Originally, the exterior of the Napa ranch residence was a standard knocked down stucco finish. We covered over the entire exterior of the house with a natural plaster product that has been made in Italy for centuries, known as Rialto or Vero. This product is a combination of slaked lime mixed with 60% reconstituted crushed marble dust. Quarried from the legendary Carrara marble mines. The finish itself is a vertically combed striated texture embedded into the plaster. While it cures, a transparent group of patinas are applied to the stone-like plaster substance to create a look of an aged villa.

Exterior lighting adds style to your home, and it adds safety. Lights hung on the garage do triple duty: they light the driveway for you and your guests, they signal an entrance is nearby, and they help light the front walk a bit. Selecting exterior lighting with opaque glass makes using CFL and LED bulbs more palatable as it warms the cool light cast. And, it's cost effective as many people choose to leave their exterior lights on 24/7 for security reasons. Photo by Shanna Wolf, S Photography.
