Re: how hard is venetian plaster?
I have! Its easy IMO--It is physically hard-my arm was about to fall off but you can do it over a few days. I also did a HUGE area--it may be better in one room like a kitchen
ETA: You can get any color BM paint made into venetian plaster at Aboffs

I just saw this-have been away sorry. I do have pics that have been posted on here--hol don I'll see if I can find.
You have to buy blue steel trowels. They have at Aboffs too. I pured my plaster into an oblong tupperware so I could ewasily scoop it out. I got my directions online:

I'm sure you can find others. I also had a bucket with warm water and a washcloth so I could wipe down my trowel every few steps. You guys can definitely do it! Its not hard
