Glazes

A glaze is a translucent color that is applied over a base color. A decorative effect is achieved by manipulating the glaze. From a subtle brushed effect to dramatic stripes, a glaze gives depth to walls and brings life to a room.

Faux Finishes

Faux marble and faux bois are painted reproductions of real marble and real wood, respectively. Crackle can be applied to many surfaces to create a unique or antiqued look.

Decorative Plasters

Venetian Plaster is created by applying and sanding three or more coats of marble dust plaster. The finish can be waxed and buffed to give it a high beautiful sheen. Plasters can also be textured or antiqued.
