ORANGERY REDO - PART III

Today a quick post about the process of our orangery redo. For those who haven’t read Part I & II and want to know more about it, please click here (Part I) and here (Part II).

Part II ended with the plaster coat.

The painters started to paint the plaster coat a first time, as you can see here.

 

And the day after it looked as this.

After our painter R. had made us some samples to be able to choose the right finishing patina…

 

…he moved on with the finishing and of course the most important part!!

The application of the final and definitive patina!!!

 

Our lovely painter, B. was giving the lightswitches and plates the suitable paint color.

 

A final check up with the chosen upholstery fabrics.

 

And here you can see the result! Jan and me are really excited about it!

We are really happy with the patina that matches, in an excellent way, the stone of our chimney piece.

 

 

A huge thank to the painters R. and B. for their incredible effort to finish our orangery room according our wishes! 

Thank you guys, you are the best! You can be very proud of your job!

 

The orangery is awaiting to be furnished!
