My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    There are a lot of possibilities as to what it actually is. Wallpaper is never ending and very clever nowadays or even 12"x12" paper effect panels but unlikely due to the distressed nature along the top right portion of wall. There is a wavy imperfection in the middle of the wall along the right half which implies hand applicated gold or copper leafing. It has a certain glow about it so I would think gold with a ton of amber toned glazes and sealers over it. However it was achieved it is truly amazing! Too bad the installer didn't get some sort of mention;)

      Thank you. I'll look into wallpaper and gold or copper leafing. Maybe even metallic paints.

      I would love to do this as an accent wall in Bar room! Could this be done over paneling or would it not hide the grain.

      Marco can you tell me how you did this with the copper leafing? Did you apply over a black paint? Then what did you put on it to make the colors come out?

      I desperately want that copper wall. Anyone know how this was done, what was used, the colors? Anything?
