That was much darker than I had intended it to be, but I seemed to have trouble communicating what I wanted with the girl working at Benjamin Moore that day. That first coat was pretty dark, and also had a lot of green in it. This is the product I used - Modern Masters Venetian Plaster in an ultra-deep tint base.Īnd this is the formula for the original dark teal… I started with a coat of Behr Aqua Rapids, and then troweled on the Modern Masters Venetian plaster finish on top of that.

Even though it’s lighter, it looks much more velvety now than it did with just the first coat on it. So that’s why I’m thinking I might do one more coat this weekend just to lighten it up one more time.Īnd each new layer adds such a beautiful depth to the finish. It’s still not quite as light and soft as I had originally planned, though. It still has that velvety look, because that’s the nature of the Venetian plaster finish. So after two more coats, gradually getting lighter and lighter with each coat of the Venetian plaster finish, this is what my walls look like now… I love that spa look that I created with the original mock ups of the bathroom, and I can’t get that look with the darker walls.

Here’s how it looked…īut after going back and looking at posts where I had shared my original plan for the bathroom, I decided to stick with lighter walls. But once I got the first coat of the darker teal on the walls, it was so gorgeous that I wondered if I might want to keep the walls dark.

I had planned on the walls in the bathroom being a lighter teal, similar to what I have on my kitchen cabinets. When I showed you pictures of the walls after I had done the first coat, I was second-guessing the color. I might have my Venetian plaster walls in the bathroom finished, but I’m going to live with them as they are for a day, and look at them throughout the day, and decide if I might want to do one more lighter coat.
