Thanks! The ceiling is silver leaf that is hand applied. It creates a truly elegant look:-)

I could do that! of course, all the blood would rush out of my arms & I'd pass out... but it'd be worth it1 ;)

Yes, it would be worth it! Maybe you can ask some friends to help. My brother, Bill Riley, a professional scenic/faux artist and his daughter, Gillian Riley, also a professional scenic and renowned fine artist, did this together:-) (Bill Riley can be reached at: Rileycreative1@mac.com)

I know I'm repeating this comment, as others have also said it, but the ceiling is breathtaking. I love the rug, also, and the warm, rich colors in this room. I'm looking for updates for my coffered ceiling...I am often bedridden and this silver-leaf would certainly add light and reflection to what is now a beige/dreary ceiling. Thank you for the inspiration!

Thanks! The silver leaf would be lovely to see and even better the quality of the light in the room will change and feel more peaceful and grounding. I hope you get it:-)
