Dreamy and Glamorous
I’ve been blessed to
have several art collecting clients lately. It is pure joy creating back drops
for their collections. Art collectors also recognize the huge blank canvas in
every room- the ceiling. The ceiling can set the tone for the entire room. One recent homeowner has a knack for art and
antique collecting and a serious streak for glamour. Nothing is more glamorous
than foil faux finishes and glitter faux finishes. It was also week one for the
newest assistant. Delving in head-first he learned techniques for foiling,
plastering, glitter-mica fluff, and oil rubbed bronze effects.
First up were the Master Bedroom and Sitting room
ceilings along with two large niches which were at 2nd floor height
but seen from all areas on the 1st and 2nd floor. Each
surface received a mix of silver foil and antique gold foil. Flicks of bronze
foil were also added into the master ceiling surface. Lusterstone plaster was then troweled onto The
Master ceiling and Sitting room ceilings. Using various shades of white Lusterstone
the overall effect is dreamy and glamorous just like the homeowner.

The ceilings were gorgeous even before the dreamy plaster was added:
The mingling of the silver and antique gold faux finish creates a glamorous backdrop
for the homeowners urns and statues:
Neutral tones of foil and plaster are perfect if you're accentuating art pieces. Of course, mixing foil and plaster doesn't mean you have to remain neutral. Some of my homeowners opted to have the ceiling be the work of art:
