Assaggio restaurant - Boston, MA (mid 1990s)

Designed by Arteriors

"Enjoy Italian cuisine in a Renaissance ambiance. Assaggio, designed by Arteriors, re-creates experience of Rome in Boston. Artist-designer Stephanie and Amiel Mesner created an unconventional interior. They used no floor plan. Instead, they improvised as the project progressed. The idea originated from the artworks by Botticelli. The ceiling is filled with grapevines and ivy; Zeus and faux columns are attached to a wall that's decorated in trompe l'oeil marble blocks; the room is topped off full of woodland scenes, with a midnight-blue overhead rendering of the zodiac. Assaggio is a bistro with an underground wine bar. The ceiling is painted to simulate sunlight shining through; the stonewalls and ivy-clad columns are all faux art. The Napoli room is a recreation of a seaside villa."

Simplicity: Faux-finished walls and a saffron tablecloth. Distressing the walls tutorial- it’s a pretty easy technique, and if you mess up, you can just paint over it, b/c it’s done w/water.

We like it much better! It’s hard to tell but the color washes down from dark gray to light blue at the bottom and the embossing is only in the top layers of color. I rubbed it with first dark then silver wax and buffed it out. The wooden hoops are more salvage from the history center.

New textures, colors and mixed techniques on an old wall. I just love experimenting. This is an illuminated portion of a wall I completed this morning. I caught the sun peeking through a window.

Beautiful, broody, and comfortable- the faux finished wall is fabulous.
