New Old World Wall Finish

My biggest request from most home owners in homes from 300k-800k in value is usually the old world finish. You know the typical texture/glaze finishes that bring a Tuscan feel of relaxation and the depth of aged plaster. Why not use technology and new design ideas to create a different look to your old world finish- I call this the New Old World.
There are new products that out perform joint compound, paint and glazes(JCPG) in many ways. 1. They are much more durable that JCPG. The new plasters use thick acrylic polymers that give it an almost concrete strength. 2. They can be tinted throughout. This means no more white scrapes when you accidentally run a table or chair against the wall or my favorite jr runs his toy car across the wall. 3. The look is more authentic. Rather than the typical shiny finish JCPG gives you why not try a matte aged wall the kind you would typically find in a true Tuscan village.

So now you have your Tuscan villa why not go to another region of Italy? Lets visit Pompeii. With it's richness and history this area of Italy carries with it it's own richness and character. The artists of that region had their own style and what we have come to love about that region. Their historical buildings have a different look altogether than what you find in Tuscania. Faux Real has recreated the rich finishes and can be placed in homes and businesses. The layers of color aged in strategic places make this New Old World finish a beautiful option in your old world decor.
