Hollywood flats covered in muslim, and glue-sized in 1:1 ratio.
Scumbling technique for basic color and highlights.
Sponging for texture, distress, and vignetting on the top and bottom edges.
A final layer of watered-down brown was spattered over all of the walls, to add a little more depth to them.
A paint deck was created with sheets of masonite stapled down on to the stage. They were base-coated with a light cream, and then snap-lined to suggest 6” and 8” wide planks.
Each board was painted individually using a wet-blend technique.
The wood grain was done using dry-brush technique.
A light coat of grey glaze was applied over the entire deck, to tone down the wood and to suggest it to be an older, aged floor.
The floor was finally sealed with one coat of semi-gloss polyurethane.
The stair unit was requested in a darker color scheme. A base coat of dark brown was followed by a red glaze and highlights, sealed with semi-gloss poly.
The white railing and moulding were distressed with applications of watered-down black.
A knee wall with a fragmented window also helped to suggest the look of the outside of the house. A white base coat was then distressed with watered-down black, brown, and touches of green to recreate mold.
Made to match the existing furniture pieces of the design, this custom-made cabinet was based-coated in a light brown and then grained with a darker tone, using dry-brush technique.
