Rusted Steel Bar







I hand-troweled this bar, knicking, pitting and scuffing and smoothing it to look aged and beaten. Then I painted it with a silver metallic paint and layered it with my rusting/aging techniques and glazing. It goes so well with our industrial dining table..luckily I finished it all up 3 hrs before people started showing up:)

Travertine-Like Master Bedroom



















I hand-troweled these walls with the help of my friend Karen to look like a slightly pitted, rough veined "chocolate" travertine. The photos aren't the greatest, but it turned out looking pretty darn cool. Some people really like their rooms to be a bit darker, almost cave-like...this finish pulled that off. The ceiling was hand-troweled slightly smooth and then painted with a iron rusted finish. All vents, lights, fixtures were also done in a rust finish to complete the look. I haven't been able to capture how it really looks in photos.
The frames in the photo were originally a bright white, I re-aged and stained them to go better with the room.

Custom Aged Lockers




These lockers were originally pristine white lockers from The Bombay company...I dutifully banged, hammered, scuffed, repainted and rusted them to go into a sports fanatic boys room. I also replastered and painted the walls and ceiling...custom painted and rusted a fan and a trunk, trash can and magazine holders...and...crackle aged and repainted all the trimwork and doors. I will pull more pictures in another post.
