In the planning stages of this decorative finish project, I worked exclusively with my associate Michael at design firm Eleven Interiors. Michael was working with the client on multiple rooms of the home for a large-scale renovation and wanted something unique and special to elevate the dining room. With the idea in hand to paint the walls and tray-ceiling surround the same color, Michael came to me with the goal of achieving something metallic and glossy in a champagne/silver color for the recessed tray ceiling.
With this direction, I suggested a specialty metallic plaster finished in gloss polyurethane to create motion, shimmer and shine. Michael liked the idea, and I was on to creating sample boards! I did a few examples showing variations in color and sheen, which Michael shared with the client for the final choice.
By the time I got to the house for my piece of the project, the larger renovation was wrapping up – so the client was at the home preparing to move back in. When she saw my finish completed in her dining room, she was thrilled! In particular, she loved the hand-crafted, one-of-a kind look… As Michael was shooting for, it felt “special”. She told me “I never had any idea this was even an option. I’m so happy my designer suggested it!!”.
Enjoy!
