After reading a post by Brooke Giannetti on Velvet & Linen (a must read) about the idea of plastering shower walls as opposed to tile or other options, I decided to post the not yet finished, but almost there results of our master shower.
Due to budget restraints, and a lot of research we used a mix of Portland cement, marble dust, and Lyme. The walls were given 3 hands to get the desired smoothness, and it came out beautiful.
Are any of you thinking about plastering your shower? If so, what are you planning on using?
I love this! I am so envious and look at that tub in the background I can tell I love that too!
ReplyDeleteGreat post keep up the great work!

I'm contemplating a plaster shower in my master bathroom. With our budget constraints, I'm keen on trying a DIY project. Yours is one of the few examples I can find online from any DIYer. I'm curious how well it's held up. Does it seem pretty moisture resistant? Does it clean up easily? Did you use a sealer on top of your plaster mix?
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on doing my bathroom wall plaster i do not have an artisan or specialist doing it,just a general handy man. any and all information that you can give me regarding materials ratios tools and techniques would be greatly appreciated
