Segreto "Secret" in Italiano

The "SECRET" is out!  And in the form of a hot new and gorgeous book that would beautifully grace any surface in your home.

Entitled "Segreto", Secrets to Finishing Beautiful Interiors by Leslie Sinclair, owner of Segreto Finishes in Houston, the book is available online through Amazon. 

In the book, there are samples of finishes as well as rooms Leslie's talented team have transformed.

While the mural like depictions are beautiful, I love the lime washes, and the way they 

use plaster, paint, and glazes to make a home look like Tuscany or like Provence.  I find myself going through the pages just staring at the nuances "blank" walls.....

Ceilings are no exception, enhancing chandeliers and treating ceilings like "another wall" brings impact to these rooms. It is obvious why she and her expert team is in demand, not only for Houston designers,but builders and

those who want to add impactive depth to the surfaces of their homes. 

Her reach is growing beyond Houston as well.  Leslie is now collaborating with the New York designer Celerie Kemble.

I left the lines in the pictures so you can see how they are depicted in the book... The book is a generous size too, showing plenty of detail....

I like the fact that it not only showcases Leslie's talents but an array of designers and their styles as well.

I love what she does with the glazes on kitchen cabinets..... Segreto would make a fabulous xmas gift for those that like design....We are carrying the book here at Beadboard......By the way she has her own personal art in galleries in the Houston Area.  Why have the talent stop at walls?????
