Philharmonic Design House - 2014, The Strands in Dana Point, CA Home Spa/Wellness Retriet, Ceiling Art Dana Point, CA Interior Designer, Robert Esterley, www.EsterleyDesigns.com This Home Spa/Wellness Retriet was the perfect solution to contributing to a relaxing environment inside the 2014 Philharmonic Design House. A converted bedroom, the transformation began with colors on the walls and a deeply layered faux treatment on the ceiling inset. The Interior Designer in this space asked for the following experience: "I want soft, soothing, tranquil. I want the ceiling to look like the ocean. From the perspective of floating under water, and looking up through the water and into the sky beyond" The process entailed approximately 14 steps, with a finish of 2 layers of hand troweled wax buffed to an ocean-like sheen. Soft, soothing, calming, peaceful, joyful healing energies were added through our every brushstroke.
