A lil paint & some of this and your all done. Let me know when it's ready, I'll bring the OPUS's !
I like your wife, bring her and the Opus, but leave the weird shit at home. Or better yet, you stay home with the weird shit and send her with the Opus!
Nah, she hates cigars...so boys club only.View attachment 696407
This one looks like she will fit right in, ask your wife if she can join the boys for an Opus or 2 ?or ...................???
I had this friend once and it came out he and his wife were swingers, the pineapple theory is correct.This thread reeks of upside down pineapples suddenly!
One day we were out smoking cigars at a lounge when he pointed out this fat, nasty looking chick and said, hey that's the typical looking chick they meet in their swingers groups.
Come to think of it, his wife was a porker and looked like a Russian female shot-putter.
So much for getting your thread back on track.I had this friend once and it came out he and his wife were swingers, the pineapple theory is correct.

Hey, I did keep it referenced to cigar smoking at least! lolSo much for getting your thread back on track.
Update:
Finished my ceiling painting, hard to get perfect shots because the color dramatically shifts depending on the light. Let's just say it's very "moody" with lots of cracks in the plaster, exactly what I was going for.
There will be a full length soffit running 28' lengthwise on each side hiding soft lighting reflecting up on the ceiling and down on the wall when completed. The center part between the painted side panels on top will be aged wood running the length of the room too. Cross beams will then wrap from one side to the next resting on "special" carved wood corbels I have coming, each corbel will be a different game animal, but I've included one to show you how they look before being stained and varnished.
The process was basically skip troweling and four different shades of paint in many layers, I'll apply a coat of satin varnish next to the ceiling next.
As you can see, the ceiling actually glows where the light hits it, very soothing.
First coat layered
Second color layered
Third color layered and beginning of the black wash
Completed black wash, as you can see, the paint reflects a different tone based on the light hitting it.
Close up and a good shot of one of the cracks, I wanted very ancient "Renaissance" feeling.
Each beam will end on top of its own wild game corbel.

Love it!
I have 'textured' ceilings but not popcorn, the style where they have loosened plaster and a circular brush/sponge. It was done in every room of my house. I found a sea sponge that works for small areas - but large textured ceiling repairs, TBD (I have one upcoming).
All that said, I saw yours and I really like it!! It's textured but not patterned. Getting a flat ceiling after a repair is a paint, doing one on a textured ceiling has pro/cons if its easier —- yours is just simple to blend and adds a nice aesthetic to the room!!!
Hog makes me think Hannibal movie. If you haven't seen it and/or read the book - I recommend it if you go this route.

That's just the one I ordered to preview before spending $1,300 on them all at once, they're not cheap. There will be a total of 10 corbels, each being a different animal head. Here are the rest, but I need 10 total so one of these will be deleted.
