Guinness Room
Main elements for this room:
- Large 13 foot x 13 foot brick and plaster wall (1/2″ facade bricks attached to the wall with drywall and plaster between – faux finish plaster for the aged finish)
- Large antique style crate that hides the stereo and gaming systems beneath the TV (front 6 panels are speaker fabric)
- Tall window coverings (stylized after a middle easter nbazaar) the curtains can be either left flat or raised up by the pulley system on the ceiling
- Copper tubing around floor holds speaker wires etc.
- British military pith helmet lamp (the lamp uses the same copper tubing as used on the floor and houses the light within the helmet)
- 2 oil lamp lights (originally used as real oil lamps, these lamps were taken apart and reconfigured to be hanging lights)
Super cool! Love the work. When you get a chance check out our faux finish at http://www.mojofaux.com. There might be some ideas you could incorporate into the amazing designs!
Hi,
Your work is amazing. I can’t stop drooling over your rooms.
I love the lanterns in this room. Did you make these or did you purchase them somewhere.
Thanks so much!!!
Staci, Yes I made the lights in that room. Found an old pith helmet on ebay and the 2 old oil lanterns. Wired them all with period style hardware.
