From plain Jane to remarkable beauty, a lake house near Austin has realized its potential after a recent renovation with stunning results. When asked which point of the makeover was most rewarding, the clients simply replied that Imago Dei exceeded their expectations. “You did everything you said you would do,” which was exactly what they wanted, bringing their personal vision to life. Brought in toward the end of the process to provide a unique plaster finish throughout the entire house as well as a custom mural, Imago Dei involved the homeowners in each step of the creative process. The consultation proceeded room by room to conceptualize each finish, each piece of the decorative puzzle. Once on site, our talented artists went to great lengths to ensure the vision was perfect. Working ten to twelve hours a day, six days a week for over five weeks, Imago Dei kept its promise and completed the tasks on time.
When the work was done, and the house was completely transfigured, the results were “truly unbelievable,” as the client exclaimed. The superior quality products and well-trained hands of Imago Dei that transformed the house into a harmonious retreat had succeeded. Careful attention to detail was necessary to ensure each surface held all the intricacies of real stone. Drawing inspiration from the warm tones of the natural landscape, the very walls looked honed from the Texas hillside. Modest touches of elegance now adorn the bedrooms, and the coffee nook features hand painted designs with unique accents.
To complete the dream, an original mural was painted and installed in an upstairs niche. The Italian street, depicted so wonderfully, invites each viewer to walk into another world.
Imago Dei was proud to be a part of such an achievement. However, the most rewarding satisfaction comes from knowing we have pleased our patrons. As the client shared, “When we walk in that house, I take a deep breathe, and think, ‘Thank you, God, that I can come here. It’s my paradise.”
