@SylviaTDesigns
One of our specialties and something we love to do is stencils! Whether it’s a classic Damask style or something we completely custom design to reflect your brand or inspiration, we’ve got your stenciling needs covered! Taking things a step further, when you combine a stencil with our expert plaster work, the result can be something anything from subtle to striking. Stencils work great on a wide range of decorative plasters (and you know we’re the go-to for that sort of thing!) These two decorative arts elements were made for each other!
Here, we did a classic stencil in the entry way of this luxury condo just outside of the French Quarter in New Orleans. As you can imagine, it takes great skill and experience to ensure the even layout and application of the stencil, especially when going from wall-to-wall. We delivered a splashy and dynamic two-color metallic plaster finish on the walls and ceiling with a very sky-like feel. The stencil was then applied to the walls. The combined look is both splashy and elegant. Note the careful work on the disguised elements in the space, such as the electrical panel.

Awesome work
Beautiful
We love gilding and we’re the region’s premier applicator! This was an interesting challenge. The main ceiling bay had moisture damage. The ceiling bays had been silver leafed approximately 15 years ago. We were tasked with re-leafing the central bay and matching it with the undamaged, surrounding bays. Leaf changes some over time and the product used back then was different and a different color from what is available today. To achieve this, we created a custom glaze that, when applied and dried, resulted in an excellent match! We also constructed our own zip wall to keep the leaf contained in the area in which we were working keeping the rest of the space nice and clean!
Sylvia T Designs is the leading decorative arts firm for gilding in the Gulf South area. Whether you’re interested in gold, silver, or metallic leaf, we’ve got you covered! It’s an ideal application for creating a striking feature, such as an entire ceiling, or simply as an accent around a room or on furniture. Let us know how we can make your space a gilded work of art!
Sometimes just a nice accent or two is enough to be a kitchen showstopper! Even if you are on a budget, a bit of plaster in the right place can make all the difference! Here, in this Baton Rouge residential renovation, we delivered a beautiful Marmorino lime plaster finish to the stove hood. It’s a standout element in the room bringing lovely depth, dimension, and movement. The homeowners and designer were seeking a look to complement the stone backsplash and cabinetry. We custom mixed the color and brought our skilled artistry to the application to achieve the desired look!

Love this!❤️
Here's the last round of the work we did in this special historic French Quarter Creole Cottage – the parlors! See our previous posts for more of what we did throughout the residence as part of its total renovation. The owners and designer were inspired by painter Agnes Martin’s work. On the walls, pulling from Martin’s style, we emphasized lines, grids, and subtle fields of color.
We created a soft pink custom color for the lime-based Marmorino plaster that we applied to the walls and ceilings in both parlors, creating a cohesive look between the two rooms. We then added the horizontal grid lines and applied darker shades of lime washes. We finished up by painting golden lines on the border of the horizontal stripes. Lastly, we glazed the original ceiling medallions giving them floral and vegetative hints complementing the stunning spaces!
To achieve a look like this takes great skill, special products, and an attention to detail and process that is second-to-none. Sylvia T Designs is the region’s premier decorative arts firm. We’re known for our expertise, dedication to our trade, and how we honor tradition and progress on every job we do. Let us know how we can make your space a work of art!

Here are a few shots from the primary and guest bedrooms we did as part of French Quarter Creole Cottage project (see our previous posts for more.) We were honored to work in this special historic space where we delivered finishes and more in every interior space! In the bedrooms, the owner and designer wanted a cool, soothing look to the plaster but also to have it be a bit joyful at the same time. As we did in much of the rest of the residence, we did a custom color mix that shows a soft, earthy, and mellow pink tone that takes advantage of the nice natural light that shines in during the day. We applied a lime-based Marmorino plaster to the walls and ceilings in both rooms, making a cohesive connection between the two living spaces.

Here’s more from our recent total French Quarter Creole Cottage renovation (see our previous posts for more) and this was one of the most fun and cool things we did in this historic residence – the powder room! There were a handful of original antique tiles left on the floor and the owners, the designer, and us all loved them! We worked with the designer to hatch a plan for a unique way to integrate them into the space. We wanted a “beautiful decay” vibe. So, we took the remaining tiles (including deliberately breaking some of them to achieve the look!) and laid them out in partial areas on the walls. Since there were so few in number, we also handpainted additional ones matching the original pattern!
To add more beauty to the room, we also painted flowers, plants, and insects. Of course, we gave the walls some special treatment, too! We glazed them to further enhance the aged antique look. We custom color-mixed a lovely soft blue Marmorino plaster that we applied to the ceiling to top everything off.

It is always a joy and honor to pay a visit to our friends at BuildStrong Academy!

