Project Overview: Venetian Plaster on Fireplace in Toronto
For this unique fireplace resurface in a Toronto home, we took a conventional two-sided tiled fireplace and resurfaced it into a sculptural centerpiece using Venetian plaster.
Step 1: Design Consultation & Sampling
Our fireplace resurfacing process began with an on-site consultation where we discussed the client's goals, aesthetic vision, and how the fireplace interacts with the surrounding living area. Three hand-crafted sample boards were created:
- A rustic, antique look with aged depth
- A bold, heavy metallic finish
- A nuanced blend of dual metallic tones with artistic texture
The third sample—a mix of warm metallic tones and layered texture—won the client's heart for its perfect balance of sheen and character.
Step 2: Structural Adjustments
Before applying the finish, we closed two inset niches on the fireplace's structure to create a clean, monolithic surface. This architectural decision contributed to a more cohesive and modern canvas for the plasterwork.
Step 3: Venetian Plaster Application
We resurfaced the tiled fireplace by layering two custom metallic Venetian plaster colors—warm bronze and graphite. Using a hand-troweled technique, we created subtle movement and a play of shadow and light across the surface. The result: a one-of-a-kind, dual-toned fireplace centerpiece that elevates the entire room.

The Final Result: A Fireplace with Movement and Mood
This two-sided Venetian plaster fireplace doesn't just warm the room—it commands it. As sunlight changes throughout the day, the surface shifts from warm highlights to moody shadows. It brings sophistication, texture, and life to the heart of the home.
If you're considering fireplace resurfacing, think beyond paint or stone. Venetian plaster offers a refined, sculptural alternative.

Why Choose Venetian Plaster?
Venetian plaster is a specialized stucco surface coating for walls that is meticulously burnished after application. This burnishing process gives the Venetian plaster its signature smooth, iridescent finish.
Applying Venetian plaster is a skilled artisan task that requires several days of careful work and patience. The result, however, is a stunning finish that resembles marble, offering the illusion of depth and texture.

Step 1: Preparing the Walls
- Covering the Room: We remove furniture and protect the floor with a drop cloth.
- Wall Repair: We fill, caulk, and sand any cracks or holes for a smooth surface.
- Cleaning: We clean and degrease the walls to remove dirt and grease.
- Priming: We prime unfinished drywall with flat paint before applying Venetian plaster.
Step 2: Applying the First Coat of Venetian Plaster
Starting from a corner, applying a thin coat of plaster with a flexible steel trowel at a 15- to 30-degree angle and use varied strokes.
Step 3: Applying the Second Coat
- Angle and Technique: Applying another thin layer of Venetian plaster, holding the trowel or knife at a 60- to 90-degree angle. Use overlapping (X-shaped) strokes for thorough coverage.
- Drying: Allowing the plaster to dry for at least 24 hours before burnishing.
Step 4: Burnish the Finish
- Sanding: We use a very fine sandpaper to burnish the surface in a circular motion for a smooth finish.
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth.
- Polishing: For a polished look, rub the surface with the flat side of a clean trowel or putty knife.
Step 5: Optional Top Coat Application
- Top Coat: Applying a Venetian plaster topcoat or paste wax for added sheen and protection.
- Final Burnishing: Burnish the topcoat in the same way as the plaster for a finished, polished appearance.
