Veneshe's October Training Class in Tuscany restores and enhances the walls of this dining room in Panzano in Chianti

If the walls of this dining room could talk, they'd tell stories of what was once a humble stable and farmhouse, and its transformation over the years to a stunning B&B visited by tourists from all over the world. It was thus a special privilege for Veneshe to make restoration of these walls the focus of our 2011 Training in Italy. A soft, gold-hued Marmorino Sahara Italian plaster was applied over the pebbled surface, filling in and smoothing out the finish to a velvety softness, and adding a subtle sheen and gleam that changes with the sunlight streaming in through the windows.
