Exposed Lath Walls or Plaster? You brought her.

Around the same time I found the above photo at houzz, my husband was working on movie that was filming at Big Red Sun in Venice, (California), and was looking at this all day:

When he came home every night to this, I think he put two and two together and figured we could just paint instead!

And maybe end up with something like this:

Although our bedroom has a flat roof, this is still pretty inspiration:

The Lettered Cottage actually tore down a wall to make a gorgeous feature wall in their dining room:

All these high ceiling make it all seem so amazing!

Another retail space with everything whitewashed. Maybe it would make my bedroom look cleaner, for once:

My only issue is the practicality of having exposed lath in a home in Southern California. We we're planning to only expose the interior walls of our bedroom, and then insulate and drywall the other two. The only information I could find on how hot/cold/drafty it would be were people saying it's gross and a palmetto bug telling me it's a good idea. Which is a nice change from him being on my channel changer.

Any thoughts on exposing and painting lathe would be lovely! Including the correct spelling!
