A client who has used me in the past to do a mural in her playroom and specialty finishes her retail shop had me back in her house to elevate the living room and dining room!
Starting with the dining room, we wanted to do something special with the large, coffered ceiling. Factoring in the existing color scheme and décor, silver leaf was the perfect fit! By hand-applying individual sheets of imitation silver leaf in each of the 9 coffered sections of the ceiling, we got just the hand-crafted look of elegance my client was looking for!
In the adjacent living room, my client wanted something subtle done with the walls that would be more special and decorative than straight paint, but not so busy that it would dominate the space. To create this look, we used metallic plaster in a color I mixed to tie together the slightly warm off-white trim color with the silver leaf of the dining room ceiling. The slight mottling and soft motion of the plaster worked perfectly with the color scheme and offset the grid of the ceiling beautifully!
Enjoy!!
