If it’s too wet, it will dribble down the walls. The mortar will need to be dry-like a thick concrete paste when you make it.

If you choose a deep color you will need the VP200 Venetian Plaster Ultra Deep Tint Base, and ask the store to adjust the full tint by eliminating the white in the tint. If you choose a light to medium color you will use the VP100 Venetian Plaster Tint Base and adjust the formula by using only half the tint called for. Open the can and use a stir stick to pull any undispersed tint back into the plaster.Create a vortex in the base to add tint into.
Have the store shake the plaster for two minutes prior to tinting.The plaster is definitely different than paint, and there are special instructions to follow for tinting. You can theoretically tint the color any shade you would like, BUT I would highly, highly recommend you find a paint store that sells the Venetian Plaster and have it tinted there.
There is a base for light-colored tints, and then a base for darker colors.

How to Tint Venetian PlasterĪnother major perk to the Modern Masters Venetian Plaster is that it is tintable. It has no detectable odor (that I could smell), so this makes a pretty safe pregnancy project as well. The Modern Masters Venetian Plaster is also low-VOC, meaning it is safe to use in your home around children and pets. Venetian plaster is a thick putty made with ground limestone and water. I did learn some tips and tricks along the way, so I’m here to share it all with you! 🙂 What is Venetian Plaster? So, would it look better if you hired a professional? I hope so! But I truly am thrilled with how it turned out. This was literally my first time EVER working with plaster. When I had the opportunity to work with Modern Masters and choose a product from their line to showcase, I immediately knew I wanted to plaster the fireplace.įull disclosure: I am not an expert with plaster. I’ve done painted brick before and I really wanted to do something different and more interesting. However, we couldn’t quite figure out what we wanted to do. We had talked about doing a fireplace makeover for a long time. It seemed like a very ugly waste of space, TBH. It’s literally 12 feet long across, without any bookshelves or anything to break up the brick. Not only was the brick an icky, sickly color, but the fireplace is MASSIVE. We’ve worked really hard to create a certain Cali-casual vibe in our home, and while the rest of the living room definitely falls in line with that, our outdated, fireplace did not. Third, our fireplace is literally the first thing you see when you open the front door. I have an upcoming post showing how we did it! I’m not saying everyone needs to remove their hearth, but I had an opportunity to do so and took it. It’s like a magnet for Lily-she wants to climb on it, play with it, try to slide down it, and inevitably bang her little head into it. Secondly, the DIY fireplace makeover let me check a major babyproofing item off my list-remove the hearth. Particularly, I got to try my hand at Modern Masters Venetian Plaster (more on that in a second!). First, this project allowed me to partner with one of my favorite brands, Modern Masters. This one was especially exciting to me for three reasons. 🍃 This window sill has been brought to life with a highly polished plaster effect in clean white creating a strong frame for the New Farm view outside.This post is sponsored by Modern Masters.
