WOW it is looking so amazing!!! I'm sorry I never comment here but apparently had been too stupid to actually log IN until now. Ahem.
Anyway--as always I love every choice you make. It's so interesting to me how different your color palette is with this house as opposed to your old house which was all warm reds and golds. This house is so cool and sophisticated but still totally YOU. It's really coming together beautifully, which is no surprise.
I personally vote for leaving the plaster detail the way it is. I tend to agree with a previous commenter about it being a little Trump to gold leaf it, and I love the slightly modern edge that the monochromatic treatment gives it. It reminds me of an ornate baroque picture frame that's been painted white--the detail becomes much more about structure and shadow.
Oh and BTW I also got a negative comment on my blog from some random Anonymous jagoff today. Feh. I just deleted it since it wasn't worth the bother of logging in and refuting the comment.
