Dear Darrell,

We want to thank you for your talents on our kitchen reno. We were undecided about the choice of finishing for the backsplash and columns. Tile didn’t appeal, nor did the other standard options. When you came by with your samples for the Venetian Plastering, we knew instantly that this is what we wanted. It became the focal point in our already beautiful kitchen. The uniqueness of the treatment of the walls has literally everyone admiring them when they see it. We love the look, feel and touch of the columns and backsplash. It brings another dimension to the reno.

Thank you very much. We would not hesitate to mention your name, and we have many times, to anyone who would like something a bit “different”. It truly is a classy look.

Gratefully yours,
Robin & Jerry-Lee Allen

One of my favourite things to do on the job is when I get to take something old and outdated and reinvent it all new and awesome.


In October, I got to do exactly that to a 50-year-old sandstone fireplace.


Not only did I lower the height of the fireplace by a whole eight inches, but I also created baffles for the Heatilator’s vents.


The plaster I thought best for this job was Tadelakt, but I got tricky and added Mother-of-Pearl to make the finish a one-of-a-kind fireplace.


I hope you enjoy checking out the pictures.
