Pro Faux Continues Its Magic
at PDRA Headquarters

The transformation continues!
The headquarters of The Faux Finisher magazine publisher, PDRA is becoming a true showcase of decorative finishes, thanks to the efforts of Pro Faux and its dedicated crew of paint prestidigitators. The Pro Faux team, lead by John Catalanotto and Greg Frohnapfel, has been creating decorative painting effects in a variety of office spaces and meeting areas throughout the 15,000 square foot office building that is the home to PDRA and Global Solutions, a major software provider.

During the past visits to the headquarters, Pro Faux has provided such finishes as wood graining, blue lapis, Venetian plaster and European textures. For their latest visit in February 2003, the Pro Faux team worked in a number of areas and offices. For a lengthy office hallway, they provided a shimmery but subtle stria effect. For the mailroom area, they applied a glaze over an embossed wallcovering. They also worked in various offices, crating finishes that matched the personalities of the occupants: a sophisticated leather effect and a soothing sandstone treatment for two Global Solution executives; a crackle finish in contemporary colors for a twenty-something PDRA accounting manager; and a scenic mural for an advertising sales executive, who is also an outdoor enthusiast and avid runner.

Pro Faux's crew of top-notch painters including professionals from all over the country. Among those who have participated in these most recent projects or previous projects at PDRA headquarters are: Rick Fischer, Deco Illusions, Ft.
