Marbling Decorative Paint Effects Used in the Extreme
Marbling an Entire Floor
The proud owner's of this new contemporary open plan home wanted something original, something that they hadn't seen when searching for flooring product.
They wanted to make a statement and have something different than the neighbours, so they got their creative juices thinking.
They employed the services of an artist who was recommended by their color consultant Rhondda Carnevale.
The artist added to the equation and helped bring their dreams to reality.
The "marble" floor was hand painted using a marbling paint effects technique.
A lot of love and creative energy went into this floor and the finished product says it all.
Most definitely different from the neighbours!
With a young family the floor is ideal, it is easy to clean and difficult to damage.
It has numerous coats of polyurethane to protect the painting and literally glows in the sunshine as if it was highly polished marble.
