Mural Painting in Stoke.

“Did a great job of painting my fence panels and posts. Looks great. Lads were professional too. Can't complain about nothing.”

“Alex and his team were fantastic from start to finish. Alex had great suggestions and advice about how to complete the work that we needed doing - a complete strip and redecoration of a bedroom, hall, stairs and landing. His team were respectful, punctual, and efficient. They did all the work with care and attention to a high standard and to budget, despite the fact that we were asking them to work to quite a tight deadline. We're delighted with the finished product, and Alex even came back to make sure that the finishing touches that we needed were completed and that we were completely satisfied with the job. We want to get further work done on 2 more bedrooms and we plan to get Alex and his team back in again. I have already recommended Spring Decorating to friends!”

“New look services did a great job of painting our hall stairs and landing which stretched up to 3 floors back in 2015. They offered a competitive quote, expert advice, matched the colours we wanted, sanded and prepped all surfaces properly because there was a lot of wood and finished with high quality paint and finishing. The whole area still looks freshly painted, bar a couple of scuff marks from the kid. They are passionate about they're work and professional and cleaned up afterwards. I've had no hesitation in recommending them to friends and family since, and plan to use them again very soon for other work inside and out. I also found them friendly, trusting and honest to deal with.”

“Just received my painting of my dog Nipper, very highly pleased the detail and the colors are perfect. I would recommend Art By Mandy to any one who requires a very professional piece of art. not expensive but highly professional.”

“Our Staffordshire kitchen was painted by John Lewis of HandPainted Kitchens. Great customer service and attention to detail, I would thoroughly recommend him!”

“I ordered a bespoke acrylic on canvas artwork, and was so happy with the result. The artist (Shabs) was in touch with me many times throughout the process to get my feedback and check we were on the same page. The finished artwork is just what I wanted and is the talking point of my house. It was delivered in a reinforced box within 2.5 weeks of placing the order. I would love to work with the artist again - Shabs made the whole process easy and stress free. 5 Stars!”

“Mark has produced some wonderful work for the school, most recently a mural in the school's entrance about Rights Respecting Schools”

“Leo Donaghy has undertaken a range of commissions and work streams in our substantive (25-room) Victorian house. These have included both original work on a substantial scale and renovation & restoration. His work is of an extremely high order on both fields. It is in addition a pleasure as well as an education to entertain Leo as an artist ‘in the house’. He is a mine of fascinating insights in his field and in general knowledge well beyond. Finally, Leo takes infinite care of his surroundings and leaves his work areas in impeccable condition. Original work •Major mural on three sides of a 3.5m-high Victorian bedroom above the picture rail. This embraces Italianate landscape, riverine, shore-side and Venetian canal-city themes with the central wall merging into a harbour vista drawing upon the Grey Havens from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Interspersed are family vignettes, recalling honeymoon in Venice, favourite events in children’s upbringing, pets, and mid 20th century sailing episodes. Execution, including an exquisite sense of detail in in execution together with the sense of harmony between the room and its bay-window surroundings overlooking gardens, river and meadows is of an extremely high quality. •The same principles have been applied to an adjacent en-suite bathroom / dressing room. This includes an exotic neo-classical frieze sited over a double bath, restored from a resin moulding of unpleasant tone to harmonise with the complete mural surroundings covering every wall and cupboard with classical a mainly watery scenes, from sea vistas and islands, to brightly-coloured birds of a flamingo derivation and submerged grottos. A sculptured merman & mermaid support a sconces each, and companions in 3-D effect frolic spumes. A door lets into a further bedroom, which can be separated by close-fitting screens on which Leo has painted scenes filling the walk-through access between the rooms. An elegant naked young lady tips water into the overhead Thomas Crapper cistern. •This adjacent bedroom is fitted with a walk-in wardrobe constructed from Indian pillar and arch remnants. Leo has painted the final construct with a jungly tropical theme. The inside door of a second entrance to this room Leo has painted with a 3-D effect harmonised with the Indian theme of the wardrobe. •Leo has used a parallel approach a teenage girl’s room, with similar remnants supporting a bed raised 2m from the floor. •In progress is the composition of a Lord of the Rings theme on two removable dining-table leaves. When complete, this work will be covered and completely protected by a 2mm transparent resin coating. •Also commissioned is the landscape painting of a dull double door separating two part of the house. Renovation and restoration Leo has undertaken with the utmost care detailed restoration of a range of artefacts, including remodelling where required. His unerring eye and skill with his paints and brush ensures complete harmonisation with previous finishes.”
