Pretty Silver Leafed Cabinets…

I love this pair of chairs I silver leafed-

I’ve yet to leaf a bathroom vanity, but I’d love the opportunity (not sure where I pulled this photo from)

I adore these pieces from Italian craftier Lineatre

 Isn’t that the most romantic tub?

It looks like a golden metallic plaster troweled on the walls

Every piece of furniture is silver leafed, even the toilet seat!    I love it all!   Do you have any pieces you’d like leafed?  Hire me ,   or sign up for a workshop at my store and I’ll show you how to do it yourself

A Vanity Goes Lucious Silver, With A Glaze…

Fun job- vanity cabinet revamp…

Client’s wishes?  A soft, romantic silver glazed finish…

 I first gave the cabinet a basecoat of Caromal Colours Reclaim Mocha -  a dark brown paint that sticks to almost any surface, ( it has a built in primer) – then applied a mix of Modern Masters Metallic Silver and Warm Silver paint

the final finish- over the custom silver basecoat I applied a toning glaze, then a topcoat for protection

such a pretty, romantic finish…

Lovely ending – not a difficult finish, but one that requires steps/layers – and each needs to dry…

but I enjoyed this client’s company, and was sad to finish!

Silver Glaze Spiffing Of Some White Trimwork…

I posted about this bathroom late last year -

I did a cool finish on the ceiling, and also jazzed up the white trim detail that boxed in the tub.

I started with two basecoats of Modern Masters Silver Metallic Paint and let it dry over night.

I glazed it with a custom mix of brown and gold glazes… mica powder and a touch of Blue Pearl wall leaf for extra measure-

Much nicer!

Focal Painting Part I Complete….

Powder Room Ceiling-

Troweled Espresso and Cocoa Lusterstones-

Second Layer, troweled a mix of Shimmer Suede Pewter, and Lusterstones Espresso, Brown Suede and Antique Parchment, wet into  wet-   all together… let it sit a bit then knocked it all down -

I love troweling colors of Lusterstone together -

Scroll back up and look at the difference from the original ceiling -
