• “Our design for a modern apartment flat in a prestigious building in Georgetown is articulated by carefully modulated floor finishes, strategic disposition of ceiling panels and the use of bold color elements to create a flow of space and organization that belies the large program and expansive floor plan on one level. Victoria Bingham, of Buon Fresco executed a series of Venetian plaster wall elements in a bold but soft orange which ties everything together – she was a pleasure to work with and the final results were stunning.”            Robert Dudka, AIA,  Richard Williams Architects

• "It's so beautiful, I could just cry!"  Vicky Malone, Mclean VA viewing her newly stenciled ceiling.
