What Westchester Walls Are Wearing

What’s old is new again. No more fusty wallpaper prints, but sophisticated, handmade works of art; wood reclaimed from the bottoms of riverbeds turns into mesmerizing mosaics; paints that don’t just color a wall, but highlight it with texture and saturated hues; and three-dimensional ceramics become a focal point rather than backdrop. Homeowners, choose your weapon.

amazing glaze

Behr’s new Premium Plus with Style Faux Glaze lets homeowners create all kinds of fancy finishes and textures all on their own. $26 per gallon at The Home Depot.

 

deep-sea diving

Decorative Painter Hope McAdam creates rich textures and hues reminiscent of the deep blue sea with a combination of two custom colors applied in three layers, plus a top coat. “I apply the paints with a trowel, then burnish it to a sheen,” she says. “The finish is a limestone plaster called stucco lustro, one of my high-end finishes.” All work is priced by the project and/or square foot. Reach McAdam at (914) 631-5765.
