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!

Here's a bit from our current residential renovation in this Uptown New Orleans mid-19th century home. This is in the foyer. It's lime plaster in a traditional Creole color scheme. Here, the second coat of limewash glaze is being applied to distress the plaster and give it the desired aged look. Seems dark? Don't worry! When it's dry and everything said and done, it will be around 70% lighter (stay tuned)! We custom tinted the limewash with pure powder pigments. Timing and product expertise is critical in an application such as this!

At Sylvia T Designs, the New Orleans area’s premier native decorative arts firm, we honor tradition and progress on each of our projects. It is a privilege to work in these spaces – whether it’s somewhere historic or somewhere new, commercial or residential, a large job or small. For 25 years, we have sought to bring this mindfulness to everything we do. Here, team member Jess takes a moment to reflect on this terrific tadelakt plaster finish from a residential bathroom in the Bywater. It’s one element we are delivering for this special historical renovation and restoration project.
 
We’re big fans of tadelakt and we are the region’s only expert in this traditional Moroccan plaster technique, ideal for both wet and dry applications. It’s a lime plaster that takes skill, timing, expertise, and a particular thoughtfulness that is right in keeping with what we do at Sylvia T Designs!

Here’s a terrific recent example showing both the functionality and beauty of our tadelakt plaster work! We applied the plaster all over the bathroom of a residential pool house in the Lakeview area of New Orleans. It’s both the wet application (shower walls and floor) and the dry application (bathroom walls and the entire ceiling.) Each application requires a different approach, utilizing a different number of coats. It also takes skilled and disciplined timing to ensure the wet application is water and mold resistant as well as making sure both applications match, looking seamless across the entire space. The natural, organic, and silky look of the plaster compliments the reclaimed wood features of the bathroom.

Remember the tadelakt plaster application we mentioned in our last post? Well, here is a wider shot of the featured archway skylight in the master bathroom. We’re doing a wet application of this special plaster in the shower and a dry application, pictured here as we add the final coat (two stories up!), on the ceilings and in the archway. Tadelakt is ideal for many uses – showers, all around in the bathroom, pool houses, back splashes, outdoor kitchens, and much more. It’s not only a functional plaster (water and mold resistant) but, in the right artisan’s hands, it can be beautiful, demonstrating deeply organic looks and beautiful motion.

More from our exciting Baton Rouge residential renovation project! Here, we’re applying tadelakt plaster in this show-piece master bathroom. Tadelakt is a traditional Moroccan plaster that is both functional and decorative, ideal for both wet and dry application. It is water and mold resistant (wait until you see the shower!) It’s terrific for all-over use, such as here in the featured archway skylight. Our use of this special lime plaster on the ceiling, in the archway, and in the shower ties the whole bathroom together. More soon…

Tadelakt is the lime plaster you should know! It is ideal for both wet and dry applications – showers, bathrooms, backsplashes, outdoor kitchens, and much more. But, this traditional Moroccan plaster takes a great deal of skill to deliver – ensuring that it is both functional (water repellant) and beautiful. Timing in the multi-coat process is critical. It takes the hands of a true artisan to execute this special plaster finish. Here, you can see our finished basecoat for a wet application in a shower – a heavy aggregate plaster that must be properly compressed and smoothed at the right time, not too wet or too dry. This gives us the proper texture needed to setup the multiple coats of tadelakt that then create a beautiful, organic looking plaster finish. One that will transform your space into a (functional) work of art!

Here’s more from our incredible residential renovation and restoration project in the Bywater of New Orleans. This is one of the bedrooms. Our clients and the interior designer (shout-out to @sararuffincostello) wanted to continue with the overall look of the entire space, making you feel as if you’ve walked back in time when you enter. The look is aged and it’s as if to show years of plaster and color. We’ve achieved this by delivering a lime plaster application with multiple layers of lime wash. You can see the striking depth of the finish. Also, note the faded and aged border we created at the top of the wall adjacent to the ceiling.

We’re loving our current historic residential renovation and restoration project in the Bywater of NOLA! Here, in one of the bathrooms, we’re doing a gorgeous and durable tadelakt plaster finish on the walls, ceiling, and in the shower. That’s right! This traditional Moroccan plaster is not only beautiful (check out the light lavender shading – the picture doesn’t do it justice – believe us!), it’s also water repellant and mold resistant. It works great in both wet and dry applications – showers, pool houses, backsplashes, outdoor kitchens, you name it! It delivers an organic, silky look with remarkable depth. Sylvia T Designs is the premier native New Orleans decorative arts firm and the region’s only expert in tadelakt! We would be happy to chat with you about how this unique and trending plaster can make your space a work of art!

