This mahogany beamed ceiling was first given a faux copper treatment. Inside of each panel (almost five feet square!) a shimmery, metallic texture (Lusterstone) was used to create this intricate design. This is the ceiling of the Venetian plaster dining room coming up in the slideshow.

This is one of 12! This room is INCREDIBLE!

Hand polished Venetian plaster in a deep red make an appetizing backdrop for this dining room. (This picture was taken before the ceiling was complete.)

This moody sky ceiling adds drama to a luxurious formal living space.

In a room such as this, the ceiling was just crying out for some decoration. The carpentry on the ceiling turns into something really special when it serves as a frame work for this classic ceiling painting.

This very elegant dining room features a beautiful faux finish treatment that emulates limestone. The upper walls have a burnished metallic bronze stripe, and the ceiling is also finished in a burnished metallic bronze. Be sure to look closely at the corners, angles, and centering of the stripes in the room. Excellent planning and layout are the marks a true professional.

The perfect "topping" to this striped room is a burnished bronze effect that matches the stripe on the upper walls.

This plain white column was treated with a cherry wood grain to complement the kitchen moldings. You should see this in person! Magnificent! The walls were glazed in a lovely sage green adding a soft, sophisticated look to this family friendly room.

This shows a detail of newly constructed wall unit and fireplace surround. The wood was given an "antique" treatment, and subtle flourishes. You can see the "before" of this picture as you view the faux rock fireplace in the next frame.

These three dimensional faux rocks were made on a drywall base as support for real stone was unavailable. The rocks look and feel real. This project was featured in PWC Magazine May 2002 issue.

The walls in this room were textured, painted copper and glazed to a dramatic perfection in this contemporary Arts and Crafts home.

A soft copper patina was given to the Lincrusta Dado in this Living Room.

Iridescent Mother of Pearl finish is on the outside of this bathing beauty!

Here is the rest of the room! The walls have an antique gold Shimmerstone finish. Shimmerstone is a metallic, textural product, that in this case, made the walls shimmer like fools gold. The embroidered silk shower curtain was custom made for the tub. Oh la la!

A tone on tone stripe and decorative painted flourish under each sconce sets an elegant mood in this pretty room.
