A few people are asking why we’ve decided to use plaster and not paint, and other decisions about our materials. If you missed it then we’ve discussed this extensively in earlier videos, and done a lot of experimentation. If you’re interested then you can start with this video and then progress through the videos in our ‘Historic Coach House Restoration’ playlist:

Thanks I'm wondering that too.
You amaze me Amy. The way you just persevere through everything. I wouldn’t worry too much about slight variations in colour. It will just add to the charm.
Well done Amy and team. I love the colour and texture. I think having slight colour changes throughout will only add to the personal touch. The camaraderie between you all is wonderful. Hello too to sweet Juliette and her big brother Clement. Rest that rib and heal quick 😊
It’s an epic task to plaster a wall of that size all by yourself, Amy. The added drama of the mix turning out differently didn’t help either. You can be really proud of your achievement!
Ha! Well…. You know something about it 😉
And so say all of us, Michael. It already looks great. You're amazing, Amy. 😊

I had to laugh when you were struggling with the corner and so used your finger instead of a trowel because that is exactly the sort of thing i would have done. You did an amazing job and i am in awe of the fact that you did it in 1 day
That’s such a lovely colour, you are so brave doing this in front of cameras when it’s a skill you’re new to. Hope Marc’s rib gets better soon, that can be very painful x
I’m so impressed! On so many “levels” I could never see myself doing that!
This was a fun video with everyone in it. I was watching your cup on the beam, and had to laugh when you left it behind. You are always up to the challenge of plastering; when something goes wrong you adjust. Fabulous job. Hope Marc’s rib heals smoothly. Loved Clement’s blue hands and Juliette’s hat😊
Blimey that was a marathon for you, Amy. You'll end up with biceps like Popeye's !
Imperfection=artistry❤
You are doing an amazing job!
Amy, heights and spiders. Oh my! I must tell you the combination frightens me. I’m sitting here watching your vlog. Your finished product looks on its way to looking great. Can’t wait to see the finished product after it dries. Thanks you Amy and Steffen Margot.
I honestly LOVE the colour!! .. everything about the wall; the technique, colour, beams & stone combination is so uplifting and elegant. It looks like you all had fun together too, so well worth the huge effort & aching arms! All the best to Mark for a speedy recovery.
The blue is gorgeous Amy. You are such a hard worker but you have so much fun in your task. Love watching you guys so much. Hope Marc heals soon 😢. ❤Deborah USA
Amy, Really enjoyed the video! Great job with the plaster. This was a big task! You also overcame your fear of heights to do it. We love the color you picked. We hope that Marc heals quick. Stephin did a great job acting as the master stirrer. Keep up the great work!
I cut out most of the footage of me whimpering about the height 😂
Well done! Your confidence for these jobs is certainly increasing. I hope Marc's rib is healing up.
What a big task for a lone little Lady. But you did it with the help of your friend
😂 I’m not so little! But boy did my arms ache for a week after!
So fun to finally see this room with the color. You and your team (loving Pepper’s walk on cameo) are creating something amazing.
Oh, i hope he recovers fast from his rib injury .
Rest is important for Marc😊
So pretty color reminds me of a Corn flower blue 💙
Wow, great work! It looks really good! I love the blue. It goes so well with the wood, stone, and floor tiles! It must feel good to get it all done in one day! Even though it was so much work! It really does look good! :)
French blue-how lovely!😊
Amy, you and Stefan did awesome. You did awesome, especially around the ceiling and stone. It was a long day, but it was worth it.
Good work, Amy! Get well soon, Marc!
You landed on a beautiful Wedgwood blue - it’s warm elegant!! For lumpy additives like your pigment, you could also mix into a small amount of the paste, blending with the back of a large spoon or trowel, before mixing in a little water to loosen it up and adding to the main mix!
Oh wow Amy, that looks amazing! I love that colour, but I'm a blue fan anyway. It's going to be a really great room! I take my hat off to you, plastering is darned hard work! Can't wait to see it finished completely! Hope Marc is resting that rib, he has a penchant for breaking bones doesn't he? Rib fractures are incredibly painful though, that catch when you breathe deeply.... heal well Marc! Big hugs and much love xxx
Nice blue! I hope the arms, anemia and the bones are recovering OK.
Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊 John Ken
I think its lovely! So good to see the children and Marc.
👏👏👏❤️ wonderful Amy...beautiful color!
Love the blue color. Hope Marc’s rib heals quickly ❤️🩹 😍😘
Great job Amy. I like the blue. Juliette's hat is adorable
Luce is the most beautiful, kind and friendly little girl in the whole world!
Luce?
Oh my, hope Marc is feeling better soon but don’t overdo it.
Love the wall color in the second bedroom! Cool toned blue is a fave and you both smashed it!👏🏼
Well done! I love that rich blue when it's wet! I can hardly wait to see it dry!
Amy, try the simplest of tools for those edges and corners when you plaster…an offset spatula that you probably already have in your kitchen.
Do you know I didn’t even have a spatula then 🤦🏼♀️. I do now!
Coloured plaster. Never seen this before. You are so brave.
