    This is very pretty. I’m definitely doing this in my living room. Keep an eye on the bathroom though since the finish is matte in a place that has more moisture than the rest of the house. If your walls start to sweat when you take hot showers keep an eye out for possible water damage. It could take years to set in but it depends on how long your showers are lol.

    I really love the warmth and dimension this paint treatment adds. Can you tell me how much paint it took to complete a room and whether your base coat was a primer, or 1-2 coats of finish paint? I’m trying to muster the courage to try this

    I love this! I watched so many self lime washing videos, but this is the most natural and gorgeous. You did great job guys 🎉🎉 First of all, your color choices are wonderful. I am gonna try this for my house remodeling. Thank you!

    Thank you! I think this is probably one of the more high-quality finishes I have seen, and I think it is because the colours chosen are much more subtle in contrast. I have seen loads of Faux Limewash videos but I still get the feeling it just sort of looks like a bad paint job rather than a natural limewash effect. The real deal seems far far too expensive for me right now, so willing to give your method a try :)

    So glad you like it! I was really happy with how it turned out! I do think with this method, keeping the two paint colors close in color helps it to look a little better and more realistic!
