Master Bedroom Accent Wall

 

There seems to be a lot of indecision about what is going to happen with this room. I am having discussions daily with my client about the vision for this room and how it will all come together, as a whole, in the end. I’m constantly taping up the sample boards and fabric to try to further illustrate the concept. That said, I’m concentrating first on the Accent Wall.

Ginkgo 2

The wall now has a soft peach tone, metallic glaze on it. I drew an assortment of large Ginkgo leaves on some masking film and cut out the shapes. I then used the cut out shapes on the wall to help decided the placement of the leaves.

Ginkgo 1

Once I had that determined, I then replaced the cutout with the stencil I made. All of the leaves are going to receive a foil treatment, so I first based each leaf with a coordinating metallic paint.

If you do not want to draw and cut your own Ginkgo leaves, they are available as modellos here.

Foils Here’s a close up of the copper foil on one of the leaves, edged with celedon green foil. I’m using copper, green and gold foils.

Pattern

Once I had the foils on, I added a pattern to each of the leaves, using three different stencils from Royal Design Studios: this small Camel Bone Weave, Scallops, and Oriental Vine Allover.

New creams

I had just ordered a set of the new metallic stencil creams from Royal Designs and was dying to try them out. They come in some very beautiful colors and are a lot of fun to stencil with!

Ginkgos 5

Here are a few leaves in progress.

Gems2

All of the leaves will eventually get some Swarovski gems. While I am waiting for my lastes shipment to arrive, I used some left over Fire Opal gems I had from the foyer. I ordered some green and gold toned gems to go with the Fire Opal.

Gems close

Here’s a close up of the Scallop pattern with the gems. I’m loving this Scallop design and think I may have to find a spot for it in my house. It works really well with the gems.

More to come…
