Decorative & Specialty Finishes

This is where finishing crosses into artistry: Venetian plaster, metallic and silver-leaf ceilings, layered glazes, and the decorative treatments that turn a ceiling or a wall into the centerpiece of a room.

It's specialty work with few practitioners — it takes a painter's decades and an artist's eye. Each treatment is designed for the room's light, because these finishes live and change with the sun and the evening lamps.
