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.

Sylvia T Designs is your New Orleans and Gulf Coast’s stenciling expert. Whether for your business or your home, let us know how we can make your space a stenciled work of art!

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!

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.

Sylvia T Designs is the premier New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Gulf Coast decorative artisan and plaster firm. Our full-time, highly skilled team uses artisan level products that you just can’t find in a big box store or at your local paint shop. Trusted in everything from historic spaces to new construction, let us know how we can make your space a work of art!

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.

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.
