Did they fit the coving before the final skim, then thought "That'll do...."

...or is it some dodgy hotel - that is just how it is after a few years wear and tear and a quick paint job......

LOL
 
I have no problem with the finish , its the straight lines everywhere, looks ridiculous.
If you want that look in a restaurant you have to round everything and use a completely different style of furnishings
I dont know they words for the styles but its got about 5 going on there , some moron with too much money and reading to much shite in style magazines.
Lets hope its only a front for other income or they are bankrupt within a year
We can presume the menu is as mixed up as the interior finish!

A lot of jobs in the states have textured finished ceilings.Walls are finished smooth then ceilings are done,it's really just put on and a rub of the trowel flattish on it.A powder to slow it down is used to give time to get a good area done.Personally it looks s...e, but that's the way they do it.

I worked with a plasterer called John Mc Namara from Galway a few years ago in Boston.He was doing a textured finish in a disco bar,and before it went off he had what looked like a tiny tyrolean gun full of gold glitter which was flicked onto the wet plaster.I went back one night when the place was up and running and have to admit it looked cool with the lights on.

Back in the 1960's they used to hang sheetrock on ceilings and give it 2 coats of taping mud 3 coats for a nice job, then they'd spray acoustic ceiling spray over the mess of a taping job, then if you really wanted the full acid trip you had them hit the fresh acoustic spray with the "Glitter Gun". I've got one of those in my antique plastering tools storage. I've got all my Grampa's old tools & my Dads stashed away. I swear back in the 60's the designers & architects around here were on some serious drugs.

Years ago my Dad's company used to line pools, lots of them in the late 60's & 70's. One year they did over 300 pool liners. I used to run the pump when I was a kid, I'd have to set it up and then mix & pump 30-45 100 pound sacks of white cement and pool mix (crushed marble) and a shovel of asbestos to keep the mud from separating in the hoses, then clean up and tear down the equipment and then jump in the pool and help with the last couple of finale trowel downs with those rounded edge pool trowels, a big fat water brush, and a couple of large sponges taped to your shoes.

Fireplaces are one of my favorite things to work on. They are all in one localized spot and can be time consuming as long as you realize that when you're pricing them out.
