Autumn Leaves Autumn leaves says it all. This intriguing textural finish reminds one of a beautiful Ohio day in late October. It utilizes several products, tools and techniques used in creating other textures. The final coloration can vary widely as you begin to experiment with different spatula base colors and metallic wax coats.		Sorrento Lush green cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean inspired this atmospheric finish. Raised patterns on a smooth, Pro Faux white spatula base are the signature marks of this wonderful, broken color effect.

Pietra Pietra, meaning stone, is masked off into blocks and stained with layers of STONEWASH, then sealed with Zero gloss varnish. Grouts remain absolutely flush so that future painting will completely mask this special blocking technique.		Figline Located in the heart of Tuscany, Figline (fill-ee-nee) overlooks the Valley of the Arno river. With many medieval and Renaissance buildings still in use today, the town of 18,000 is a reminder of the way life in Tuscany must have been centuries ago. Broken color is the essence of Figline. You see it on both interior and exterior surfaces. Many of the newer shops and restaurants continue to use wall finishes in this manner.

Lucca Home of the famous composer, Porchinni, this ancient walled in city has its roots dating further back than the Roman Empire. Lucca (luke-ah) looks and feels like ancient stone blocks that may have been used to build one of the earliest coliseums and the roads leading into it. Let your imagination run wild as you create a piece of history with this time worn finish.		Venetiano As elegant and timeless as Venice, Venetiano (ven-ee-see-ah-no) is a wonderfully subtle finish for any wall treatment. Typically these finishes are done in pastel monochromes and burnished to a deep luster. Unlike true Venetian lime based plaster, our neutral base can be tinted to an infinite range of darker hues while still achieving that same luxurious texture and gloss.

Pompeii With its complex society and richly patterned interiors dating over two millennia, Pompeii still holds our fascination. From simple to elaborate hand-stenciled designs, you can imitate the ancient, luxurious feel of Pompeii ruined villa walls.
