skip trowel texture glazed textured plaster glazing treatment
The walls in this beautiful home already had a skip troweled texture, so all I had to do to complete the look was add a bit of painting and glazing. This is the entry side of the previous great room. Glazing over textured plaster really makes a statement. The challenge for this glazing treatment was in complementing the gorgeous wood ceiling.

Here, my task was creating a warm finish to blend in with all the natural materials we used in constructing this beautiful home. A blue on blue stripe makes a bold, confident statement in this client's library. A finish almost like the alabaster shades on the lights completes this master bath.

The beauty of handpainted stripes can show itself in many ways. This example showcases changing stripe size and color. A shimmering plaster application to this ceiling absolutely completed this client's dining room. A tone on tone ragged stripe provides the calming effect this client was looking for in their sitting room.

A study in how to change the look of paneling without a carpenter. The paneling grooves were filled and a new glazed finish was applied. For this magnificent open space, I used a textured plaster and three colored glaze to create a warm and inviting feeling. This is the other end of the now warmed and inviting open space.

The colors for this dining room came from the fabric samples for the forthcoming window treatments. To visually bring the end wall of this long room forward, I glazed the surrounding walls in a warm, Tuscan inspired color and used a rough plaster application and dark glaze on the fireplace wall. Metallic harlequins lend the finishing touch to this newly finished basement bar.

Shimmering diamonds create a beautiful accent wall in this newly refinished bathroom. I applied several troweled layers of Champagne Lusterstone plaster to complete the look of this dining room ceiling. In this antique Hollis, NH home, I painted a classic geometric pattern using very durable floor enamels.

Using a shimmering metallic glaze, I used a ragging technique to apply a luminous finish to this master bath.

In this new construction kitchen in Milford, NH, I created an old world European flair by employing sandstone plaster and a dark overglaze. In this kitchen, I created a rustic European look with a sandstone plaster and tea- stain glaze. The border is the same sandstone plaster troweled through a stencil and left natural.

A shimmering metallic glaze was ragged onto this tall powder room to contrast with the black fixtures. This sunroom presented me with an usual set of circumstances. I had to go over the existing sand texture. I resurfaced the walls with Softex in a skip troweled pattern and applied a two color glaze. A ragged stripe finish completes this master sitting room.
A deep toned suede finish adds just the touch of elegance to this new construction formal living room. This entry combines a three color glazed finish along with an accent wall of tissue texture done in the same glaze colors. My client wanted a "pub like" feel for this finished basement, so I used my tissue texture and a dark toned glaze.
Even small ceilings deserve some attention. I painted the stepped trays of the ceiling in ever darkening tones of the same color, culminating in a tissue texture center square. I combined a soft glazed look on most of the walls in this Newburyport, MA condo with an accent of weathered plaster going up the stairs. With the new wainscotting painted a bright white, I created a depth of color by employing textured plaster and overglazes.