Did you check out our old videos on this? You might enjoy them. The link is in the pinned comment
As Michel Legrand said, "Bleu bleu, mon amour est bleu ! " 🎶
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I was a bit worried at 1st but congratulations it’s looks the right finish & colour for the room, I was sad to hear Marc hurt himself & hope he’s mending fast! 🏴John in Monmouth
I love the blue color! 🥰
Fantastic effort and absolutely love the music. Well done Amy and friends 👋
Thank you!
Plastering..whow, I am totally in awe..if there us one job I would live to have learned..well done
I have not looked at your channel for a while Lisa mentioned how kind you were to help her so I am back and everything looking fabulous children looking gorgeous 😊
Well done Amy look forward to seeing the outcome when it is dry. Thought the music was great. Had me tapping my feet. 🍷🍷🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love the blue ❤
That's a lovely blue! Now you need some Chinoiserie style art to hang there! 😊
Wait until next week. You’ll have your socks blown off!!!
I love that blue. It's lovely x😊
The new plaster looks amazing....great color! Cheers!
I really love the blue wall, Amy! Very nice job!❤
Amy (spelling?), don't worry about the different shades of blue. Isn't this the children's room? Just tell everyone it is the sky. It isn't always the shade of blue everywhere. Maybe later sometime a volunteer will come along later and paint some clouds up there for you later. 😊
Wait until you see next week's video - I think you'll like it!
WHEN IN DOUBT, SPIT ON IT, AND STROKE AGAIN !
Amazing job Amy. It’s going to look gorgeous ❤
I think the subtle differences in colour will give it more depth. Plus once art work and furniture is in place it will look even more spectacular. Love it.
I love the color! Congratulations!🎉
The blue looks perfect. Well done!
I’m sorry to hear that Marc broke a rib, so painful! I love blue walls!
Now catch up on this part of your channel's 🤗👍
Looking good love the colour 🤗🌹💐🌹
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
BEST WISHES TO YOU
looking good
Love the blue. I was hoping that you would use blue since the beginning of it.
I was going to suggest a tea strainer, but it's a bit late now 😀
Heights AND spider webs! Well done 👍
Beautiful color and job
Love the colour
Stunning ! What a beautiful work, so great you had your friends to give a hand. Long time ago in a farm in Aveyron, an old lady told us that they painted their kitchen walls in blue to avoid flies. Best regards.
Looks great, a lovely colour and i am sure it will dry beautifully. ❤
I like the wabi sabi of it. Feels genuine. Authentic.
This is really hard work. I have never seen this before: the color already mixed with the plaster. The blue is beautiful!
My best wishes to Marc's rib!
Looks lovely
luv that shade of blue with the earth tones,very pretty
Thank you!
It’s as if you’re trying to very smoothly ice a very very big cake. Amazing!
Johanna Maine USA
Ha ha yes we kept saying that while working!
Absolutely love the colour good job Amy ❤
Looking great, if uneven colour when dry, you could always mix up a thin wash and paint over the whole area to even out colour.
Beautiful Love 💙the Color
OMG!!! That's painful a broken rib; there's a story there...😁 you're not wrong as it does look like a whiter swatch but then when viewed panned out, the whole wall looks homogeneous! Well done!
Poor Marc! 🙏🙏
Love the plaster work!!! ❤
What an amazing job you have done. I bet you slept well that night❤
Love the color!
Well done to you. If indeed it does dry with tone differences of intensity, it will look like a beautiful blue sky reflecting many angles of sun . Just like an intential sky mural.😀
Great colour!
Poor Marc - maybe he should get a bone density test. Did he break a bone earlier? Nice work Amy - color blue is beautiful
Yes, time for a bone density evaluation. I had a compression fracture in my back after a hard landing in my sailplane. Turned out l had osteoporosis at a relatively early age! Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊 John Ken
Wow! You have such courage! What a task to tackle!😊
I was wondering about the lumps of pigment. 2 possible options to loosen the lumps. 1. use a sieve. 2. dissolve the pigment in some of the water you used.
I tried dissolving it in water but it wasn’t very effective and just ended up sticking to the container. The sieve problem I addressed in the video. Just to far to go and buy one when you’ve already started the job!
It looks lovely 💙 can’t wait to see it dry 😊
Maybe use a putty knife for the tiny areas near the corners and edges. Good job though.
In the SE USA we simply sand the sheetrock spackling smooth and then prime/paint. None of this plaster stuff. But it is beautiful.
If you remember way back when I was doing the natural pigment tests, the reason we’re going to all of this trouble with plaster is to try and blend the modern dry wall in with the historic stone walls and add some texture to them. It’s definitely easier and more normal to just paint but we’re trying to be historically sensitive in our restoration.
Put the pigment onto a piece of muslin or old tea cloth, wrap it then crush it, job easily done.
Unfortunately that would lose quite a lot of the very expensive pigment on the cloth. But really the rubbing method worked very well!
WELL DONE, AMY!!!!! ❤❤❤💙
Gorgeous colour .fab job..I've taken a week to decorate my bedroom.im very impressed 😊
Wonder if a tea strainer might have worked to sift the lumps out of the pigment?
