- There have been a lot of elements of this build that we were excited and a bit anxious about, our clay interiors being one of the main ones. This is totally unfamiliar territory for us, but what’s new?! We researched the best we could (we’ll have a video out with ALL of our resources and recommendations), but ultimately you just have to try it out, and usually remedy a bit as you go.
We wanted to do clay on the interior walls for a few reasons-
It’s abundant where we live
It’s durable when done correctly
It’s VERY moisture regulating, breathable and anti-mold
It’s beautiful
It’s a natural and very healthy material free of anything toxic or harmful, and that’s the kind of home we wanted
There are a lot of options for finishing clay plaster. We did a finish coat, but some natural builders take it even further and do a much finer, more painted on finish coat. We debated, but ultimately decided to just leave it at our plastered finish coat and see how it does.
Now that it’s dry and gone through a bit of wear and tear, we’re still very happy with it! We can always do a finish coat down the road if needed, but it’s beautiful and pretty much as durable as we hoped and expected.
Thank you Luke Garmon for editing!!

That is A TON of work. Congrats it looks great you guys!
the walls look really nice
Spectacular. Very comforting to watch. And the walls look beautiful.
Thanks, it is work, but therapeutic at the same time, unlike any drywall work we’ve done 😅
Beautifully done!
Thank you, the material speaks for itself!
ok now this is a beautiful work. I might be thinking of getting and using the clay out of my ground as well for plastering.
It’s really a joy to work with. Sifting it can be tedious, but it also depends on your soil. We’ll probably talk about resources at a later point but Essential Natural Plasters is a great foundation.
y'all have come a long way since the last video
It’s wild how things really start to come together as you get into the latter part of any project
These are gorgeous, thanks for sharing your build. How are things going?
Thank you!
Great! We’ve completed the build and will have the next video up really soon.
how about a 5 min update video
