~ Italy's authentic original faux look. It is very popular and
its appearance is texture and rock. Surprisingly smooth to the touch,
this Venetian plaster has the look and feel of stone and has a hint
of Spain. This is cellulose based stucco that is excellent for interiors;
is mold and mildew resistant, and helps in sound-proofing.

| Travertino
~ 100% lime-based plaster meeting restoration requirements. This
plaster is excellent for columns, fireplaces, and walls of indirect
lighting. As the indirect light of the day changes, the cut of the
plaster reflects differently to bring out different shades, and can
have the appearance of unpolished Travertine Stone.
