Default It really POPS!!!!

Howdy ya'll! Some new pictures of the latest creation. I have been commissioned again by a local drywall artist to apply the finishing touches to his art. The work is done with 1" thick drywall, and I thought I had seen it all. I was given free reign by the HO and drywall artist to choose the colors, the faux, and the layout of both.


The ceiling reminds me of the hurricane warning symbol:



A nice mirror effect above the doors:


Lovely ceiling work in the small landing:


This medallion really got my mind racing with possibilities!





I used mistint duration flat for the primer (kaching!), since the final colors were sequential I formulated a 50% color between the two for better coverage and color retention:


400 flat for the ceiling band...ignore the roller scrapes, it was a flat and they sand right out:


I decided to simplify the ceiling by using only the band color, I was going to use the wall color for the center of the ring:

Wall color is applied:








Faux time!!!! I chose the shimmer stone from Modern Masters for this project...great price because SW is kicking them to the curb...kaching!! I custom mixed the colors to go with the rug and furniture.




The shimmer doesn't photo very well, but in person it really POPS!!!!

I figured the "tendrils" would look good with a coat of shimmery goodness on them also!


Process is sloppy:


Finish is clean!!


The landing went the color scheme of the entry, the HO at first was going to use this scheme for the family room...I changed all of that quickly!! I think it looks best as a symmetrical balance to the family room, living on both sides:







I will have more finish shots, the house was buzzing with other contractors and I am "sensitive" to others in my work area...so I left.

A sad case of the "look at me's"!



I am such a loser because I set the camera up and ran to my ladder for this picture.

I am ashamed of my self.

I think that the drywall guy is impressive. There is a nice niche for a drywaller that can create artistic design in his work. I get into the drywall experience a bit I think I will play around.
I think it looks cool not the color schemes I would of gone with but you should add some more detailed finish pics because I do not think those are the finished lines. Are they?

That drywall sure adds character! I am not too sure about colors either, post finish pics when you are done! Nice to get a job where you can try new things!

Wise,

Nice effects of the plaster/mud. And nice concept with the colors. And not to be critical, because taste is very subjective, but the colors would not find favor with me. But as we say in the paper trade, "We don't pick 'em, we only stick 'em" . Our responsibilities are only to install correctly.

VERY nice work, despite the colors. Post the finished project, I'd be interested in seen how it looks. AND, if you could, try a very wide angle lens so the area as a whole can be absorbed.

it just looks like the paint is wet. Probably shining from the flash of the camera.

Sheet rock work is awesome. Like what your doing with the place...the colors aren't really my taste. But if it matches their stuff, glad I don't have their furniture.

Thank you all, the colors are set to fit in with the Asian influence from the many Chinese foreign exchange students she hosts, and her adopted Chinese daughter...

...nobody picked out the Chinese symbols on the window.

WisePainter's free professional advice for the day:
"Awareness of the pre~existing environment will assure the success in any project that includes color consulting".

The colors are taken from the same area of the color strip (3rd & 4th color down) as the green, which was pre~existing drywall art project in the entryway.
I realize the faux technique here is unfamiliar to most here due to the price of materials and labor required to apply it effectively to the manufacturers specs...more importantly satisfy the client, but I can assure you in person it really POPS!!
