Faux- stone hood


My clients wanted a unique treatment to thier custom built wood hood....however, they did not want a "painted" look. Instead they wanted it to resemble their fireplace, a concrete/limestone cast structure that had a soft stone color.

I applied a sandy textured venetian plaster to all the flat surfaces of the hood, then by pushing the same plaster through an stencil design, I was able to give an illusion of carved stone.
