My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How is mica applied? In paint or?

    The finish on the wall is plaster applied by trowel. The mica is part of the plaster mix. I used three very similar mixtures, working from the darkest to the lightest and the sheen is created by the thin layers of embedded mica.
