Viktor
Schvaiko Viktor
has added a finishing touch to several of our homes by painting
beautiful interior murals on walls and ceilings. (click
to see his murals)
Just a little
roof over a side entrance can add so much to the character of
an old Victorian, or even a new Victorian like this one. You
can't buy woodwork like this, so we made every piece by hand
in our shop.
