Melanie Royals creates finishes with Oikos

Preparing for her upcoming trip to Italy, Melanie Royals visited the Chicago Institute of Fine Finishes recently and created some beautiful finishes with Oikos products.

Oikos is a "green" line of products, including several natural lime plasters and is one of largest decorative coatings manufacturers in Italy. Melanie wanted to play and experiment with the products which are readily available in Florence -- and of course, at the Chicago Institute of Fine Finishes!

Here are a few photos of the finishes created by Melanie in the studio, as well as a few she discovered among our sample boards!
