Hey! I have been thinking of doing a green/blue wall too, do you have any pictures or IG or Pinterest maybe to show how it turned out? Ofc it’s completely ok if you don’t, I just thought I’d take my chance and ask because I am painting all four walls of my bedroom and it would be nice to see how it looks before I commit 😅

@@samodell5157pleaseeee find a way to send through pictures! I can’t find any examples with using normal paint to get a dark colored limewash-style finish. I’d try limewash itself if I wasn’t concerned with the upkeep with dogs, or the difficulty of painting over it when I inevitably want to change in a few years!
