We finished plastering the inside of the cabin a couple of weeks ago. Check out the recap video here:
And here are some stills with more details:
 |
| With the highest sections of the wall plastered it was time to remove the scaffolding. |
 |
| For most of the house we we’re going for a buttermilk color with our plaster. In the loft bedroom we used an aquamarine blue pigment to get a light blue color |
 |
| Mixing the buttermilk plaster we added 1 part C&C ball clay to 1 part water |
 |
| In our case 1 part was a large plastic glass |
 |
| Then we added 1/8th part yellow iron oxide pigment |
 |
| The final step was add 3 parts masonary sand |
 |
| The wet plaster had an unsavory mustard color but it dried significantly lighter |
 |
| We applied the finish plaster approximately 1/4″ thick |
 |
 |
| At the end of day I would take a wet sponge to all the new plaster to smooth out trowel marks and event out sections where new plaster connected with dry plaster |
 |
| Misting the wall frequently was really important to prevent the plaster from cracking. |
 |
| I made this door for the bathroom but it was a lot of work. We’re planning to but premade interior doors and use this one as Jean’s desk. |
