If You can Dream it ~ We can Create It

"...You offered a working relationship that truly served to make us happy with the final finishes. Our refinished mahogany handrail is just beautiful and was not an easy color to achieve! The new coffered ceiling beams in our family room were so artfully painted to look like aged wood that no one can tell the difference. The beams are spectacular. Hutter, Emilie, Ed and team - you are amazing! ..." read more ... -- Tour this project

Venetian Plaster

Venetian Plaster is a beautiful, durable veneer. Resistant to both mold and moisture, it can be used indoors and outdoors. A great feature for kitchens, baths, restaurants and bars like this at the Carmel Kitchen and Wine Bar.

Reactive Stains

The Old Village Design Studio™ has developed methods that use low VOC and environmentally friendly materials to create beautiful reactive stains, like we did on this reclaimed oak flooring in a barn-to-residence conversion in Chester County.

Pickling/Bleaching

Pickling - or bleaching wood - brings out aspects that give it a lighter, aged or even glowing look. Old Village uses modern techniques and materials to achieve beautiful pickled finishes such as the ceiling in this Flourtown Carriage House

Custom Detailing

Our customer had water damage that ruined a favorite wallpaper. Emilie Stulb Magowan was able to reproduce the pin tuck look of the wallpaper while updating the color and texture. She created a linen texture with plaster and had a custom stencil made to reproduce the design.
