Decorative painter, West Hollywood, California
Beige is just the beginning. Beyond Beige Painting is West Hollywood's studio for Venetian plaster, Roman clay, limewash, murals, and gold leaf. Interior painting specialist Matthew McShane, and a family with forty years of decorative finishing behind him.
The finishes
Seven specialties, one studio. Every finish below is handwork: trowel, brush, and leaf, no shortcuts.
Polished lime plaster, layered by trowel until the wall carries the depth of stone.

Tap to ask about it
Limewash in daylight. Cloudy color, brush-moved by hand, never flat, never rolled.
Plaster on. Gold in. Beige out.
The craft
"For 40 years our family has been creating new designs with paint and other mediums like glass, plasters and metals." That is the whole business: decorative finishes treated as an art form, carried across generations and into every room.
Beyond Beige Painting is run by Matthew McShane, an interior painting specialist working out of West Hollywood, California.
