Cosmic Rooms Blog

These are the final pics I took at the completion of the project.  I may have more pics to add, am planning on going back over there during the daylight hours to capture some photos of the room under natural light conditions.

Only two pics in natural light:

More trim details….the white glossy trim really make the wall POP!  The original color of the trim was a tan color.  I highly recommend glossy ultra pure white for the trim in any home for that polished look.

Looks like real marble doesn’t it?  And the white trim really sets it off under ambient lighting…

And that completes our fascinating tour of my new marble wall project!  Homeowner is happy and I am very pleased as well with my painting of the new marble walled room!

Aahhhh …a sigh of relief as the faux finish project is finally at its completion!    It’s been a long few weeks of working here and there on this one.

Here are more photos:

Glossy white trim adds a nice touch to the elegant marble…perfect compliment.

More final pics on the next post.

I skipped updated a few days but I continued with the walls I was working on.

Let’s back track a bit here. I have primed the walls with coats of primer since the original walls were a medium blue color.

Then I did 1 coat of basecoat in “swiss coffee” in Behr Satin Finish. Swiss Coffee looks like cream with a splash of coffee but essentially, it looks off white

I then began my 2 tone wash on one wall. What was interesting is that I set out to do a subtle wash, here’s the sample board I worked on the night prior:

But what ended up happening was a bit more dramatic…in a good way! I just let my creativity go since the homeowner gave me a lot of freedom to do what I feel is the best thing. Here’s the wall I finished:

As you can see, it is not as subtle as my sample board however, it has a lot more detail and looks nice! It was commented by someone who is a pro in the faux finish world that what I did has a marble feel, looks like unpolished stone! All I know is that I was being creative and this was what came out of me. I love art!
