Lovely new tile work, compliments of the homeowner.    I had tile envy!

The walls and ceiling were ready for a new paint finish.  The existing wall finish was a previously painted  ‘faux’ finish, from, I would guess, years ago -

The new wall finish was to be

- a layer of troweled metallic plaster (Lusterstone Champagne Mist) with some more metallic plaster pulled through it (Lusterstone Silver Taupe and ShimmerSuede White Gold)

- a layer of  stone  (Sandstone mixed with Villagio Corrado) , randomly wobbled on and knocked donw

- a layer of Gilded Walnut Glaze and Brown Faux Creme over top

Ceiling -  simple glaze over Setcoat Neutral

I made a judgment error.  I assumed my first troweled layer would cover the existing finish pattern.  I guessed wrong.  The dark swooshes of green on the walls?  Those relayed through the plaster. So I had to wipe off what I’d started, dry it , and then base paint all the walls with Setcoat.  Cost me an extra layer – time and money, but at least it was not a huge area.

This was the finished goods, but the power was out – (huge wind storm that downed lines and trees)-

When they get everything put back together I will stop by for more photos – hopefully the lights will be back on!
