Mark Nordgren's passion for dramatic interior design is apparent from the very first moment you meet him. As Mark says:
"Every Home Deserves a Room, that Quietly Whispers....WOW!"
There are so many unique interior design opportunities in every home or business, that are just sitting, waiting to be awakened.
Mark's love and disappointment with the americanized venetian plaster, led him to research the history of venetian plaster. The American faux version of venetian plaster is more of a paint product.
After discovering the origins of Italian Venetian Plaster and the refinement of this unique finish, during the renaissance period of time, Mark said "This is It".
"Wow...True Italian Venetian Plaster"
Since 2005, after attending the School of Italian Plaster, Mark is one of the few in the Midwest to be certified and specialize in the application of Italian Venetian Plaster, and all of the dramatic Italian Finishes.
It truly is a love thing for the Italian Finishes. He says there is a reason why Artenova Plasters by Safra, are the very best Venetian Plasters in the world. It's the ingredients.
Mark works with some of the best Interior Designers, Home Builders, and Architects in the Midwest. Projects have included some of the most unique homes and businesses in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Minnesota.
"The Fifth Wall" - He says ceilings are sleeping opportunities. The application, at times, can be brutal to apply, but the final effect when done is always "The Wow Effect".
Mark says if you are just beginning a new Interior Design Project; make a commitment to learn more about the Italian Finishes.
When designers lay all of their Interior Design layers and fabrics next to our sample boards, we always get the same comment....Wow!
