Gilded Gold Leaf Tray Ceiling

This tray ceiling was transformed from a plain white ceiling to a gold leaf ceiling with a subtle patina. Ceilings are the 5th wall often overlooked when designing a room. A ceiling with gold leaf adds soft refracted illumination and a glow that straight paint can never achieve.
