You could also faux paint the gold leaf ceiling using Rustoleum's Metallic paints in 2 shades... https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-Metallic-253611-Decorative-32-Ounce/dp/B003EELN14/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514669004&sr=8-1&keywords=Rustoleum%2BMetallic%2Bpaint&th=1if you like that real bright gold... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BQHEDOA/ref=psdc_13399641_t3_B003EELN14and if you like the look of the squares, you can use a box brush to achieve that... http://www.diynetwork.com/videos/gold-leaf-faux-finish-99614Then no need to varnish.Helpful Reply -
