Fauxology: Studying the Visual Magic of Faux Finishing & Interior Design
http://www.Fauxology.com
My name is Regina Garay and I started the Fauxology blog to share my obsession with all things design, pattern, painting and finishing. My journey began in 1998 when I decided to leave the music industry, step into The Great Unknown and start my own faux finishing business, Garay Artisans. I like to impart some of the knowledge gained, share the new things I learn and perhaps add a dash of the mayhem a now sibling-owned company can create.
