We removed the popcorn using a damp technique, covering everything with painter's plastic to control the dust. After we remove it, we sand and dust ceilings well, making sure not to disturb the paper tape between the butt-joints. After sanding and dusting we spray double-knockdown on ceilings. After texture cures we seal the ceilings with an oil-based primer/sealer. Heavy clean-up. Then we repainted all walls, doors and trim.

A water-based satin polyurethane was chosen for the finish. It had minimal yellowing, and in truth, was much easier to work with than an oil-based product. The first coats were sprayed on with an HVLP compressor-driven sprayer with sanding between coats and the last coat was brushed on.

Microcement floor (2500 square feet) installed over a Warmboard heated floor system. The entire floor was covered in the Warmboard system, and then Hardi backer board ¼ inch was embedded in flexible tile adhesive and screwed down over the warmboard. The seams were all taped in with 5StarFinishes Adex fledx tape and megalite tile adhesive. The final installation had 5StarFinishes EIFS mesh applied over the hardi backer board after two layer of diluted quartz primer was applied. The final decorative layers of Microcement Floor Fine were installed over two smooth layers of Microcement Floor Base, and sponged to remove pin holes and trowel marks. We color matched the plaster to the shade Creek Bend. Final sealer was chosen to be 5StarFinishes Hi wear oil based sealer with Aluminum oxide for extreme wear and stain resistance. Completed in 2022. Install not including warmboard and Hardi backer board: $50,000

The Lynx coffee table is made from a live edge slab with steel trapezoid legs, powder coated in matte black. Lynx is named after a constellation in the Northern Hemisphere’s sky. In some mythology, it also means “keepers of the secrets of the forests.” The Lynx coffee table has been commissioned in live edge Walnut and Eucalyptus, but is available in a variety of species. Several coats of hand-applied oil-based finish adds richness to the natural wood surface and an extra layer of protection from moisture. *Please note: every slab of live edge is unique from the last, and is hand picked for each project based on grain character and size. https://www.casadegadesign.com/gallery-posts/lynx-coffee-table

These were not easy to make. Let me start with that. Mahogany wood and plywood are not the problem; the precision required to make it all fit right was. They are stained. And I used an oil-based polyurethane for ultimate durability and a richer look (than water-based). Customer had lighting added. I will add pics of that when I receive them.

The final look of the kitchen cabinets by the stainless steel oven area after two coats of oil-based stain & two coats of polyurethane-based clear coat. New handles and new soft close rails for the drawers were installed as well.
