Let the Art Begin!

Let's check in on our bathroom project. Progress has stumbled a little, due to some materials not arriving when expected, but luckily work is still progressing.

Bead-board wainscoting has been installed, and all doors and windows received new trims more appropriate to the design. The travertine floors have been completely covered to protect them during the remainder of the construction process.

As we begin to piece together the artistic project, the client has chosen artisan Ron Francis to do a Venetian plaster finish on the ceiling, and behind the vanity mirrors. The first coats in the process were layers of cream colors, in finishes and glazes that will reflect the light and give the ceiling texture. A very small amount of color was added in the final coats...a green-blue that mimics the color of the integral glass sink and counter top.

You'll see how beautifully this ceiling color works in our next photos, where we'll reveal the installed cabinetry, and the sink-counter top. We're currently waiting for a tub, toilet, sconces and faucets...but, next week I can reveal the cabinetry to keep you on the hook!
