Thank you so much fir sharing all of this information with us! I’m new to lime wash painting and feel ready to move forward and inspired. I have a 1905 Victorian and the walls I’m lime wash painting are original horsehair plaster and I think they will look perfectly imperfect AMD beautiful when done.

Oh wow that sounds amazing! I am so thrilled that I could help share some info and inspiration. And I would absolutely love to see how your space turns out too! I’ve never applied limewash to a plastered wall so I’m curious how it will turn out. I also wonder if you may need a different type of primer?

Really thank you very much! I’m going to be applying this process on exterior stucco columns and front door casing. I have been painting for over 30 years and you learn something new every day, really appreciate it thank you 🙏🏼

@joshmrivera Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment! I’d recommend doing some extra research before you start. If it’s exterior stucco you may not need to prime at all (and if you do choose to prime first, you should use lime or mineral primer). Good luck with your project!!

Lime wash only the wall behind my bed in a deeper tone and use regular paint on remaining walls in complimentary color. 3. Lime wash all bedroom walls in one lighter neutral color.

@joshmrivera 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! I think no matter which way you go, it’ll come out awesome! My vote would probably go with either one color for the whole space! I think it really would make a beautiful canvas for the space for you to accent with furniture and decor. I think it’s enough of a feature that you don’t need to squeeze in 2 different colors. Just a thought! Good luck with your project!
