Gold & Silver Leaf- Walls, Ceilings and More…

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Silver Leaf  is well worth the investment…

it is a timeless amazingly beautiful treatment for walls,  & ceilings (if you can stand the pain!)


It can find a home comfortable in ANY environment-

think of it as Jewelry for your house.

Too much ruins the outfit, BUT we all can use a little BLING!


The Powder Room below needed some dressing up…

The silver leaf walls reflect the light from the window above.

This Dining Room ceiling (below) was silver leafed in order to reflect light, add elegance,  and age to a new home.

It is details like these that help newer homes have the charm of older ones.

Daylight with out any lights on…just stunning.

reflection of sconce light on the ceiling is awesome!!

View from down low looking up- the ceiling was first painted a mustard yellow,

but any color underneath the leafing looks cool!

The nice thing about a silver leafed ceiling is that it is timeless,

goes with any decor,  and is a true decorating investment.

what do you think?


Stenciled Headboard Ideas

Monday, October 4th, 2010

I really, really LOVE seeing what inspirational ideas my customers come up with,

and share with me!

Here is an AWESOME headboard, by Katie.


She used the Gigi Repeat stencil in metallic paint-

Way to go ! This adds a lot of style and depth to the whole room.

Thank you for sharing.

Have a great day!

Transform the “Built-In Bookcase” to a Piece of painted furniture!

Built – In furniture really is great, it has very clean lines, fits perfectly into the space, provides great storage, BUT…

It lacks Character!

SO

What if the crown moulding above the Built-In is connected to the rest of the room?

If it is part of a Built-In paint it the SAME color as the Built- In,

This really CAN be different then the rest of the trim in a room!

REALLY, YOU CAN do this!

Here is an example- This Built-In used to be the SAME color as the rest of the trim in the room!

What a huge difference.

Enjoy!
