Tadelakt Alternative Tutorial using Lime Plaster

After applying Tadelakt in my shower, I decided to try a less time intensive process in my kitchenette. Hoping to achieve the same water proofing results, I merged some techniques I've learned to accomplish this Mediterranean style kitchen. Lime Plaster + Limewash with a polyurethane sealant. I hope this gets your wheels turning for you DIY project.

I like the calm and cozy vibe of your videos.

Omg this is gorgeous exactly what I want my home to look like!

Are you sure you were correct, putting poly over lime plaster, lime has to breathe, the poly would seal seal the plaster and stop the plaster breathing ? Just curious, nice video.

Please show us how you made and put that wood beautiful doors. Thank you 🙏🏻

how did you make your kitchen cabinets? I haven't been able to find a video to help me do that

[VictoriaFulton-ci]

Beautiful! Does this apply directly onto the drywall?

[francescoconti]

I just did a Tadelakt job this weekend and used that poly product. I have used in the past, real good product.

The background is too beautiful to focus on your story! Lol! Love the BGM, too! What is the title of the music?

mind blown
This is not a Tadelakt alternative.

Tadelakt is a beautiful natural plaster. Soap and wax are used to make properly applied Tadelakt waterproof, while still allowing it to breath.
One of the wondrous and beautiful aspects of Tadelakt is its breathability, its air cleaning properties and it the fact that it is completely natural and free from any chemicals.
This plastic layer on top is suffocating your home.
Also (non-hydraulic) lime cures very slowly through the presence of CO2 in the air, and happens slowly, getting stronger by the months and years.

An alternative for beautiful plants and flowers in your house: plastic ones, so much easier.
An alternative for this beautiful life, the Metaverse!

I do much appreciate your willingness to experiment, it's cool you think outside of the box. and the video was made beautifully, so good in fact that i still watched the whole video and kind of enjoyed it..

i love this! my question is HOW do you build that type of a kitchen counter / sink / wall combo? that's the piece i don't understand. thanks so much.

I just love all this and the overall design of your kitchen too. Is the kitchen cabinet structure from timber and then plaster or something else? Also what is the timber on the cabinet fronts? I'm trying to find something like this but ca't seem to find anything suitable.

Love, love your videos! So informative and tranquil in the same time. Would love to see more of your house! 🥰

[ARER]

Wonderful. So this would work in the shower as well?

[carolewarner]

Hi. Thanks for sharing about your project! Doesn't polyurethane nullify or even destroy the breathability of the plaster? Is the product it food grade?

[netaye]

Hi, thank you for sharing. I live in thailand, is this good for tropical weather ？after raining and dry season if will have cracks ?

[MasaMuneDenadoro]

What's the difference between this plaster and just doing a pigmented concrete throughout?

[PlateletRichGel]

Maybe the plaster didn't color up because you didn't burnish it while wet, same with the homogeneous finish burnish it.

How is the plaster working now? Can you please give me an update because I’m wanting to do this in a spa room with lots of moisture.

[jla]

That looks awesome! Of what is your counter top made? Can you apply plaster (Tadelakt) over a ditra decoupling membrane in a shower?

[kylielee]

Thank you for these amazing and informative videos. I love your style, I’m soooo glad I found you! I noticed in your other bathroom video that you prepared the walls, mayI ask if there is any special prep that needs to be done to walls and bench top/ sink please and can this method you used in the kitchen be used in a shower 🙏 New sub from Australia 🇦🇺
