When I created the sample finish for this dramatic great room, I took inspiration from the irridescent glass mosaic tile-work. (The white outlets "disappeared" after the furnishings were installed, otherwise I would have painted them to match.)
The views looking West, toward the kitchen and breakfast nook. The walls were especially gorgeous in the afternoon and evening light, as the metallic layers caught the setting sun.
We started with a burgundy base-coat on contractor textured walls, and then sponged on a custom tinted cherry red metallic. When dry, we waxed the walls with a mixture of liquified Minwax (diluted with mineral spirits) and Kremer pigments Colibri glitter-gold. By waxing I mean that we trowelled-on a thin amount of the gold wax with flexible knives and then buffed the wax with terry-cloth towels to a soft sheen. Interior Design: Marilyn Lewis
