A finish, in conversation

Wallpaper. Pattern, texture, story.

Wallpaper is the most expressive finish on a wall. Grasscloth, silk, hand-blocked, photographic mural. A single elevation can hold a story you couldn't paint in a thousand coats.

What it is

Custom and designer wallpapers, hand-cut and seam-aligned over prepared walls. We work with the trade collections (Phillip Jeffries, Schumacher, Cole & Son, Hermes, custom murals) and install with archival-grade adhesive that protects the substrate so the paper can come down clean if you ever change your mind.

How it looks

Pattern with intention. Grasscloth has woven texture you can read across the room. Silk shimmers at certain angles. Hand-blocked papers carry the artisan's hand. Photographic murals turn one wall into a window. The room reads as authored, not painted.

How it feels

Tactile. Grasscloth is woven warmth. Silk is fabric. Vinyl is a clean modern surface. Hand-blocked feels like printmaking. Texture you can read with your hand, never just your eye.

Where it's best installed

Powder rooms, dining rooms, hallways, statement walls, ceilings, and the back walls of built-in shelving. Anywhere a single feature wall can carry the room.

Why it's worth the upgrade

One feature wall does more for a room than a whole-house repaint. Hides drywall imperfection. Sound-dampens. Long-lasting when professionally installed. Clean seams disappear the moment we step off site.

Limewash. Living on your walls.

Limewash is one of the oldest wall finishes in the world. Crushed limestone, slaked with water, tinted with mineral pigment. Nothing else. No plastics. No petrochemicals. No synthetic binders.

How it looks

Soft, cloudy, mottled depth. The color shifts through the day with the light, never flat, never plastic. The difference between a wall that's painted and a wall that's finished.

How it feels

Velvet-matte. Chalky-soft. A surface you can read with your hand, not just your eye. Quiet, warm, calm.

Where it's best installed

Bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, fireplace surrounds, feature walls, and any space where you want a calm, breathable surface. Works beautifully on plaster, drywall, brick, and stone.

Why it's healthier than paint

Limewash is mineral-based, which means zero VOCs, naturally antimicrobial, and breathable. Conventional paint seals the wall with synthetic petrochemical film and off-gases for months. Limewash lets the wall breathe and is safe for nurseries, bedrooms, and anywhere you live with the air.

Microcement. One continuous skin.

Microcement is a polymer-modified cement coating, hand-troweled in thin layers, no thicker than a few credit cards. The result is a seamless mineral surface that flows from wall to floor to bench, with no grout, no joints, no transitions.

What it is

A modern reinvention of polished cement. Cement, water, mineral pigment, and a polymer binder, applied in 2 to 3 millimeter layers directly over almost any substrate: tile, drywall, concrete, even existing floors. No demo needed.

How it looks

Soft cloud variation, hand-troweled depth, and a quiet monolithic calm. Reads as one continuous skin. Custom-tinted to any color: warm sand, cool stone, deep clay. Matte, satin, or polished finish.

How it feels

Cool, smooth, lightly tactile. Solid like stone, soft like skin. The trowel marks are intentional, the variation is intentional, and nothing about it is flat or factory.

Where it's best installed

Showers and wet rooms (no grout to scrub, no seams to fail). Bathroom floors and walls. Powder rooms, kitchen counters and backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, feature walls, and continuous floors that flow from one room to the next.

Why it's worth the upgrade

Fully waterproof when sealed. Crack-resistant, thanks to the polymer modification. Stain and scratch resistant. Installs over existing surfaces, so you skip the demo and go straight to finish. Lower-VOC than paint, and built to last decades.
