Surfaces

The restaurant will be designed to appear as if it has been there for 100 years.  I will be applying decorative paint techniques that give an aged appearance to all architectural elements and furniture in the space.  For the walls I have proposed a very soft creamy tone on tone technique that is applied in a way to resemble an aged plaster (sample on left).  The ceiling will be painted using the same technique but in a lighter value.  Both surfaces are finished with a tinted varnish which adds the aged appearance.  The floor will be stained in a Jacobean color (sample in middle).  This is one of my favorite stain colors because of its neutrality.  Its hue and value compliment most colors.  The furniture will be distressed in variations of the sample on the right utilizing blues, greens and off whites finished with a tinted varnish.
