More about our most recent project

One of the wonderful things about working with clients who aren’t afraid of color is being able to be very creative with color and textures. Such is the case with our most recent project. Our client loves lots of art and color and gravitates more toward a modern/eclectic look.

And the wonderful thing about using a Venetian Plaster is that if you are a very good artisan, you can create finishes that strikingly add to a modern theme. A lot of people get the idea that Venetian Plaster is used just for a Tuscan look or theme but in fact using Venetian in a vibrant color allows you to create an additional dimensional quality to a more modern space .

Here we started with a modern home that had textured walls, lots of light and dramatic furniture, We had to come up with a color and look that was going to pull everything together that was bold and rich enough, without absorbing all the light. The finish also had to extend through the dining room/living room entrance and up to the second floor, and also harmonize with other finishes that had previously been done in the house.

Using Raw Sienna and Burnt Sienna tints in our plaster we create a rusty orange glaze color that warmed the space,created a beautiful backdrop and made the artwork pop off the wall. Applying multiple thin layers of true Venetian allows us to create a dimensional look and finish that is also very smooth and polished and easy to maintain. Bellissimo.

The whole house has taken on a new feel and as usual our client is thrilled!
