This was a custom kitchen finished in an off white laquer. The clients wanted it to be more dramatic and so I added 23.5 K gold leaf to all the details. Because it is real gold, it is quite durable and will never tarnish. The ceiling is done in two shades of gold metallic paint and the pretty custom medallions around the bases of the pendant chandeliers add a lovely bit of interest. These were done using imitation gold leaf as durability here was not an issue.
