A Level 5 finish is the highest degree of quality in drywall finishing. It requires all the operations of a Level 4 finish with the addition of a skim coat of joint compound applied to cover the entire wall or ceiling area to provide a uniformly smooth surface.

Understood. The paint looks really good. So was this a level 5 finish?

What size is the Foyer table? and what size is the area rug? The rug design is so pretty and looks like the Schumacher Imperial Trellis Pattern. Thank you!

Yes, confirming that each layer of drywall for the step detail is half inch. We prefer half inch because it has a nice proportion and recommend this over 5/8”. Wishing you a great project!

dSPACE Studio Ltd, What is the width of the molding used for these boxes? I have had to choose between a beveled 1.75 inch or a smaller simpler 1.5 inch that is more of a cornered round. Not sure if that is the correct term but I am having trouble deciding if the "heavier" look would look better even though I like a "clean" look.

The picture mold in this room in 1.5 inches wide. We don't think the 1.75 version will feel too 'heavy' as we've seen picture molding profiles that are 4 inches wide or even wider. However, we do strongly recommend considering the different profiles and seeing which one will give you the look and shadow lines you want. If you can, we recommend getting a mock-up made from small pieces of each profile option so that you can see them in the space to decide. Thanks for the question and good luck with your project!

Hello and thank you for the compliment! We typically use 5/8" gypsum board to achieve the stepped look. As for what type of bead corner, really any metal or vinyl Z clip will work fine. It just depends on your preference. Great questions!

Best of luck!

Hello Again,

Consider obtaining a few paint samples with different shades of white and see how it looks in the space. Remember, different lighting conditions can change the appearance of paint color. Perhaps also consider consulting or searching for a local interior designer who may be able to assist with your project. Houzz is a great resource for finding local pros!

Hello, and thank you for your question! The color temperature for this project is 29k. We typically specify anywhere from a warmer 27k and up to the cooler 29k. However it is highly recommended to obtain samples, especially with LED lighting, because there are so many potential variables within the space (natural day lighting, paint color, floor color, etc.) This way you can fine tune and discover exactly what color temperature you are looking for. We hope this helps, and good luck with your project!

Hello and thank you for your question. It is difficult to put a price point on such a ceiling as it will vary with the size/ area of your salon ceiling and your contractor or installer. However this is called a stepped drywall ceiling. Make sure your contractor is able to achieve this with crisp, clean edges. Hope this helps and good luck with your spa salon!

How do you guys get EVERYTHING right? - Seriously, congratulations. The whole Astor project...only several blocks and a few design light years away from my old place immediately across Walton from The Drake....is simply astonishing. Astonishing. Amazing work. Not because I love every piece, every choice, but because the totality of the design is remarkable. Stunningly elegant. Somehow approachable. Exacting. Still functional. Every angle beautiful. Just a bases-loaded-home-run of a design. Many congratulations and best wishes. Tom

Hi - Great question. We applied two additional layers of 1/2" drywall in the stepped pattern that you see in photo to create the coffered areas. The drywall steps are then finished with a drywall edge bead in the shape of letter "z". This makes for sharp edges that look amazing.

Thank you for the compliment. The ceiling height in this room is 8'-7" which is lower than the ceilings in rest of the home, so we used the stepped drywall details on the ceiling to give the illusion of added height.
