Love this unusual, ornate and rather appropriate column capital in the former Institition of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Glasgow. Designed by John B. Wilson and constructed in 1907, the building's now occupied by Scottish Opera. The ship under full sail is a particularly nice detail.

The long gallery at Syon House, Isleworth, London, England. April 2024. The last of five rooms redesigned by Robert Adam at this London residence of the Duke of Northumberland. After some centuries of candle smoke and lamp smoke, the original bright blue/pink colour scheme has dulled somewhat and the vast effort of cleaning it is daunting. Sample attempts with specially colour-matched Farrow & Ball paint in recent decades negatively interacted with the underlying colour, so was abandoned.

The ceiling of the Red Drawing Room, at Syon House, Isleworth, London, England. April 2024. This is by Robert Adam, supposedly the most detailed of his career. It has 239 individually painted ceiling roundels, unending decorative plasterwork much of which is covered with gold leaf.

A gorgeous bit of plasterwork wall decoration from Pollok House in Glasgow featuring a range of tropical sea shells, including Queen Conch, Helmet Conch, Horse Conch and Cowries.

This most likely reflects the Victorian mania for collecting all sorts of things, including sea shells. However, it may also reflect links between the family which owned Pollok House and slave plantations on St Kitts in the West Indies where many of these shells can be found.

Some of the amazing guilded plasterwork on one of the ceilings of the 1880s City Chambers in central Glasgow.

Guilded plasterwork on the ceiling of Glasgow City Chambers.

First (scratch) coat is down. I wasn't sure how hard to push to get the plaster to form "keys", but it is staying up so I guess that's OK? #plasterwork #homeimprovement

A patch of plaster-on-lath wall that has been taken back to the lath, with one layer of plaster on top.

Close-up of the first layer of plaster filling an area of plaster-and-lath wall.

I did contact the company and ask how much material I should order. The answer was the "contractor pack", 15 tubes of adhesive and two bottles of conditioner. The task has taken 1 bottle of conditioner and 2 tubes of adhesive, so I do feel like I got taken for a bit of a ride there (this stuff isn't cheap!). #plasterwork #homeimprovement

A box containing unused tubes of adhesive.

I've been trying to accomplish things by doing it the "right" way, rather than just getting it done. That's usually a bit of research but also spending what it costs to get the tools and materials required. For this project I bought "Plaster Magic" (and various trowels), which promises to adhere the existing plaster and then supplies plaster to patch the hole (scratch and brown coat). Unlike many of these projects, this one is working out as planned so far! #plasterwork #homeimprovement

I've cleared the damaged plaster away and the lath is in pretty good shape. The leak that lead to the damage has been fixed, of course! #homeimprovement #plasterwork

442 square inches of plaster removed from the lath behind it, in a patch near the ceiling

Beautiful ceiling
