STAYING IN CHARACTER
The architect and design team removed dated features including embellished steelwork without diminishing the home ’ s character . The original plaster was kept . As Christina says , “ Plaster is a premium material and requires skilled labor and lots of time . While you can wipe it down fairly easily , it is difficult to repair when it comes to nicks and scratches . Also , be thoughtful on where you want to place your art because it is hard to cover up holes . That said , plaster has a luster that is hard to find any other way — it radiates and bounces light wherever it is installed . There is nothing better to highlight fantastic archways than plaster , so it works very well in this home , especially where we wanted to let the light in .”
