Modello™ Master Methods and Faux by Kathy!

Modellos™ are one of the hottest trends in the stenciling and faux finish profession. Melanie Royals and her Modello™ Designs are taking the industry by storm.

On the Modello™ Designs website (www.modellodesigns.com), clients can purchase Modello™ Master Methods instructions and packets. In the upcoming months, Kathy Carroll and Faux by Kathy will be teaming up with Melanie to produce some amazing finishes incorporating the high quality Modello™ Designs products.

"Melanie is a proven leader in new design trends, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Melanie on the Modello™ Master Methods instructions and packets," Kathy says.

More details on the finishes and packets will be provided closer to the release date.


Tips and Tricks, Term Definitions and Helpful Tools to be Added


In February, we will be adding several new areas to the Faux by Kathy site, which we hope will help provide answers to some fairly common questions.

Tips and Tricks will be added throughout the store, some product specific and some which will be helpful to most faux finish professionals.

Additionally, we are going to add a section which will define practical terms in the paint and finish industry.

Helpful tools will include the formula for calculating square footage, and more interesting (and less common) measurement conversions.

Look for these additions in February, 2006!
