Fireplace Surrounds
A fireplace naturally draws attention. A handcrafted plaster finish can transform it into a true architectural feature, adding texture, warmth, and a custom element that complements the surrounding space.
The Craft
Artisan plaster is not limited to traditional walls. Its versatility allows it to bring warmth, texture, and character to the spaces that define your home.
From statement fireplaces and feature walls to luxurious bathrooms and specialty surfaces, Amantis Artisan Plaster creates custom applications designed around the architecture, function, and feeling of each space.
Every application combines traditional craftsmanship with thoughtful design to create finishes that feel intentional, timeless, and uniquely yours.
Understanding the Craft
The best finishes are not just beautiful—they are created for the way a space is used.
Some applications call for durability and moisture resistance. Others are about creating a visual focal point or adding warmth to an architectural feature. Miles helps homeowners explore the right plaster techniques, materials, and finishes for each unique space.
The Finishes
A fireplace naturally draws attention. A handcrafted plaster finish can transform it into a true architectural feature, adding texture, warmth, and a custom element that complements the surrounding space.
Bathrooms offer one of the most unique opportunities for artisan plaster. Traditional finishes like Tadelakt create smooth, seamless, waterproof surfaces that bring a natural, spa-like quality to showers, walls, and other moisture-prone areas.
Kitchens are where craftsmanship and everyday living meet. Artisan plaster can add character to backsplashes, accent walls, range surrounds, and other areas where homeowners want something beyond standard materials.
A single wall can completely change the atmosphere of a room. Custom plaster finishes create depth, movement, and subtle variation, transforming blank surfaces into intentional design elements.
Ceilings, niches, arches, and other architectural features are often overlooked opportunities for craftsmanship. A custom plaster application can highlight these details and create a more complete, cohesive design throughout your home.
the process
Some applications require more than appearance alone.
For spaces exposed to moisture, frequent use, or unique environmental conditions, Amantis considers the materials, preparation, and finishing techniques needed to create a surface that is both beautiful and appropriate for the space.
From waterproof Tadelakt finishes to durable lime-based surfaces, each recommendation is based on how the space will be experienced every day.

the process
Every artisan finish begins with understanding your space.
Rather than recommending the same finish for every project, Miles works closely with homeowners to explore samples, discuss design goals, and recommend materials that complement your home’s architecture, lighting, and style.
From the first consultation through the final hand-applied finish, every detail is approached with craftsmanship, clear communication, and respect for your home.
Testimonials
The most meaningful part of our work isn't just the finished plaster—it's hearing how it transforms the way people feel about their homes. Here's what clients have shared about their experience working with Amantis Artisan Plaster.
We sought a more sophisticated look than just the ol' "orange peel" spray texture for our new walls. We were referred to Miles Turner and he brought us a dozen texture samples to choose from. He was also able to mix our favorite colors in with his plaster. Application took a couple of weeks and the results were stunning. The walls are beautiful and the texture is very satisfying! Miles is also well-versed in construction and was able to give us excellent building advice. Personable, polite and professional; highly recommended.
Amantis is my go-to for new projects and home repairs. Knowledgeable and experienced, we've hired Miles for projects ranging from repairing our marble kitchen counter, re-doing our laundry room, building a beautiful, customized wood fence and gate, among other projects. Miles gets the job done perfectly and efficiently every time, and on top of that, he is a great guy!
Miles is really good at all drywall finishing! He's a pleasure to work with and he's fairly priced. I recommend to all of my clients whenever they need drywall repair or work of any sort.
If I have a project to get done, Miles is the first one I call. Miles has led three multi-room projects at my home and has earned being my first choice when I need work done. After the initial sales pitch and signing of contracts, Miles was in charge of implementing those plans and getting it done right. He is one of very few that I trust to demolish and rebuild my home. Miles gets five stars from my wife and cats too!
Miles is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and efficient. He has helped with many small and large house projects, including a beautiful pergola patio covering, but especially the decorative artisan plaster wall in my basement guest room. It lights up the space beautifully. I keep Miles on speed dial!
