Here’s a shot of a great current residential project in an Uptown, New Orleans historic home. We’re delivering a beautiful plaster finish on the fireplace wall in the master bedroom that is meant to be the centerpiece of the room. It’s a lime plaster application where we are giving it a distressed look by applying layers of lime wash (seen in the pic) to achieve the desired effect. In the end, the color will be lighter in appearance and the wall will have a stunning, flowing feel. It takes expert hands to get the timing and treatment just right to achieve the desired result!

A feature wall or area can transform your residence or business. Grab visitors with your vision, your inspiration, or your brand! Here, we delivered an elegant reception area for a local dentist’s office. We expertly combined paint and plaster to create this flowing and striking reception desk and wall presentation.

Hey All! Here’s another look at the spectacular new construction residential dome project we shared recently. That last shot gave you a glimpse of the space – a striking grand foyer that boasts a 25-foot wide dome that rises some 7 feet! Here, we’re just starting to apply the final coat of this beautiful metallic plaster finish. It’s a striking, contemporary design that will serve as the centerpiece of the room! More soon!

Here’s the finished product of something we shared in-progress a while back. It’s the feature wall in the living room of this new residential construction project in the Lakeview neighborhood of New Orleans! We delivered a beautiful high-gloss Venetian plaster finish. It is lime plaster, which means that it is breathable, has no VOC’s, and is durable. We did a custom plaster mix to match the spec color needed to achieve the right appearance. This gorgeous plaster finish compliments the contemporary design of the graphic brass inlays – a pattern created by our friend and the project’s interior designer, Chad Graci of Graci Interiors.

We can’t wait to get started on this new residential construction project in Kenner! We will be delivering a gorgeous metallic plaster finish to the 25-foot diameter dome and 7-foot rise in this spectacular house’s grand foyer. We will also be applying a dynamic finish to the upcoming iron railings on the dramatic stairwell, too! Stay tuned for more!

Here’s a shot of our latest Marmorino plaster application. It brings a beautiful light and airy feel to this residential pool house in the Lakeview neighborhood of New Orleans. It’s a contemporary look that goes great with the natural light that pours in through the large glass doors looking out to the pool area. As it is a lime plaster, it is a great choice for use in a humid environment like a southeast Louisiana pool house!

If you regularly follow us, you already know how much we love tadelakt plaster! It’s a special process utilizing a distinct Moroccan lime plaster technique. Not only is it beautiful, boasting great depth and organic movement, it’s also very practical! It can be used in both wet and dry spaces making it ideal for something like an all-over bathroom application – in the shower, the sink, the walls, the ceiling – the whole thing! It’s also great for other stuff such as pool houses, backsplashes, outdoor kitchens, and more.
 
In this shot, you can see a wet application in a New Orleans residential bathroom. It’s part of several elements we’re delivering on this historic renovation project. Check out the delicate lavender shades and flowing look! It takes a skilled artisan to deliver both an aesthetically pleasing and also highly functional tadelakt finish! Sylvia T Designs is the region’s one and only tadelakt expert. Learn more about this special plaster and how it might just be what you’re looking for to make your space a work of art!

Following on from our last post (please see our profile!), here's a look at the finished product with this component of the job. We delivered a terrific lime plaster finish in this mid-19th century Uptown New Orleans residence. It boasts a traditional Creole color scheme that was made to look aged and distressed by utilizing layers of limewash. We custom tinted the plaster and the limewash to achieve this striking and deeply "NOLA look." From the previous post, you can see how the colors lighten when things are dry. You can also see more of the foyer's scale as the image is reflected in the cool antique mirror! It takes a great deal of skill, patience, and good old fashioned elbow grease to make a finish like this happen!

Sylvia T Designs is the New Orleans area's premier native decorative arts firm honoring tradition and progress on every job, every single day. Whether you're looking for a look that is traditional, contemporary, or something in-between, we can make your space a work of art!
