Bringing Surfaces to Life
Venetian plaster and microcement create surfaces with movement, depth, and natural variation that standard paint simply cannot achieve. Applied by hand in layered finishes, these materials bring texture, warmth, and character into modern interiors.
From subtle matte surfaces to polished feature walls, every finish is designed to feel unique to the space around it.

Venetian Plaster
Venetian plaster is a lime-based decorative finish known for its smooth texture, soft movement, and stone-like appearance. Built up in thin layers and polished by hand, it creates a finish that shifts naturally with light throughout the day.
Its timeless look works beautifully in feature walls, fireplaces, entryways, powder rooms, and refined interior spaces where detail matters.

Why These Finishes Are Different
These finishes are designed to add depth and atmosphere to a space, not just colour. Unlike flat painted surfaces, Venetian plaster and microcement create subtle variation through texture, movement, and natural light reflection.
• Seamless or near-seamless finishes
• Custom colours and textures
• Durable surfaces for modern interiors
• A handcrafted look that cannot be replicated with paint
Because each application is completed by hand, no two finishes are ever exactly alike.

Microcement
Microcement is a seamless surface system that can be applied to walls, floors, showers, countertops, fireplaces, and built-in features. It creates a clean, continuous look without grout lines, making it a popular choice for modern homes and commercial spaces.
With a wide range of colours and textures available, it also allows many spaces to be transformed without the heavy demolition often required by traditional materials. You can aslo apply microcement directly over tile.

Training, Materials, and Experience
Decorative finishes require a different level of detail than traditional stucco work. Mike Johnson has completed specialized training in Venetian plaster and decorative finishes, including a course with Polished Stucco in Vancouver, and most recently hands-on training in Italy where many of these techniques originate.
MJ Stucco & Plaster works with premium Novacolor products known for their quality, texture, and versatility. Combined with proper application techniques, these materials allow for finishes that feel refined, natural, and highly customized to the space.
A More Specialized Direction
This side of the work is focused on decorative interior finishes and detailed applications designed to bring texture, depth, and character into a space.
Whether the goal is soft and minimal or bold and dramatic, these finishes offer a more refined alternative to standard painted surfaces.
