Decorative of April 08

Decorative Finish for April

This month's finish is called--

**Inganno Fresco**


Inganno Fresco is a smooth or slightly textured finish made to mimic the fresco's of pompeii. It is an authentic Italian finish and can be incorporated in any design project. My client liked the unique look of my sample board and chose the exact colors. This finish is also great for art panels and decorative niches. If your customer wants an Old World finish but is not wanting a skip trowel painted faux finish then this is the perfect choice.
As for the distressing of the finish it can be as much as you like! I chose a more minimial effect in this project but you can have cracks, break away plaster, and a unique wipe away surface.
Wipe away plaster finishes can be very elaborate with as many layered colors as your design calls for. Each layer is wiped through showing the underlying colors.
In case you were wondering the finish below the chair rail is a polished lime plaster called Calcenova. You can find out more in my previous blog posts.
