MOLLIE GILBERT  and JESSE with Lucy the pit bull

It was a challenging job since it was my first in CA for the new year.  The walls were from 1908 and the ceiling was cracked from the age.  But Mollie had picked a great wallpaper from Bradbury and Bradbury, and the room needed a color to go with the metallic pattern.  Well , Mollie found it!  Tropical dusk from Benjamin Moore.  The kicker was the pearlescent trim and ceiling.  By faux painting the ceiling with a stucco skip swirl, The tiny hairline cracking seemed to disappear.  The trim being done in pearl makes the room glow and with the "ball-busting" chandelier Jesse and I spent an hour hanging : )  The room was finished and is a major jump toward excellence in the new year.  Thanks to all.  Hope Lucy Fur feels better!
