I put the finishing touches on a job today.  The small condo I was working in has a kitchen area that shares a wall with the dining area.  We wanted to paint the kitchen backsplash and wall areas a very dark charcoal color but we needed a logical and good looking way to stop it at the end of the counter.

So I went to a local machine shop and had them make me a stainless stell piece to install as a room divider.  It came out great and really looks sweeeeeeeeeeet.

From two different angles.

My wife, Cathy created a faux finish on the living room wall by using two different metallic glazes over the same dark charcoal color.
