Gold Wash Over Burnished Plaster
 |
| Before |
This wall had an overhang which did not allow the mirror to be properly installed.
The dining area also shared space with the living room and office needing visual cohesion.
A wall was made for the mirror, and plastered.
A gold powdered wash was created to match the golden frame of the mirror.
The play of light brought out different layers of the wall.
In this view, you can see more of the plaster colour coming through from the golden finish.
