Here is our dining room, very inviting huh...<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We created a warm neutral backdrop with subtle triple color glazed walls</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and large floor tiles with marble insets.<br />
We invested in a large french country farm table and 2 upholstered chairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its a nice start....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to make a formal decorative cornice on a budget of course.</div>

We measured the window, drew a few rough drafts </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and came up with an ambitious design.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I folded the brown roll paper in half, drew my pattern and began to cut.</div>

Hmmm.....It's little too ambitious...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now is the time to make alterations to your design, so back to the drawing table..</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see from the picture below we glued a strip of foam core </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to the top so we have something to attach to the wall.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a large ruler from home depot, cut it in half and hot glued my panels pleating them as I went along.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted my flanking panels to be 12 inches wide.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It doesn't have to be pretty since its being hidden by the cornice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't take pictures of the panel installation but we attached each one with 2 screws, drilling through the wooden rulers and <br />
pleated fabricthen affixed to the existing window casing. </div>

I Love this chair!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love the lines, scale, style, and price</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but..... it's the wrong color and the manufacturer doesn't offer it in different fabrics.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've seen some upholstery paints and was a little leery </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the paint changing the texture of the fabric.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thinking... Thinking... Should I ?... What if ?.....<br />
Eh...Wrap-em up!</div>

Fireplace facing walls can be challenging....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's see....<br />
You can build the usual bookshelves, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
maybe anchor the walls with art, or place furniture against them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted something that was going to reflect light in our house </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but not need to wear sunglasses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We decided to anchor the walls with a dramatic installation of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
antiqued patina mirror tiles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

When removing the silver from the back of a mirror I used a strong metal stripper(AMPS) and so the instructions stated it would require 70 degree's of heat or higher.<br />
Impatient me tried it in the house and I almost fumigated our family, so.....<br />
I'll have to wait for Mother nature to bring it!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I waited ....and waited..... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally a dream forecast of 80 degree weather and most importantly SUN!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I placed the tiles out on my deck back side up and rolled on my metal Stripper<br />
The sun curdled the backing in minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After I thoroughly cleaned them, I mixed and spayed the back of the mirrors with the patina mixture to achieve my desired look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Measure ... then measure again, use a level, then measure again... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
finally mark your points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We attached the mirrors with heavy duty double sided taped.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You only get one chance to place your tile,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there is no moving them after they're attached.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was the effect... I LOVE IT!!!<br />
You can go lighter or heavier with the patina product.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it needs a finishing touch...<span style="font-size: large;"> Oh Honey Sweetie Pie!!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Hubby customized a stunning frame around the mirrors using 6 inch crown stained in an ebony finish with a pearled acid wash in the grooves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Double stunning!! </div>

This was our YELLOW oak kitchen and it's about to get a makeover</div>
<div align="center">
We wanted a modern french feel, not the bright white cabinets, </div>
<div align="center">
but a soft neutral off-white color with a charcoal gray detail glaze<br />
<br />
</div>

<div align="center">
This was our tile color before we stained it</div>
<div align="center">
It's not bad but we want to go with a grey color scheme</div>
<div align="center">
It's very "peachy" in color and it tends to stand out <br />

<div align="center">
This is the look we wanted and we achieved it</div>
<div align="center">
I love the fact we didn't have to demo the kitchen tile and break the bank </div>
<div align="center">
to get a look we wanted </div>
<div align="center">
We also added crown molding to finish the look</div>
<div align="center">
Whats a french look without the crown. no?</div>
<div align="center">
After we painted the cabinets the tile color didn't compliment the rest of the kitchen so I use a product called stain and seal.</div>
<div align="center">
I mixed a metallic silver with a ebony and created a nice translucent grey tone.</div>
<div align="center">
I cleaned and prepped the surface and applied the product right on the tile</div>
<div align="center">
NO PRIMING!!! </div>
<div align="center">
I then stippled it and use a very high grade commercial top coat</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">

so it looks like a dark gray grout

<div align="center">
Some are easier then others to apply. This project required a special roller to apply the Ralph Lauren paint. When applying metallic paint be sure to use a fine fabric heavy nap roller. Always roll your metallic paints in the same direction. Never changing the position of the roller. For example, if your handle is faced to the right, always roll with the roller cage to the right. </div>

Starting with a clean surface insures a long lasting durable finish. We sprayed the entire desk black as well as the inside and outside of the drawers. This gives it a more professional look. After which we top coated it with a high-sheen water based poly-acrylic. Then we used a bronze metallic paint and cut it with a cream glaze medium which was brushed on and then wiped off with fine cheese cloth. </div>
