Italian Plaster

Here is one more example of how Bella Plaster from Pro Faux product line can turn a kitchen into an old Italian Villa.

The hand trowel texture in this kitchen with the Tuscany colors gives this home a very classic look. Texture is a great way to add beauty to any room.

We incorporated a combination of pigments to come up with this custom look that just made the room very warm and cozy. We later went back and did a similar finish in the powder bath.

Here is one more example of a dramatic deep red on walls in a living room.

This is the same living room that we did with the beautiful Bella Plaster. We used red to really give this living room an elegant look and feel.

Deep red  is a very powerful color and had been a choice for some homes for years. We have painted many formal dining rooms deep red.

We used Bella Plaster from the Pro Faux product line to give this living room a makeover.

We went from off white paint to an elegant finish and custom colors that we applied from ground pigments.

Hand trowel texture with color added and a satin wax top coat for protection. This finish works well as an accent in any home. We can match any color and this finish is very popular where a touch of elegance is desired.

Old World Glazed Finish

Monday, January 18th, 2010

The original surface was old tired wallpaper so we prepared the walls and textured them and applied a base coat followed by a glaze coat and the end result was a beautiful kitchen where the walls matched the granite counter tops. This is a good example of the dramatic change texture and color can add to a tired room.

With a new look we updated this kitchen by giving the walls an old world texture and matching the granite counter tops with similar glazes.