We know first-hand about that – one of our newest Sylvia T Designs team/family members, Anna, joined us from this terrific institution (more on that soon!)
This was our second visit (with more to come) where we had the chance to bring our entire team of all-female applicators/artisans and talk about what we do at Sylvia T Designs to their current group of students. Thanks to Demetrius, Randy, Lupita and the rest of the BuildStrong team for hosting us and making us feel welcome! We are thrilled to continue to develop this important relationship with them!

Here`s another look at our fantastic major renovation project in the French Quarter (see our recent posts for more). This is the lovely kitchen and dining area in this historic Creole Cottage where we delivered a beautiful plaster finish on the walls and ceiling. We used a lime-based Marmorino plaster and applied it using extensive hand troweling to achieve the desired motion. Showing lovely shades of flinty blue and grey, the custom color we mixed along with the overall look of the plaster terrifically complements the custom-made cabinetry. It also really shines in the abundant natural light the room gets each day.

More from our amazing French Quarter Creole Cottage project (please see our previous two posts for more)! Here’s a shot of the stunning custom mural we delivered in the historic home’s foyer. The owners wanted a flamingo theme depicting them in their natural habitat. It completely surrounds the room and makes the foyer seem a bit larger. It was a joy to paint the birds, the water, and the vegetation in such vivid detail! It certainly makes for a striking entrance into the residence!
We also applied Marmorino lime plaster to the walls and ceiling using a custom color we mixed. The plaster makes for a terrific base for the mural. The paint becomes integrated into it and that allowed us to achieve more of an Old-World look and feel with the imagery. Lastly, you can make out a bit of the ceiling medallion that we painted to match the mural’s vibrant color scheme.
Interested in a mural? If you can dream it up, we can paint it! Let us know your inspiration and how we can make your space a hand-painted work of art!

More from our amazing French Quarter Creole Cottage project (please see our previous two posts for more)! Here’s a shot of the stunning custom mural we delivered in the historic home’s foyer. The owners wanted a flamingo theme depicting them in their natural habitat. It completely surrounds the room and makes the foyer seem a bit larger. It was a joy to paint the birds, the water, and the vegetation in such vivid detail! It certainly makes for a striking entrance into the residence!
We also applied Marmorino lime plaster to the walls and ceiling using a custom color we mixed. The plaster makes for a terrific base for the mural. The paint becomes integrated into it and that allowed us to achieve more of an Old-World look and feel with the imagery. Lastly, you can make out a bit of the ceiling medallion that we painted to match the mural’s vibrant color scheme.
Interested in a mural? If you can dream it up, we can paint it! Let us know your inspiration and how we can make your space a hand-painted work of art!

Here is more from our extensive work in this French Quarter Creole Cottage (please see our previous post and stay tuned for more to come). It was a total renovation of this historic residence where we delivered top-notch work in every interior space! Here is the stunning primary bathroom. It features a whole lot of tadelakt plaster, and it proved to be a highly rewarding challenge!
We did a dry application on the walls and vanity, including on a significant number of curved areas. What’s more? A custom tub/shower was built with a surround. This was a wet application of tadelakt and is a fabulous showstopper in the space. The entire space boasts a seamless, uniform application across both the wet and dry applications of the plaster as well as on all the varying surfaces. The plaster color is also a custom mix we provided. We capped it off with a custom stencil on the archway that complements the pattern found on the antique floor tile.
We are the only true tadelakt artisan in the New Orleans and broader Gulf Coast North region. If you are looking to adorn your room with this special traditional Moroccan plaster technique, look no further than Sylvia T Designs! Let us know how we can make your space a tadelakt work of art!

We are off and running here in 2023 with lots of great stuff happening – it’s been hard to find time to share! Here is a look at the extensive French Quarter Creole Cottage project that we worked on going back to 2022. We delivered work in every interior space in the historic home. So, be on the lookout for a lot more from this project and many others!
Pictured here is the TV Room. The homeowners had an antique tapestry set to adorn one of the walls that they wanted to highlight. They also selected vibrantly colored furniture. We applied a custom color-mixed Marmorino lime-based plaster to the walls and ceiling. We then added a soft strié lime wash giving a lovely warmth that perfectly complements the cool tones of the plaster and the rooms overall décor. Additionally, we glazed the original plaster ceiling medallion allowing it to pop a bit more but still keeping it as a nice harmonic element in the room.
Sylvia T Designs is the region’s premier artisan plaster firm. Trusted to deliver our clients’ vision in everything from new construction to historic spaces. Let us know how we can make your space a work of art!

Here is a glimpse (with more to come) from a cool project we’re on in a residence, an historic shotgun home, in the Marigny of New Orleans. One of the elements we’re delivering is plaster in the bathroom on the walls and ceiling. The homeowners and architect wanted a subtle look, so we went with a gorgeous Marmorino plaster. It perfectly complements the bright tile and tub, allowing them to pop in this contemporary feeling space.
