A Home Tour in Deliciously Faux Painted Patina

A Home Tour in Delicious Faux Painted Patina

The beauty of patina on copper, bronze, and other metal surfaces has long been admired for its colorful variations in blue and greens. The weathered vintage finishes are sought after here in Southwest Florida and are used for both interior and exterior home finishes. This week’s featured home is bursting with the color combination of antique dusty blue & green patinas along with brilliant metallic shades of fresh polished copper. The palette is so delicious we decided to show this as a home tour.

We’ll start the tour in the center of the home: The great room. The ceiling is to die for in matte blue and green patinas of aged copper veined in oxidized rust with flashes of brilliant copper peeking through:

The feature wall in the great room is reactive copper oxidized in a solution that allows natural occurring patina to take place within hours what would naturally take decades. Rather than oxidize the entire wall, the solution was sprayed across the top and gravity gave the random effect:

Incorporated in the great room the kitchen features a matte chalky finish of blue green:

The home's entrance offers the first look at the breath taking faux finishes with copper foil texture ceilings overlaid with blue and green patina :

The same faux finish is carried into the formal dining room ceiling:

The dining room is a delightful combination of the ceiling colors brought onto the walls:

View from the dining room into the entrance hall. You can see a copper metallic faux painted niche created as a backdrop for the client's tropical artwork:

The guest powder bath is a delightful very personalized faux painted finish. The walls are a gently wash of pale sage green and off white. The marquis pattern is in bright copper. At the center of every other marquis is a marble. The marbles are inspired from a personalized commissioned art piece painted by Mossad agent turned artist, Victor Ostrovsky.:

The master bedroom is a romantic oasis. The ceiling is faux painted in metallic shades of deep teal and peacock blue and deepens on the edges into an oil rubbed bronze:
