Gold Room

Earlier today, I tweeted that one of my nearest and dearest friend/amazing designer/stylist/decorator extraordinaire Maury, over at Villa-Bisono, and I had both came up with exciting DIY projects for our apartments. While I cant give you any details about hers, (you'll have to follow her blog and stay tuned) I'll give you a little background on mine.

 GOLDBAR NYC, is a very exclusive hot spot here in New York.  The decor was inspired by Roman Catacombs in paris.

KIHL STUDIOS was contracted to produce 2,500 gold-leafed human skull replicas to adorn the walls of the Gold Bar V.I.P. nightclub in New York City, designed by Robert McKinley. Skull production and finishing was done on location at the KIHL STUDIOS facility in Arizona. A real human skull was molded in silicone and plaster to create 12 replica molds.

The molds were then used to produce 2,500 replica castings in Hydrostone, 

Gold-leafed and clear-sealed. 

The completed skulls were crated and shipped to New York for installation. Skull production and finishing was completed in November, 2006.

GOLDBAR is the inspiration behind my DIY project, ad I cant wait to get started and so I can reveal the final look with you guys! Stay tuned.
