Before and After

The base color in the living room and hallway walls are the same with this difference: the living room walls has had a colored glaze coat applied to it. Thus the transition into the heavily trafficked hallway is practical and attractive.

The walls, windows and even the skylights were covered with rough wood paneling. We removed all the wood, replacing it with new wallboard. Then we plastered the brick fireplace into a vertical wall step design, adding tiles to its base, creating a smooth transition to the observation deck.

The newly glazed walls create a handsome background for the new window dressing and furniture.

Subtly glazed walls, complemented by the stark white ceiling, base mouldings,and window frames and gently colored sideboard lend this room both grace and charm.

These newly installed alder cabinets were clear-coated with satin finish on the inside, then sprayed with an oil base satin enamel on the outside. Functional, serviceable, and lovely to look at.

Before applying any type of reflective finish, it is imperative the ceilings or the walls be prepared in such a way that little or no imperfections can be seen. Even in this new home, the modern day construction methods were hidden nicely from the home buyer with flat commercial grade wall paint. We had to skim-coat and sand the walls of this two story foyer and only then spray multiple coats of gold pearlized finish.

Light and Height always make symmetry difficult when doing a faux finish. When glazing two or three stories upward you need the right people and equipment, otherwise you cannot get results like this:a beautifully subtle camel-colored base with glaze,evenly done from top to base.

Transition shades are a great effect, especially when you have the right room to do them in. Here the green shade is taken from the wall and moved to the lowest soffet where it has been subtly lightened. Ascending to the next soffet , the color is lightened yet again. Finally, trace amounts of the color still remain in the ceiling creating a soft, ethereal outcome.

The walls, windows and even the skylights were covered with rough wood paneling. We removed all the wood and replaced it with new wallboard. We then plastered the old brick fireplace into a vertical wall step design and added tiles to its base. Now with the architecture of this home truly visible, we applied a neutral finish, letting the natural light show off it’s newly discovered aesthetic.

This renewed assisted-living facility required us to replace areas of trim, repair wallboard around newly installed can lighting, remove wallpaper, skim coat, sand, prime, and topcoat ceiling, walls ,doors and newly installed trims. The lasting effect for residents: permanent, airy, restful.
