Eric Yulfo's Story

My name is Eric Yulfo. I am the assistant to the Director of Operations as well as the head of the Sales Department. My journey at Firenze Enterprises started in 2004. I started in the warehouse mixing buckets and worked my way up to where I am today. When I first saw this product, I fell in love with it instantly and I vowed to have it done in my house. The only problem with that was I had to convince my wife. You see, my wife is not a big fan of Venetian plaster. (for the life of me I still can’t figure out why). Her line of thinking was that she didn’t like the idea of having Venetian plaster on the wall for life. I did convince her, however, to let me put Marmorino KS in our master bathroom. To go with the décor in our bathroom, I picked the color Salmon. Once the Marmorino KS was on the wall, she did admit that it looked beautiful. The following month we were remodeling the interior of our home and our kids made it known that they did not want regular paint in their rooms. Knowing how my wife felt about Venetian plaster, I suggested another of our products called Dune. She left it up to the kids to decided for themselves. So their rooms are now done in Dune. One day, while putting on the Dune in my son’s room, my wife asked me for some of our Firenze Primer. I told her where it was and thought nothing of it. At the end of the day I went to take a shower. As I entered our bathroom, I noticed something very different. To my horrified eyes, my wife had painted over the Marmorino KS with a yellow gold latex paint. I yelled out to her, “WHAT DID YOU DO!.” Her answer? The thought of having this on our walls forever didn’t sit well with me, so I painted over it.” I told her that the Marmorino KS was still on the wall. With a smile on her face she looked at me and said, “yes I know that, but at least I won’t see it so in my head it’s not there.” As a result of this experience, I found out that if an individual no longer wants Venetian plaster on their walls, which I still can’t figure out why, they are not committed to it. It will not require labor intensive sanding or anything like that.
