Painting on the Wild Side: Alana Solomon of Just Faux Fun, Inc.

Alana Solomon of Just Faux Fun, Inc., takes faux painting to the wild side.

Based in Wilmington, North Carolina, USA, Alana serves the east coast with all their faux-painting and artistic needs. Alana paints portraits, furniture, walls, ceilings, floors, mantles, stairs, columns, and much much more.

Alana offers faux tiger patterns, faux leopard patterns, faux cheetah pattern, faux boa snakeskin, faux leather, faux shark skin, and much much more. Alana Solomon, master artist, is fluent in all things paint! She will paint anything that will hold still! Alana is somewhere right now swinging her paintbrush!

From powder rooms, to great rooms, to dining rooms, to master bedrooms, to bars, foyers, breakfast rooms, kitchens, elevators, wine cellars, studies, and much more, Alana paints anything, anywhere!

Alana loves a challenge. This interior bridge was constructed of wood that didn’t satisfy the homeowner’s taste, so Alana transformed or “trans-fauxed” the wood into the desirable tone and grain pattern customized to the homeowner’s liking. Why live with a bridge over troubled colors? Call Alana and she will swing her magic brush and make you very very happy!

Creating illusions is just part of what makes faux painting so desirable. Interior designers often prefer faux simply for the fact that it is a more controlled outcome. If you buy a bulk of knotty pine, you get whatever comes, lots of knots, sapwood, and color variations. Why not save a tree and call Alana to paint your study walls in mahogany, english pine, birds eye maple, walnut, rosewood, burl wood, teak, and much much more.

Wilmington Rubber & Gasket gets a Lobby Hobby!

Does your office lobby need some personality? Wilmington Rubber & Gasket, in Wilmington, NC, USA received a fun and funky makeover by Alana Solomon of Just Faux Fun, Inc. From painting, to custom faux finishes, to custom framed original artwork, Alana can transform any space into a joyful space full of color and perkiness. Your visitors will be warmly welcomed into your newly transformed lobby and want to return and bring friends and added/future customers. Don’t settle for vanilla and unmemorable when Alana’s ideas are endless and she is knowledgable about many styles of decor, from retro, to coastal, to classic, shabby chic, contemporary, french country, urban, etc.

The framed custom artwork in the lobby of Wilmington Rubber & Gasket have a wacky coastal theme of whimsical fish and sea creatures working in the shop cutting gaskets and hoses. The cool cats are the customers waiting for their wares.

The second painting includes the same sea creatures playing in a jazz band after work for an audience of cool cats. The audience is definitely hungry for more!

The bathroom at Wilmington Rubber & Gasket also got a makeover from  standard fixtures to custom painted finishes that definitely jazz them up. Painting is so much more affordable than calling the plumber and tearing out cabinets and vanities, etc. Most anything can reap the benefits of a paintbrush in the right hands. Take a lemon and turn it into limoncello! If you are in a pickle, don’t turn into a sourpuss, call Alana for your next conundrum. She has a magic paintbrush and loves a challenge!

Dump the trash not the furniture!

Do you have a piece of furniture that you think is ruined? Did you have a flood, or a bad dog, or a not so handy handyman? Before you head off to the city dump or pull your back out heading for the curb, call Alana, the furniture doctor and get a second opinion!

Call Alana at Just Faux Fun, Inc. in Wilmington, NC. You can even email Alana a photo of the “victim” and she can give you a “diagnosis” via email. Alana has fixed many, many wonderful things that had mishaps, termites, destructive pets,  children, hurricanes, etc.. Alana can patch, bondo, glue, faux finish to match missing veneers, missing carving, missing knobs, missing moldings and much, much more!

Perhaps your furniture or furnishings are family heirlooms and it breaks your heart to think of trashing them. Alana will bring her magic paintbrush and work wonders in restoring it to it’s former glory. She can match wood grains of all kinds, french provincial and french country style paint finishes, marquetry, mother of pearl, real and faux marble, fine painted designs, gold leaf and metallic patinas. You name it, she has even matched army camouflage, malachite, burl wood, leather, burlap, rattan, faux snakeskin, and mother of pearl!

It never hurts to see how little it may cost to save your wonderful piece from the graveyard of furniture wreckage. And what a great conversation piece to captivate your guests with the stories of battle scars, massacres and resurrection from an near-fated furniture fatale!

The proof is in the pudding. Judge for yourself and see if this fabulous cabinet was worth saving from the landfill. These clients were very satisfied and will enjoy the second life of their long-loved cabinet!

Perhaps the Painted Personality Pet Portrait?

Sometimes a client would rather remember the “essence” of a pet’s personality rather than the photo accuracy of the particular animal’s photo-realistic characteristics. We all know the lay of our particular pet’s fur, the twinkle in his eye, the crooked expression, the missing fang, the bent tail, etc. Paintings are a chance to do what the camera cannot do! Sometimes it would be nice to remember a beloved pet in a wacky-whimsical, colorful, less realistic way.

Interpretations in paint by Alana’s Art will capture the idealistic quirkiness of your pet’s one-of-a-kind personality,  preserving that image in textural, colorful, sparkly, stylistic way. These kinds of portraits make your heart smile every time you pass by. Your friends and visitors will be drawn to the painting over and over and need no explanation of what a character you best beast friend must be!

Call Alana for a portrait of your pet’s personality! USA 910 232 5427.

Cats are just eat up with zip!

A Scavenger Named Diligence—A poem by Alana Solomon

That sneaky ole gal behind the trash can,

doing what only a bandit can.

She sniffs and sifts and keeps an eye out

for any who’d follow his own keen snout.

Her ring-tailed plume follows close behind

as she visits with hopes of a succulent find.

Her inky black mask secures anonymity

all through the night and all through the city.

With lightening-quick paws she fingers and draws

remains of the day up to her jaws:

melon rinds, clementines, yoke drippings, greasy chitlins,

peach stones, chicken bones, an apple core, need I say more?

She shuffles along in her thick fur stole

with long street shadows, a lonely soul.

Is she off to the ballet or perhaps the shows?

Unseen in shadows she comes and goes,

to Blackwater Cafe perhaps, who knows?

Where does she live? Where does she sleep?

When the hustle and bustle begin on the street?

Down by the icehouse on the deep Cape Fear,

in the limey-green marshes surrounding the pier,

to the old live oak, the muddy path leads,

whose hollow is dry and packed full of leaves.

She’s off with a scurry; I thought “what’s the hurry?”

till silver light streamed by the livery surrey.

The morning hour creeps, in with a haze,

as summer sun floats while blue moon fades.

Her name is Diligence tufted in grays;

I’ll see her again after faithful days.

Her Maker is glorified by her meaningless task,

finding she’s consistent behind her mask.

Night after night she emerges once more

to the alley she comes for the trashcan pour.

Her Owner supplies all she needs for her life

while she’s wild and free and free from strife.
