Finally here is a finished look for the Lusterstone plaster walls
and ceiling in the Master Bath area. This is what Lusterstone
is all about.
The formal dining room fully furnished showing off the Venetian Plaster
beauty to it's fullest. The inlaid stencil's were applied last and were rubbed down by applying the base color over
the top's to soften the overall pattern. A truly finished look for any home.
Custom
Venetian Plaster technique before we actually took the golden background plaster and went back over the embedded stencils
( that are creamier and lighter) to create a more fresco look in this formal dining room are which is the center focal of
the whole house. This look could be accomplished in almost any color scheme upon request.
A powder bath finish to show off to any and all of your guest's.
Venetian plaster with several layers polished to a satiny finish and then we added a stencil pattern also with venetian plaster
in a muted red tone. Pull it all together with this ultra modern sink and mirror and it is a work of art.
Kids bathroom walls covered in a texture and raised stencil pattern custom made for this little
girl, per request.
All of the iron work stair rails with gold and copper highlights throughout the house.
The before shot of the dining room walls with the approved sample of what is about to happen.
When doing these type of projects we always try to start with custom approved samples so that the customer knows what to expect
and the finisher knows exactly where to take it as far as color and technique.
Also before fresco treatment added to complete the look.
Master bath area walls get Lusterstone ( see it started ) and the cabinets get a stencil and over glaze
treatment.
Stencils started and Lusterstone getting started.
Master bath walls before we actual started the lusterstone look with the original sample board that is showing us
the finished look to the customer as well as letting them know that this will be the new look for the entire room, walls and
ceilings.

The kitchen area cabinets and island shot from the living room area.
The cabinets are glazed with a gray wash that the was pulled from the marble counter-tops and was kept very subtle. Showroom caliber if ever there was one.
A beautiful theatre room with black and red columns that have several
special treatments on them to enhance the entire theatre experience. It all works to create a very special area.
Kitchen
cabinets formally glazed in a red mahogany/cherry look highlighted with a black toner glaze to create a much older and refined
look. The rest of the kitchen is painted a very white off white and finished off with a light gray glaze related to
the white carrara marble that is used on all of the counter tops to give it a new but old feel that works with the space.
The
island stained look before we did the black glaze toner to enhance the overall look. This is the other side of the island
as it has different features but it is the same island.
This
is the down stairs Powder bath area that we also did in a Venetian Plaster technique but went in a totally warmer color palette
to compliment this area. This space is compiled of two room (sink area and toilet area) connected by a rounded corner arched
doorway with no door. This is an extra challenge to use plaster on rounded corners and to make it look good. After
the plaster was completed but before it was burnished, we again added special stencils to create extra movement in the space
and to complete the look and feel that we were going for to the joy of both my team and the home owner.
The two pictures above, the main
kitchen area, glazed and a stencil applied to the vent a hood area, and the shot of the custom stencil technique in the main
entry softened with a glaze to make the transformation complete. This Lusterstone picture is the
finished look to the Prestonshire set on the previous set of pictures but it does give you a good look at what the lusterstone
movements and how it picks up on the light.
Early shot of the master bath before look.
Office/study area walls painted an orange red and glazed with a warm brown to create a suede look. Ceiling also given a nice warm movement.
Formally black columns painted black and then crackled with a bright red and then glazed over to really
age the Theatre area of the house.
After Venetian treatment and Venetian stencil added but before we toned back the perfect stencil look
with more of the base colors to give it more of a fresco look.
