Yesterday was a day of testing colors, making sure everything worked together on a large scale. Sadly it wasn't working very well but after some 'meeting of the minds' and a spirited discussion we opted for a much brighter color scheme for the room, going away from the decorator's choice of taupe on the walls and ceiling and going back to my original concept of having the walls a blended blue instead. My daughter Rebecca worked her magic and came up with a pearlized color scheme that will go from a very light blue on the ceiling to a darker blue as it works down the walls. The indirect LED lighting just below the large pipes will now be blue instead of white creating an almost magical underwater feel. It is going to be incredible when it is done!
The blue base coats on the wainscoting is looking cool. On the upper walls we are doing super white base coats before we go on to blended blue pearl and the darker patinas on the edges. The ceiling will be 2' square T-bar ceiling but we will press our MultiCam into service once more to make large rivets for each corner of the tiles, transferring a little magic above too.
Tomorrow we will be back at it, working a little overtime as we strive to get the room finished before the beautiful cork floor goes in - only a week away!
Stay tuned!
