How time can Fly
T'is a week before Christmas and I was hoping to have completed our most recent project the 'Wine Cellar', it appears the pursuit of perfection will win, we will be close for Christmas - but not quite. Making new rooms look old takes time!
The Goal: To bring a sense of 'yesterday' to this 9' x 9' room, it was really needed... pretty bland. The idea!? If you are going to have a Wine Cellar, a French theme is always a good choice and mixing in a little Lime Plaster(marmorino and intonachino) will bring it all together.
Along the beams against the walls we have installed the strip lighting to with a soft glow to the cellar.
The LED strip lights yield no heat, thus a prefect fit for a room were temperature is key.

Cellar Dweller... but for a Good Cause
It's usually not a lot fun to spend the work day in a small dark cool room in a basement. Unless it is for Wine!
Yes a Wine Cellar!! Do you love Wine? I do and nothing better than creating a room to provide a little ambiance to where a collection of 'nectar of the Gods' will be residing.
For this project of course it involves Lime Plaster, specifically Marmorino and Intonachino will be my go to plaster for the ceilings and walls.
Also installing ceiling beams, the neat part about the ceiling beams is that we decided to incorporate some state of the art LED Lighting... it will be installed shortly. This type of band or rope light, is like nothing I have ever seen... I will take a picture and post it, crazy technology!
It's a perfect fit for what we need to do...
Beginning the layout

Ready for Stockings
Since it is the beginning of December it's only fitting to have a rush on Mantels ready for the Holidays.
Here is a recently completed Marmorino Lime Plaster Mantel - a traditional look. A simple idea to enhance the Mantel's style, we added a 3" header for more depth with clean lines... perfect for adding stockings.
We completely covered the old brick, creating a smooth surface with the Marmorino Plaster, the natural properties of the plaster allow for a soft 'to the touch' feel once polished with bees wax. Yet remaining strong as stone.
You design it. Spec it. And we create it.
