limeplasterIf Authentic Plaster FX mentions  Venetian Plaster to a designer,architect or builder in Vancouver,  they all seem to  equate the term to old world wall finishes, I’m trying to change that. In fact I am trying to change the misnomer that venetian plaster is only used for interior wall finishes….simply not true!
