Fantasy rooms for siblings

// March 27th, 2012 // No Comments » // Faux Finishing, Featured Work, Murals, News, Process

Years ago, we did an upstairs fantasy room for 2 siblings, it was an elaborate and beautiful thing including a secret stairwell leading to the room and a wrap-around mural and hand painted furniture to match each portion fo the room.

But alas, the kids keep growing up and out grew the  original uses, so their parents separated the space with a new wall and we were tasked with updating the rooms:

The girl’s side includes fur-lined walls, glitter walls and trim, ceiling rings and a purple glitter rock-star shilouette. It also boasts a handpainted and jeweled mirror, a disco ball, dance lighting, and a touch sensitive light-up dance floor!

Go through that door in the back and you find yourself in the boy’s room:

The boys side was made into a car-themed game room, with metallic silver walls and ceiling, a bronze racing stripe, and hand-painted faux diamond stitched upholstery! It also boasts dual exhaust pipes in the ceiling with inset lights!

 

Any boy’s dream room!

We recently completed this boy’s room in Palos Verdes, Ca. It includes historic plane murals, Star Wars images, faux wood beams and doors, and a vintage map!

 

Each of these closet doors are fauxed to match the existing woods, in order to tie the room together.

 

This map is based on a vintage design and is complete with aged details and country names!

And here’s a video of our process with this room, we hope you enjoy it!

Happy St. Patricks day!
