New stucco house in
Bentonville, Virginia

Here's how we did it:

Sorry flashing by the manufacturer was replaced.

We even stuccoed the ceiling on the front porch.

Arches are formed with strips of masonite. Arches and columns are set with a string line.

Typical Spanish style house with arches and iron railings.

We didn't use metal corner beads on the fireplace.

Color is Sherwin Williams Pure white. The idea is a tiny hint of color in the white plaster.

The color is mixed with 10 gallons of water and two bags of lime in a garbage can.

Gauging plaster is mixed with lime on the mortar board.

Finishing the fireplace.

Color plaster fireplace is troweled smooth.

Stucco window sills are formed with styrofoam and metal lath nailed on. The styrofoam is temporary.

The back of the house showing Skyline Drive in the background.

We put black paper on the range hood to keep mortar from dripping onto the fan. Here we put on self furring metal lath.

The curves on the hood were formed with masonite and filled in with brown mortar.

Curve on bottom was filled in first.

Dramatic color plaster range hood.
