Most people hear decorative painting and immediately think sponge painting.

Not our favorite thing to hear.

We wanted to post some photos on our site to showcase some clean, classic decorative painting.  We want to show people it's not about the sponge. The possibilities are limitless.

We hope you enjoy some of our recent favorites and get inspired yourself.

These photos are not the work of CAN but are photos found in our favorite magazines and on line.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this dining room.

Both of the above photos have amazing painted floors in a Chevron pattern. CAN did a similar floor as seen on our site at Apple Boutique in Chapel HIll.

Designed by Michael Berman.

No decorative painting here, we just think this light fixture is amazing and we love the simplicity of this room. How stunning.
