Delightful Dining Rooms

The deep eggplant Lusterstone plaster ceiling draws the eye upward in this Whitehouse Station dining room. The pearlescent glazed stripes add a depth not found with commercial wallpapers.

Before: White paint does nothing to distinguish the features in this Basking Ridge, NJ dining room.

After: Pearlescent texture on the walls, and a shimmery glaze on the ceiling help make this room rich. A faux walnut treatment on the moldings and accents on the medallion provide the finishing touches.

This Branchburg, NJ dining room has a deco edge with metallic navy paint below the chair rail and a textured, pearlescent strie' above.

Bold and Beautiful Palettes

The new, faux ebony finished moldings around the doors and skylight help bring this foyer into scale. The new tile and pumpkin colored Venetian plaster walls join in making a dramatic statement in this space.

Before and After: An eating area is transformed. The cinnabar lamp and Blue Louise granite in the adjoining kitchen inspired the color palette in this room. Decorative details include glazed crown moldings, a pearlescent terra cotta glazed ceiling, and light blue Venetian plaster walls. New fabrics add the finishing touches.

Walls with Character

The 10' high walls in this Bridgewater, NJ powder room are treated with a Lusterstone plaster. The stenciled, faux stone molding runs along the wall as wel as the ceiling to add greater dimension to the space.

The finish in a Bernards Township sunroom started with a slightly grainy plaster, which is over-glazed and sanded back. This reveals shimmering quartz crystals, for the illusion of real stone.

After: Custom designed, hand-crafted wallcoverings and picture panel moldings give this space the unique yet traditional flair the homeowner was seeking.