Here’s a recent look at our current historic residential renovation and restoration project in the Bywater. It’s a great space that when completed will be spectacular. When you walk into the space it will seem like a walk back in time! In this part of the project, we’re delivering a Marmorino plaster application in one of the bedrooms. We are distressing the walls to create an aged look. In this shot, we are executing that part of the work by applying layers of lime wash glazes. Expertise is needed to properly handle these specialized products and manage the delicate timing needed for success! Sylvia T Designs is the premier native New Orleans decorative arts firm.

One more shot from our striking French Quarter Creole Cottage project! Here you can see the lustrous gold leaf ceiling in the billiard room. You can also see our “dragged” plaster finish on the walls, blending the plaster and gold pigment. Both the natural light in the room and the finish of the walls shimmer off the gold leaf ceiling. We did a complementary, lighter finish in the adjacent parlor (see our previous post) and also gold leafed the ceiling there. The end result is a dramatic and impressive space.

It’s an honor to be entrusted with doing work in historic spaces. We take this very seriously. As a native New Orleans decorative arts firm, this is rooted in our DNA – our sense of place and the responsibility placed in our hands by our clients is sacred to us. It informs what we do in our approach with each and every job. Whether it’s a residential project or commercial, new construction or historic, we seek to honor tradition and progress in all that we do.
Here, in this French Quarter residence, we’ve created a distressed lime plaster finish that is both beautiful and functional – the plaster will breath and last in our humid environment – and displays artistically exposed brick. In this space, we, also stained the beams, the ceiling, selected the colors of the cabinets, and delivered the finishes in the bathroom. More soon…

Here’s another special area from our recent luxury condo remodel just outside the French Quarter on Basin St. Our clients wanted something special and unique created in this total bathroom remodel. The showstopper is our hand-painted Chinoiserie mural. We also selected the tile in the shower/tub, the fixtures, the countertop, and lighting pendants as well as the floor and custom-built vanity (not pictured). Hey – we all spend a good amount of time in the bathroom – might as well be a cool space, too!

More from our New Orleans luxury condo remodel on Basin St.! Here’s a shot of the completely reenvisioned kitchen. We had the barstools custom made and upholstered with a custom fabric. We selected the new quartz countertop, the kitchen sink and fixtures, and the striking lighting pendants. The lights are hung from a reclaimed antique door that we restored and suspended from the high (16-foot) ceilings to give the kitchen area more intimacy. For similar reasons, we built and added an upper level of cabinets increasing their height. The cabinets were refinished and repainted in a trendy blue tone that compliments the plaster wall finish in the living room and on the bar façade. We also took the antique map and removed it’s original mounting. We gave it an antique and “floating” look by using antique brass upholstery pins. More soon!

Our work on this luxury condo remodel just outside the French Quarter on Basin St. is now complete! And, we’ve produced a special space! Here, you can see the living room with numerous components and appointments we delivered. There is the dynamic layered plaster finish that shows terrific movement and glistens in the light. We handled all the furniture considerations including the reupholstered couch with a selected custom fabric, a specially built coffee table designed to fit the clients’ two ottomans underneath, and the reconfigured and reupholstered banquette with custom fabric. We selected the lighting throughout the condo. Here, you can see one of two Bevolo lanterns on the wall, for example. We selected the frames and installed the unit’s artwork, as well! More from the rest of the space coming soon!

Yesterday, we had the great pleasure of spending our morning at a Vieux Carré Commission Foundation seminar on preservation featuring several New Orleans master craftsmen. One of them was master plasterer Jeff Poree. He has graciously spent time sharing his knowledge and experience with me as well as working on projects together. He is a fifth generation plasterer with knowledge and skill that has been passed down over those generations. He, like his antecedents, has worked on countless historical structures in the city. To this day, he carries on the tradition of working to restore and preserve our architectural heritage.

Here’s more form the luxury condo project we’re putting the finishing touches on just outside the French Quarter in New Orleans! This is the bedroom where we created a 2-color metallic plaster finish in the style of broken ombre. The finish really pops in the sunlight and makes the space warm and comfortable. Also, it compliments the beaded pendant lights – one of the few features held over in the unit from before the extensive remodel we delivered. More soon!
