Current Affairs

I'm currently working on a wine cellar in Beacon NY. The project emcompasses colorwashing, on the walls, a ceiling mural, and a small mural depicting cherubs. I expect to finish next week, and I'll post a few preliminary images after that. As a preview, above is an early roughed in sketch from the small mural showing the angels opening a bottle of champagne.

I'm planning on being in Denver for the 2nd half of March to work on a few projects, and line up a few projects for sometime in the Summer. If you're in Denver, and interested in receiving an estimate for a project, please email me at info@christopheralbert.com

Powder Room, Yorktown Heights

I'm catching up a little on photographing a few projects. I'll be posting these images in the coming weeks. Generally I'll take a few quick shots when I finish my portion of a room, but it may take some time longer for a room to be fully finish, as with this powder room project from 2004. The project is located in Yorktown Heights NY. I worked on the paneling on the bottom half of the room, and the crown moulding at the ceiling. The designer, Rena Wilhelm, stipulated a sort of faux bois effect, but using a bronze metallic glaze. Between the treatment on the paneling, and the wallpaper, the transformation of the room is dramatic, and of another time.



The mirror also received some antiquing.

The crown moulding features the same treatment as the paneling, along with a touch of gilding to highlight some some of the moulding details
