Is part of the draw of loft living the concrete posts that exist in so many? I guess it is for some.
Our latest client came to us wanting one bedroom wall to be transformed to match an existing concrete pilaster that was in the middle of the wall. Not only is it in the middle of the wall, but it is off-center - therefore, throwing off the symmetry of the bed.
We did not use concrete, but used a mix of plaster and glazes to mimic the look of the concrete.
In the main living space there are three existing concrete pilasters, so they requested that two walls of drywall be finished in the concrete technique to match.
The design of the loft is not yet complete. The bedroom is transitioning and the palette has yet to be selected. The client is in the decision making process and wants to remove a lot of the mono-toned browns and brighten up the space.
The bed is staying, and obviously the concrete finish on the wall. What colors would you choose to brighten up this space? Turquoise? Orange? Please share! I'm curious.

That's so weird...the first colors that popped into my head were Orange & Turquoise! Must be the right colors...
Good job on a cool wall - love it!
I really love the concrete look. I think it looks cool.
This concrete finish turned out perfect!
The distressing was just right and not overdone very convincing

If a concrete bedroom is good enough for a Phillipe Starke designed hotel, it's good enough for a Pearl District loft.

Hey now... that hotel room is on the verge of sexy I'd say!
LOVE! What a great job, Lucinda! I'm actually thinking a deep eggplant and pumpkin (ok, orange) would work nicely. But you can never say no to turquoise, that rascal.
Oh eggplant... good choice. Aubergine.
Excellent views inside of it, I could be rare but I'd like to build a house like that, so it would have a big house in order seeing so good.
is there a tutorial that you have on how to get this finish? or somewhere you can direct me for it? Id like to do it around fireplace surround
Excellent because when get old and stuff you know you just wanted to live peacefully in a comfortable house, and seems like you sell good houses.
This is something really perfect, that's exactly what i like to make at my apartment, I can see that you have an excellent vision about the interiors, I'm gonna apply some of your techniques.
Hey guys, this is a great blog.... Thanks a lot for plotting such types of stuff on your blog.
