As the owner of Finish That Room! I specialize in personal shopping, responding to client requests for unique home furnishings from the 19th & 20th centuries. Additionally, my retail showroom is at Center 44, New York’s finest collection of antique and contemporary furniture and accessories.
In both roles, I interface with a highly demanding clientele that expect an extra level of service and performance. Colin provides that to me as well as to my clients.

As a design professional, my work is often judged by the performance of the sub-contractors whom I engage to participate in my projects. I worked with countless upholsterers until I identified the most reliable, trustworthy and competent individual.

Similarly, when I need a specialist painter, I always turn to Colin. In addition to his skills in decorative painting, Colin is highly adept at applying Venetian plaster, a difficult skill to master. Having worked on both residential and retail environments for me, Colin has demonstrated his expertise and reliability consistently. I can recommend him without reservation.

As an interior designer in New York I have clients that have high standards and I am responsible for the contractors that are hired. I have chosen to work with Colin for many years. I do believe he is one of the most talented artisans I know. His work is impeccable, he is neat and his attention to detail is second to none. I also find him easy to work with, eager to please and very accommodating.

I cannot recommend Colin enough. His faux and decorative painting skills are of the highest quality. If like me, you are very demanding, you will be thrilled to find him creative and highly reliable.
