trend alert:: clay plaster walls

hello  friends and fellow design lovers.
with this blog, i plan to bring my spirit and sense of style to the products and services of sustain eco-interiors.   
i will explore products, inspiration and design.  i think visually, admire unexpected beauty, and value quality. i want to show that "green" products can be very on trend, modern and simple.  let's see how it goes.

my current obsession: 

American Clay Earth Plaster

american clay earth plasters are a natural, environmentally friendly way to finish any interior. non-toxic and made in the USA, these plasters are an alternative to cement, acrylic and lime plasters, offering superior color, richness, texture and depth not found with other finishes. see what our different styles have to offer: loma bestows a charming, rustic feel with matte colors and organic surfaces; porcelina's smooth surface and complex colors mimic the highly polished, opulent marble of the old world; marittimo's soft colors and speckled sheen shimmer like the ocean; and enjarre offers a rugged, earthen look in a single-coat plaster. from all points of the globe to all design projects, american clay has you covered.
american clay has no VOCs, is made from 72-percent post-industrial recycled content from stone quarries, is a an extremely durable surface, ships dry for less weight, is made in the U.S. with natural dyes, and has the lowest carbon footprint of any commercial wall product.


before i walked into sustain eco-interiors, i knew nothing of clay plaster.  i was taken away with the texture of the showrooms walls.  i learned that the walls were all hand troweled by owner heith england.  they are truly beautiful. 
clay plaster is my current obbsession, i cannot stop collecting contemporary images of plaster walls.  i would like to share some with you. 

my love affair begins...

my favorite finish is one that looks a lot like concrete in a graphite color.  
(images found in various design magazines+ blogs and pinterest). 
these looks below can be created with american clay plasters.  sustain has artisans that can reproduce these looks in your home or business.  wow! 
transform your space! 
come see us... and remember, tell them jessica sent you.  :)






i found this images in my newest crate and barrel catalog.  plaster is a timeless, traditional material.   + a HOT trend right now.

 

typically i thought of plaster as being very traditional, european with a tuscan feel.  this too can be modern.  take a look. 


great design with plaster walls.  i hope you find inspiration and begin to notice the beautifully natural walls around you.
