For this powder room ceiling I used a gold/bronze base with a charcoal top coat. Then to add some sparkle a touch of the gold/bronze as a rub.

The designer on this job found this gorgeous burled wood fireplace. Once it was installed, she decided it needed more height. She had a contractor build the crown out of particleboard and installed the resin cast columns. Then I painted the crown to match the fireplace and the columns to match the travertine tiles on the surround.
This wall was a large white area in the room that just sorta disappeared. For this job, I first marbleized the fireplace and the columns. I painted the wall a soft gold that matched the gold trailing around the ceiling edge. I tea stained the edges of the gold wall to add interest. The picture frame molding and the crown molding I painted a seafoam green also tea stained and highlighted with gold.
