Color Consultation

Intensity, hue, and value all combine to reflect personality, space, style and mood.  
Color has panache, is never alone and always a relative to its neighbors. 
We choose colors considering the exterior and interior design, function, flow,
and the client’s style by the hour or by the project.

 Painted Effects & Decorative Finishes

Faux effects can be rendered to your personal or
business sense of style, from ageless
beauties of the past, to sleek modern sights of the
future by custom design, color, and hand-
crafted application. 

We are Certified Faux Artisans, who also
provide free estimates and sample boards.
 

Murals

Embraced by your daydreams, surround yourself
with finely rendered images & timeless fantasies derived
from your choice, your desires, and your personality. 
Scaled sketches, color palettes and estimates are offered.
 

Furniture & Restoration

We repair and restore furniture, while maintaining
its inherent history and original look. 
 Through painted effects we can transform the
ordinary piece into the unique.

Water Gilding is also available for frames,
furniture, & architectural details.
 

Real Estate for sale Enhancements 

In the marketing and sale of real estate,
J & L studios is very well aware of Barb Schwarz’
comment that “The way you live in a home and
 the way you sell a home are two different things”. 
J & L Studio’s recognizes that for a seller to
effectively have their home appealing to the potential
buyer the property needs to be prepped
as one would prep selling any merchandise.
 Buyers are buying what they see, not the
potential of what it could be. 
J & L Studio’s objective is to assist the seller in
setting the “stage” for an optimum “show”
resulting in a quicker and more financially successful outcome.

The Artist - Laura Kessler

Laura Kessler founded J & L Studios in 1996 as a means of
applying an adventurous spirit to a confident aesthetic sense.

Her improvisational approach finds discernment
from a range of studies, which include
Parson’s School of Design, NYC, The Faux Finish School,
 Louisville, KY, Stucco Creativa,
