Wanna get plastered?


When just paint just isn't enough, plaster adds texture and dimension to your walls.  Whether it's a trowled plaster wainscoating, perhaps with fossil leaf stamps, or a hand sculpted frieze of hummingbirds on a soffit, there's a plaster technique appropriate to every style of decor.

Sculpted Plaster Stove Hood

Hand sculpted plaster arch details above, and with added sheetrock dimension, below.





Stenciled plaster wall texture, with gilded hand sculpted border, above, and finally, if you just can't commit to permanent dimension, the  trompe l'oeil (fancy for "fool the eye") sample below only looks dimensional.  Takes just as long to get the shading right as to sculpt it for real, but easier to change, should you ever want to!
