Finish Samples

The perfect marriage of rustic and elegant. This finish starts with a rough, textured basecoat applied in two layers. Then layers of authentic lime and marble Venetian plaster are applied on top filling in most of the texture to a smooth finish, leaving only a few random areas open to the rough texture. Then a tinted wax is applied to tone the finish, darken the open texture areas, and add depth to the overall look. Stunning and unique. Because of the wax, this is an interior only finish.

This is a real marble veneer on your walls that can be more of a honed finish or highly polished. Even when highly polished, the shine is really only seen on an angle and is much deeper and richer than anything you can ever get with faux plasters or paints. You have to see and feel this finish in person and experience how amazing it is for yourself!

Finishes can be done on raw/ new wood or on existing stained or painted pieces. Many finishes can also be done over MDF, plywood, or laminate. Why not update your quality but tired or dated looking furniture and cabinetry with a special finish? Regular latex paint is just a bandage, but a finish can add true value as well as beauty! We can redo your kitchen cabinets for half or less of replacement costs and give them the look and feel of something much higher end than re-facing or even new, factory finished cabinets. We use only the best quality products on the market for cabinets and furniture. Our favorite brand is Jolie Home. The products look and feel so luxurious and the wax finish is easy to maintain and very durable.

This finish resembles the ancient walls of Pompeii or the old walls of a warehouse in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Layers of Chalk Paint&ref; decorative paint are troweled on and then washed back revealing the layers below. We also do a twist on this finish called Elegant Fresco using a single color and a tinted wax to give a softer look.

Heavy-duty craft paper is hand painted to order in a huge array of pre-determined colors. Custom colors are also available for a nominal fee. The papers can be applied as cut geometric designs such as rectangles, circles, or diamonds which have a very contemporary look. The paper can also be applied in random sized torn pieces with either a brown or black "tear line". This creates subtle veining unique to this wall treatment. This look suits every decor. Walls should be sized with a wallpaper size prior to installation. Very durable, repairable and washable. Because it is a paper, it will minimize minor drywall imperfections.

This is an inside or outside finish. When you see pictures of the buildings in Italian Villas this is probably what you are seeing. The finish starts with a true lime plaster with a very coarse texture and then an optional interest layer of texture can be added making it feel like true walls of antiquity. The color can be mixed in with the plaster for a very subtle mottling or applied on top in a lime wash for more mottling. Great for hiding minor drywall imperfections.

Natural materials make for healthy living spaces. These plasters create a comfortable, soothing, Zen feel to any room. LEED points prove they are "green" and truly environmentally friendly as well. Some of the products actually improve air quality by reducing odors, regulating humidity and removing harmful toxins (like formaldehyde) from the air. Eco de Vita products are SCS Certified Indoor Advantage GOLD.

Means little bits of marble. One of the oldest finishes in Italy and a true lime, matte finish plaster. It has the look and feel of unpolished stone and is in fact another example of limestone/ marble. It is popular in Northern Italy. Hides minor drywall imperfections.

There are several popular brands that fit under the category of this acrylic troweled finish, all of which have a slightly different look. My favorites are Lusterstone* and Velvet Plaster. Others I like are Shimmered Stone, Shimmered Suede, and Jewelstone. These elegant and shimmery "plasters" give a visual texture but are usually applied very smooth to the touch, although textured looks are possible too. A variety of techniques can be used to apply these products in single or multiple colors depending on the look you want to achieve. This is popular with a lot of clients because it looks very expensive, but is one of the most affordable finishes available.

Our newest finish—exclusive to Wallartistry! Inspired by the Scratch Plaster walls favored by designer John Saladino, this finish is a more refined take having a subtle linear appearance and smooth feel yet it looks slightly rough and rustic. It's delicious!

This is my best selling glaze finish. I call it my signature because I do it a little different than anyone else I've seen. This finish is done on a satin/eggshell finish paint and because the glaze that goes on top is translucent, the base color is key to achieving the desired results. The colorwash works best with two shades (lighter and darker) of similar colors.

An Italian plaster with a tinted wax topcoat. The look is a happy medium between the very textured and polished plasters.

This award winning Wallartistry exclusive finish is great for adding a bit of interest to your walls without a heavy look. More elegant than rustic. Great for hiding drywall imperfections, too.

This technique can take on different appearance base on the paint and glazes used to finish the tissue paper.
