This piece was dwarved by the tuscan texture in the room around it…a little paint and glaze,faux wormholes and antiquing gave this piece some new splendor!

….SO the removal and repair of the fluted accents were a huge start.Then the robins egg blue Ben Moore enamel was a great start to modernize this dated mantle;to belong in this hip and modern water front space we had a lot to consider.Next i antiqued and took a design from a piece of wall art already installed by the
client.Created a stencil then accented it with darker browns and the hue of the blue.Waalaa!It now works in the environment and with the clients individual style.
