    The ''exposed stone ''is ghastly. Traditionally only cow sheds were left un plastered and even most of those were white washed.
    White lime plaster or wash is the only thing for a traditional Irish cottage,

      Do you know why so many Irish houses have ceilings covered in pine?, was this done back in the day?, or was it just a new fashion idea?. I see many houses for sale with pine ceilings, and I find that more ghastly than stone personally!

      @@strawberryicecream796 Depends on the time. many of the Irish cottages were modernised in the 20th century and even in the 1950's . In the past the pine would be mostly be painted or dark stained . Dark staining was common not just in Ireland, to attempt to make pine look like more expensive wood like oak. Mostly, pine was thought to be cheap and ugly with lots of notches so it would be covered.
      The Victorians used pitch pine for church furniture which was a better quality pine . The Georgian's always painted pine .
      Modern pine reminds me of 1970's bathrooms.
      At one time there was a fashion in England to buy an old house and strip all the paint off the doors and show off the pine as though it was Brazilian mahogany or old English oak. It is totally wrong historically as doors would have always been painted.
      The Georgian Society and the Victorian Society websites used to have information on this sort of thing.
      The old thatched cottages would be lime (usually white) plastered or washed . The lime is organic , porous and let the moisture through thus reducing damp. 'Exposed stone' would never be seen. Google Jeremy Iron's castle . He lime plastered it and many mocked it ,but ne is right. Lime was often yellow, Most English churches were plastered inside and out unless the stone was dressed ie cut into blocks ,what they call ashlar.
      If you can get hold of it the BBC series of Griff Rhys Jones renovating a Welsh farm house is interesting.
      Hope this helps.

      Hi John, thanks very much for your reply, that is helpful. I’ll take a look at he programme you suggested. My Mum grew up in a white lime washed cottage. Yes I don’t like the faux wood panelled new build rooms. Nice to keep original details where possible. Thanks again 😊
