"Michele's work is absolutely wonderful. The first job she did for us several years ago, we wanted something very special for our foyer and staircase. She has many wonderful things in her portfolio but there wasn't exactly what we were looking for. We told her what we like about several of the samples and she came back with a new sample which combined everything we wanted. It was the exact finish that we were looking for. She has done several other rooms in the house and we've been incredibly happy with the final result. Each time, she came to visit our home, sat down to listen to what we were looking for to create the atmosphere in the room. Then we would go through the portfolio to see if anything worked for us. Many times we found the perfect finish, but the color was not what we were looking for. After explaining the color we hoped for, Michele would make us a few samples in the colors/tones that she thought were looking for and she has ALWAYS managed to give us what we were hoping for. We love her!"Edward H., Catlett, VA
"Michele Mayberry of Special FX Studios is genius in the world of faux finishing. She has worked for our family on numerous occasions over the span of 15 years. Her finishes are truly works of art, and her eye for design and integration of faux finishes into our homes have been expertly executed. Moreover, not only is she an artist, but she is an excellent business person. She carries out the process of design, proposal, and completion of work in a timely manner. In other words, she shows up when she says she'll be there. Her pricing is competitive and fair. She is great with children and pets. Her final product has generated many compliments and inquiries from those who have visited our homes. Over the years, Michele has been a wonderful resource in helping us make our houses into homes."Brigid M., Vienna, VA

"As a builder of luxury homes, we have a very discerning clientele and pay special attention to every detail; making sure to exceed our client's expectations - we work with Michele and Special FX Studios for the same reasons. Michele is not only an extremely talented artist with an extensive portfolio of beautiful decorative finishes, she is also a consumate professional and often gets the job done ahead of schedule. We recently built three large homes in Clifton, VA and had Michele finsh the two-story foyer of each (the first room any propective buyer sees, of course) with one of her Venetian plaster finshes. I will not say that her work alone sold these homes but, without exception, everyone who saw them remarked how beautiful the foyers looked. We would not hesitate to recommend Michele to anyone who wants to improve the look and style of their home or business."Rob Patriarca, President - Green Vision Construction
"I've known Michele for 10 years and have contracted with her and Special Fx Studio on numerous occasions to bring that "unique pop" to many different rooms in our home. She has transformed our Living Room, Dining Room, Powder Room and Kitchen into stunning living spaces. She also worked her magic on the fireplace mantle that was originally painted builder's white. All of her work is coordinated and beautiful. Michele, you are a talented artist. Many thanks!" Brenda B., Ashburn, VA
"I first became aware of Michele's exceptional work with Special FX when I visited a client at their home. They had the most elegant looking foyer and I knew I had found the right person to give my dull boring kitchen a makeover! Michele came over for a consult and knew instinctively what would work best with my cabinets and granite, and she was very happy to make my vision come to life. In addition to the walls, Michele accommodated a late request from me to paint some switch plates to match a multi-toned backsplash she had never seen before. She has an uncanny eye for color and the switch plates matched perfectly! Now I look forward every morning to that quiet cup of coffee in my own private Tuscany. Special FX Studio was the best decision I have made so far in decorating my home." Sharon N., Fairfax, VA
"It is very difficult these days to find an experienced professional tradesperson who does a great job on time, and with excellent pricing. Special FX studios is one of those rare companies who do exactly this. Michelle Mayberry, the owner, also has a rare talent for seeing colors and what type of faux finishes would achieve the look you tell her you want. She will also advise you what won't work, averting any decorating disaster that looked good in House Beautiful, but not in your own house and style."Cindy B., Bristow, Virginia
"I met with Michele to plan a nursery for my daughter. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted the theme or design to be. Michele had a lot of fantastic ideas and suggestions! We selected a design with pink stripes and flowers. When she began painting I couldn't wait to see the final product. The completed nursery walls more than exceeded my expectations! Everyone that sees the nursery absolutely loves it! She is extremely talented, very creative and a true perfectionist. I highly, highly recommend Special FX Studios!"Faline D., Haymarket, VA
