Well, I have changed my mind (or rather was "convinced" to change my mind by my dear husband). <br />
<br />
This time I promise to take better photos and post my step-by-step Victorian ceiling painting process. <br />
<br />
This project is happening in my office - which makes it quite hard. I have to work around my desk and computers, but I will do my best to complete it in just a few weekends. Wish me luck! <br />

It had somewhat dull finish that looked like a copper base with a black glaze. I tackled many projects, but this one I was not sure about. With the water running over the finish and the fountain being concrete, the pain became worn. Burt gave me one day to make a decision if I am going to paint it or not, otherwise he was going to fill it with water. <br />
<br />
I decided I needed to do something about it. I did not want to use a concrete stain and the odds of getting one in a copper finish within one day weren't that great. I ended up going with the same process that I used for our lion statues (those were resin). <br />
<br />
I used Rust-Oleum Metallic in Antique Copper (4 cans of base spray paint). For the top finished I used Rust-Oleum Semi-Gloss black (quart). The best way to create the antique finish is to place the black into the recessed areas to create a shadow-like effect. I do that with a brush and wipe over it with a soft rag (the paint on the rag is just enough to give the entire surface great even look). <br />

Burt is working on welding a wrought iron fence. I cannot wait till it is up! It took us a very long time to come up with a perfect design. We wanted to stay true to what the fence would have looked like if it was built in 1904. I hope we got it right. We decided to put it up until all the sections and gates are completed. After that, we will get it all sandblasted and painted. </span><br />

The siding on the North side was removed and we finished painting on the street side. Installing the siding and replacing the gable are next on our "to do" list. <br />

Here is an updated view. (I am still casting the remaining swags and we are waiting for the 1st floor master copy onlay to arrive). <br />
