It takes two to TANGO!

The most romantic dance there is....

Most people are so intimidated by this dance but if you can walk....

You can Tango...

Most people that come to one class and fall in love with this simple but beautiful

art form.

Our Classes are held at Belvoir Winery, which is located in Liberty, MO.

This historical site is a beautiful back drop that sets the stage for an enjoyable experience.

Panama!

We just got back from an amazing trip to Boquete Panama, where we felt like we were in a monet painting.

Time felt like it stood still, there was so much beauty to be appreciated

Our morning view, ahhhhhhh (Exhale) .......

OH Meet Ricky! Our 5 am alarm clock that wouldn't stop!!

Seriously, I wanted to cook him by the 3rd day
Put a sock in it RICKY!!

We will be back to this paradise one day

Cabinet re-finishing

We love this look. I have used it on furniture, cabinets and vanities. It is a high-end look that makes anything it is on appear elegant.

Harrison Crackle

This weathered look is great for vanities and furniture pieces.

Tidewater Mist

This is a great look that was develop by the a talented instructor here is Kansas City. Training is very important in this industry. We spend so much time in the field that we forget the world moves forward with new trends, treatments and fashionable looks. The center application is an Italian style ornamentation provided by a local company that produces thousands of designs for trim, frames and more. This ornamentation can be applied by steaming it, which activates the adhesion proprieties. Take a look at our website: http://www.kcfuaxdesign.com/ under the furniture section. Look closely at the before and after images of the French Hand Painted Zebra Writing Desk. We used these applications to dress up the desk

Copenhagen Blue

Crackled finishes

These cracks here, although appear random, are much harder to achieve. This was hand rolled and applied very carefully to the surface. After which it was glazed to back fill the cracks

These cabinets were sprayed with two or three coats using a two step crackled process. After which two coats of French red were spayed and lightly glazed to bring out some of the details.

This is a beautiful effect.

This effect was achieved by spraying the two part crackle through an HPLV sprayer. The second part of the process, the black crackle, was watered down enough to get it through the sprayer. A 1.5 mm or 3.0 mm needle was used due to the thickness of the material. Only a single coat was used here resulting in smaller hairline cracks

Tango definitions

Milonga: ( Has two meanings) 1. A tango dance party where people dance Argentine Tango, Tango Milonga and Vals. 2. It is a kind of tango dance where the music is played at a faster pace. Milonguero Style: Tango for crowded dance floors, Milonguero Style is the reigning standard for social dance today, from the halls of Buenos Aires to the packed ballrooms US and Europe

Salon Style:

The elegant and expansive tango from the 1940's, salon style originates for the time when dances were held in more expansive, less populated venues. The embrace is close but flexible, opening slightly to make room for various figures while always returning to the initial "V shape" close-embrace to finish a step.

Tango Nuevo:

With movement more specific to the modern era, Tango Nuevo emphasizes fluidity, creativity and the exploration of all the possibilities for tango vocabulary. Tango Nuevo grew out of the classic Salon Style as an adaptation of the complexities of improvising to modern tango music

Affordable window treatments

I would like to entitle this little number the "Drama Queen"

What's a queen style room without the drama?

This living space is grand!

18 ft high ceilings and 22 ft wall of dramatic windows

How do we add the "drama" without losing the beautiful architecture?

I know..... I will Create something Fab

We decided to compliment the architectural features by attaching medical tracks to the ceiling, which made them fully functional, then build a facing with the same crown molding that is already featured in the room.

We felt like trapeze artist hanging these puppies up. Don't try this at home kids!

How many yards for this dramatic effect you ask? 250 yards of rich chocolate silk fabric and liner, triple pleated baby!

It felt like I was sewing a parachute at one point, I was swimming in chocolate silk. At any time of the day these drapes can be shut close for a complete blackout effect, also a great insulator from the outdoor elements which is huge plus for those heating and cooling bills.

Ciao for now
