The Game Room – Continued

Taping out border

I began the ceiling project by taping out the border. Here you also see the walls base painted a gold tone, in prep for a StucoLux™ finish.

Susan:modello
As I mentioned in my last post, Todd Cranor from Stencils By Design, cut and shipped us out this great wrought iron, one time use stencil. Again, I give full credit to Tim Haas and Linda Cassels-Hofmann of
Art Effects. I saw the exquisite ceiling they created and adapted the design for my client’s ceiling. There is a wrought iron table and chair set in this room, that works so well with this design concept. Plus, I knew it would look fabulous with the goldenrod colored StucoLux™ finish going on the walls. Here you see Susan pretending she is having fun working in such an awkward position. 🙂 She is burnishing part of the stencil design.

Design partially up and stenciled
Now I have the design partially stenciled, with only one piece of the stencil remaining on the ceiling.

Design completed
Voila! All stenciled, shaded and highlighted.

A further shot shows some of the foliage stenciled along the outside border of the ceiling.

Detail
A closer look at the detailing of the center stencil… before I cleaned up some of the jagged edges!

Room in progess:walls

While I was working on the ceiling, Susan was working on the StucoLux™ finish on the walls. She rolled the first coat, and troweled the next two. If you are not familiar with this product, it burnishes very easily. She used a sanding block, followed by a trowel to burnish. It comes to a high shine very quickly, unlike most plasters.

Here are two of the corners. I just used a variety of leaves to fill in
around the border.

I will have to get some photos of the walls and the table in this room from Susan and post next time.
