I recently started a 1700ft lime based plaster project in Langley, B.C. Let me start off by saying what a change it is driving into work and not haveing to deal with traffic and the highways, this is a real treat for me. The finish I will be doing is a 2 toned distressed finish, Material supplied by Stucco Italiano. Areas include ceiling trays in the kitchen and the vaulted ceiling in the great room + large wall in great room. I will also be restaining the Fir Trusses in the great room and the complete interior painting . The interior will be painted using Benjamin Moore Aura ,Supplied by the Tsawwassen branch In Delta BC they always go the extra mile for me. Here are some photos of the project, I will add more as the project continues.

This project will involve striping the paint off the stair case to expose the wood and stain to match the new flooring, will also will be wood graining the beams in the ceiling to match the new hard flooring and the 4 tear wood molding separating the ceiling. To complete the project will be using Benjamin Moore Aura Latex paint for a more Eco-friendly finish and wash ability. Completion is November 2008.

……Update………. this is a close up shot of the stair case after stripping and staining have been completed.

These are some shots of the scaffolding needed to do the wood grain on the sky-light beams. As you can see from the photo’s I need to do some heavy repairs, I decided to create plastic drop catchs for the sanding dust and old drywall to prevent it form going all through the house.

Wood graining a lost art…………

By on October 3, 2008 in blog

Many people are unaware of wood graining a lost art which I have used for the past few years to bring life to railings that were once lifeless and stark white. In October of 2008 we will be completing 3 different wood graining project’s I will post photos as the projects are started. These photos are from 2007 notice how the railing wraps around and there is a break to simulate a joint in the wood.
