The tongue and groove, pine ceiling in this sun room helps keep the space light and airy. The sheet rocked walls were given a durable lime plaster. Lime plaster is easy to make from scratch by slaking lime and adding sand. For interior lime finishes we will often opt to sift masonry sand to keep the particle fine. On occasion we will add in some silica sand which creates a bit of a more delicate look to lime plaster.

The overhead ceiling fan will help keep the warm air flowing in winter and cool air moving in summer months. We always encourage families to bear in mind all seasons when designing spaces. For maximum comfort a home should contain elements which enhance its performance without needing additional heating and cooling.