Amy, you have nothing on your feet! Be careful x
looks fantastic
Good job. I don't know if this would help but why not measure each item like in baking. Measure each item in separate bowls. So that way you know how much exactly your adding. Adding the pigment to the dry plaster, and thoroughly mixing it before adding the water helps to ensure an even color. Sort of like baking a cake. Mix all the dry before adding the liquids.
A lot of it is an issue of speed (somebody plastering needs a very regular and fast turnaround from the mixer), but measuring the pigment first in another bowl would have helped- you’re right. However mixing all the dry ingredients first isn’t practical with that drill mixer as it all flies up into the air and you lose a lot and risk inhaling it. Need to have water in it first.
Adorables los niños ,felicidades !
Quedo muy lindo ,valio la pena el trabajo 💪
Tip the hawk toward you when you load the trowel. The thing about scrawney guys they break easily.Use a cleal trowel as a streight edge along the ceiling and wall. Blue is a difficult color to work with. Nice job though.
Oh wow the clean trowel as a straight edge is a game-changing tip. Thank you!
Something I learned with baking: weighing the flour and sugar gives a much more accurate and consistent measurement, than using measuring cups and measuring spoons… this could be part of the problem you’re having getting a consistent color. Personally, I wouldn’t worry too much about your color being off a sheet or two because you have lots of shadows, casting on the wall. I love watching your videos!,😀
I weighed the lime too but just didn’t show it. But the pigment was in such small quantities that it was difficult to weigh. The scoop method was good but it was human error to forget how many went in just once!
@@Chroniclesofrosieres trial and error… when painting with multiple 1 gallon cans of paint of the same color (I learned that those other gallons will only be the exact same color if the person mixing the colors and the dyes were selected / created exactly the same), I like to “blend” the new can into the open can (usually when it is 1/2 low). This helps to blend the “batches” of paint and when it all goes on the wall, the colors are more likely to “blend” and variations are less noticeable (if at all).
Your family inspires me to “get moving” on my projects at home. For example:
I painted this two bedroom townhouse I rent from someone during the pandemic, and have yet to finish painting the doors and trim. I decided the trim really needed a heat gun to remove old/lead paint. So that has been a work in progress.
I tore all of the carpet out of this townhouse during the pandemic and have a pile of used (very good condition) carpet waiting to be installed for over two years, going on three now.
The stench of the wood floor was profound from animal urine/feces all over the floors in every room. That situation lead to using various chemicals to remove it and decided the best way to handle that problem would be to varnish and seal the floors. With furniture still in the townhouse, it has been like playing a giant game of Jenga for over the past 2-3 years. 😂
Bonus: the rent is considerably cheap in comparison to others for this area. Lol
If you/your husband can tackle that old monestary, I can tackle this little townhouse☺️😀
Thanks for the “push”☺️☺️
@@margaretjacobs4016oh wow what an epic project you’ve taken on! Nothing is ever as simple as you expect!
That looks Great! Well done!
Thank you so much 😀
Perhaps you should mix the dye into the water first to get rid of the blobs, or sieve it or both!
thanks for the vlog, always a joy. Resin is pretty incompatible with lime and stone walls.. isn' t it? Surely its not got the breathable properties of lime.
This is only going on plasterboard. The walls have all been grouted with traditional lime. Unfortunately lime plaster wouldn’t stick to plasterboard (dry wall) so the only option is this special plaster with resin in it. It’s basically fake plaster! I did a few videos last year where I explained our thought process on this. I should probably link to them!
DON'T WORRY ABOUT EVEN BLEND OF COLOR! ITS ABOUT GREEN GRASS AND BLUE SKY, RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps if you’re not satisfied with variations in the color once you’ve finished, you could just paint the wall to make it even out? Just a thought.
Hopefully you'll see why we'd be reluctant to paint over it after this week's video!
@@Chroniclesofrosieres As always, a great choice!
Maybe you should disolve the pigment in a bit of water to ensure all lumps are gone then add it to the plaster.
You think like I did at the beginning. I tried that but it didn’t really work. They didn’t dissolve.
😤 how anoying.
Amy - You have skill and great patience! The finished wall is going to be stunning. What colour are you painting the wood trim and paneling?
Thank you! We haven’t decided on the panelling colour yet. It’s a conundrum!
@@Chroniclesofrosieres Have you thought of using the same panelling and trim colour in all of the rooms even if the walls are different in each room? I find a warm off white (not with a pink, yellow or grey tone) very restful but other people prefer colour on trim. In Canada Cloud White from Benjamin Moore is the decorators go to colour and it is the one I have used in every room. You and Marc have to live with it so it is up to you two. I will be celebrating with you when you move into the Coach House!! 🎉💗
@@judymossip7446that’s a lovely suggestion Judy. We will factor it into our discussions!
Plastering seems a complicated process. The color is beautiful, but wouldn't paint just be easier?
Thanks! It’s worth watching back earlier videos in this series (there’s a playlist for the coach house) where we do the pigment and plaster experimentation and explain why we’re not just painting. Essentially it’s to blend a modern plaster board wall in with historic walls by giving them more texture.
