A Brick Fireplace---without the brick
We don't have before pictures, but behind the grey plaster is a very dated brick fireplace. The home owner and interior designer needed a very clean lined look for the fireplace. Mission---to hide the brick and create a new surface.
Our team of artists filled in the grout area of brick with several layers of material. Once we determined that the surface was smooth, we began troweling activated plaster over the fireplace. Finally, we tinted the activated plaster a deep shade of grey--and troweled a final coat.
Activated plaster is a professional specialty product that allows better manipulation. It allows the user to "pop" the plaster off in areas for a multilayered surface. Ask to see our "Monroe" board for a closeup of this beautiful look.
