Color venetian style plaster
Alexandria, VA
Walls seem to glow. Embedded color adds dimension to the plaster walls.
Color is paint colorant mixed into the finish plaster.
Mynor trowels on finish coat on this bathroom. Keene's cement, lime and fine sand finish is extremely hard, scratch and chip resistant, and even scrubbable.
Burnishing on kitchen ceiling has a cool wrinkle-like effect. Mottling and burnishing are contolled by the individual plasterer.
Please check out my slide show here.
A view of the mottled colors in the purple master bedroom. Each wall is completely unique. This is what the faux people try to copy. Faux means "fake" in French. You can't fool me. I can spot the real deal a mile away.
