The opening gala date for the Showhouse is approaching, May 7th so I am busy pulling the room together.

Here my decorative painters are applying a striae on the walls of the bedroom which is a custom color glaze that is done with mica mineral powders. The sheer gold color of the glaze allows the base color to come through, with the micas in the glaze providing luminosity while refracting the light and turning the blue base into shades of aqua. This technique gives the room a depth in color and dimension, complementing all the elements in the room.

The ceiling incorporated both silver and gold. By distressing the actual silver toned metal leaf that has been applied to the ceiling, exposing the gold beneath, followed by a sheer metallic gold glaze, the ceiling has more depth and warmth than any solid colored ceiling could provide.

 

Visit the Showhouse from May 8th – June 12th located at: 
205 West Patent Road
Bedford Corners, New York 10549
