dark oak cabinets were transformed with a white chalk paint and antiqued detailing, while a silver epoxy countertop added a modern touch. Antique tin accents and farm-themed fixtures replaced old light fixtures, adding charm to the space.
Julie's skillful wood-graining technique on the ceiling beam created a striking accent, brightening up the entire room and breathing new life into the space. I went over it with white chalk paint and antiqued some details. The countertop is a silver epoxy, which I applied over all counter space. We also took down an old light fixture and replaced it with an antique tin accent and an antique fixture with a farm theme. The beam across the ceiling I wood-grained to look like a real wood beam on the ceiling, which created a nice accent. This redo brightened up this space.
