Stencil Patterned Porches
You’ve seen the amazing work of Gracie Reed, of Grace Designs Dallas here before. Her work is on the cover of our Modello by Design, Vol. II book and also featured in the whole first chapter. Gracie continues to inspire and amaze me with her talent and she recently sent along these juicy, colorful photos of some fabulous porch projects she did recently with some custom-fit Modello masking stencil patterns. And so, to brighten up your day…..He-e-e-e-r’s Gracie!
Porch before: yaaaaawn.
Porch after: YEAH!
I think you’ll agree with me that these are really exceptional uses of some of our Modello Concrete Carpet patterns, adapted to fit the projects perfectly. For these projects, Gracie used a polymer-based concrete overlay product called RSCrete from Faux Effects, International. Like the products featured in the last post, this is an easy to use, integrally colored overlay that gets thinly troweled over an existing concrete slab. It’s kind of like a Venetian Plaster type material-for floors-and works wonderfully in combination with our masking stencils! Wouldn’t you love to walk up to either one of these houses and be surprised to see this?!?!

Thank you-We all understand that this cannot be produced when dealing with plasters without Modellos-I use them in 90% of my jobs-My clients,once introduced to them,LOVE them-and want me to use them because of the final results-They don’t want to have a room without them-It is awesome for me and they feel like they have a piece of artwork when I finish-THE BEST OF 2 WORLDS-Thank U!!!!
