PAINT MY WORLD

OPTION HOUSE PROJECT 

BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES

About the Images

As the transformations were taking place, there were many decisions to be made regarding the wall treatments throughout.  The Peacock Lounge on the second floor, which is a very long and narrow area with archways sectioning it off into seven smaller rooms within one very large room,  presented somewhat of a challenge.  It was decided that Paint My World would apply Faux Effects Lusterstone to the walls above the chair rail, and each of the seven areas would have a different color applied.  The colors were chosen based on those found in a peacock feather.  It was learned from old newspaper articles that were given to Sam, that this concept was originally used in the Peacock Lounge many, many years ago.  The luster of the product used created great elegance.  Peacock feathers were then embossed, tone on tone, on the walls.  Copper tiles were installed on the ceiling, a different pattern in each of the seven areas, and a copper base coat and glaze were then applied to the wall area above the picture rail.  The chair rail, wood panels below, and archways were painted in an off white and light tan.  So, with the areas above and below the multiple colors of Lusterstone finishes being uniform throughout, it pulled all seven areas together.
