While in Kentucky, Cuffe taught a faux finishing course at a local community college. There she started her own business, Decorative Finishes By Adriene. In October 2000, after Doug Cuffe started having problems with his back, the Cuffes moved back to Vero Beach. Mrs. Cuffe continued on with her business. She can re-create styles such as Old World Fresco, marbling, Old World crackle, Italian plaster, suede, leather, art palette deco, stone effects, tortoise shell, clouds and many more.
Transformation begins with imagination.
I love what I do and feel blessed to have the ability to envision the finished product before I begin. Mrs. Cuffe said if you can see it in your mind, you can put it in on the wall or floor. I love whimsy. The creative possibilities are limitless, Koehler agreed. For Mrs. Cuffe, every job is unique and challenging.
