Venetian plaster looks, limewash, color-wash and other decorative wall finishes applied by hand for depth and character.
Flat paint is clean and simple, but decorative finishes bring depth, movement and character that flat paint cannot. Limewash that glows in raking light, Venetian plaster looks with a soft sheen and color-wash with layers of tone can turn a dining room, entry or fireplace wall into a showpiece. These finishes are applied by hand, in layers, and the technique matters as much as the color. In Nashville homes with a warm, traditional or modern farmhouse style, decorative finishes are an increasingly popular way to add richness without the cost of stone or tile.
We discuss the look you want, create sample boards and test them on a hidden area. Walls are prepared and primed; the finish is built in thin layers with brushes, trowels or special tools, and then sealed if needed. Techniques range from soft limewash and mottled color-wash to troweled plaster looks and subtle metallics. We explain the maintenance each finish needs and how it handles cleaning, so the wall looks good for years. Results are unique, so we encourage you to see samples and approve before we begin.
You see the finish and the color on a board before we apply it to your wall, so there are no surprises.
