I hope Kelsey doesn't feel bashed by the negative comments about the blue! Picking a color can be really stressful and sometimes you just gotta try something to see what works and what doesn't. You both have an amazing sense of style and at the same time I'm impressed by the way you don't shy away from revisiting projects like this.

Dear Kelsey the blue was quite unique and really loved the fact that you pushed the boundaries of your comfort zone!!! 🥰

I feel like the door could be a cool toned green or like a burnt sienna color, or even gold! It feels like the space isn't finished yet. It's difficult because it's a transitional space. Maybe some large curtains with tie backs can tie the spaces together by breaking them up enough with a different texture and weight

See since a lot liked the blue still I’m wondering if they should paint the door blue! Not the same blue in my opinion, the color wasn’t exactly my taste personally. But Benjamin Moore had a new dark blue, almost black, color for colors of 2022 and it would look amazing as a pop of color for the door frame.

Limewash is amazing! I wish you kept the “wash” colour as is and not add any more darkness and gray pigment to the finishing coat cause it matched the warmer tones of the door more, the grey is more cool toned and the door is not :((

I think the windows and door would look good in a charcoal black (something similar to the cabinet next to the wall) as they still don't quite go with the cement gray (maybe the gray looks different in person). But it's better than the blue. It looked like a lot of work to redo this wall. Wow! Colour is so hard to pick out so don't be hard on yourselves. We've all been there repainting the same wall two or three times!!! LOL

The blue will always and forever be one of my favorite color picks. RIP Blue wall... It was very interesting to see the lime wash process.

Becky's limestone/limewash explainer gave me major Bill Nye/PBS Kids vibes in the best way. ☺️

To be honest, I like the first coat (the lighter version) much better. The final result looks like a concrete wall, which is great. But since you have such tall ceiling and tall white walls around, it seems like you have a concrete wall wrapped in a regular white walls. It looks a little weird.

The style and color of the doors don't match the modern, grey cement color of the walls.

I really like the limewash technique, and I really liked how the slightly beige look fit so well with the door, but the final wall color feels too cold and cement-like and doesn't really go well with the warm tone of the door. But I love that you try out new things!

I love the texture of the lime, I would have liked a smidge more beige (greige if you will, I remember that makeover haha) toned if it was up to me, but I still like it. I think painting the doors a more greige colour would really help. Plants and voile curtains would also look beautiful

Beige definitely looked better, blended in with the door so well. I think the problem with gray and blue previously was that door is warmer/yellower color, which makes door look completely separate from the wall. They don’t blend into each other nicely, but look like 2 different objects from different projects. Especially in a space with so many textures, styles, colors, tones, it’s important to tie everything together. Colors aren’t complimentary in my opinion. Beige was perfect with that interesting texture.

I also really liked it. I didn't think the color took away from the doors at all, I actually thought it brought more attention to them and made them stand out....

I have to agree with some other comments. That the wall looked good right before the last coat and looks like concrete now. From the screenshot on the video I thought it was going be a lighter color and there was going be hand painted vines and flowers... I think that must have been the marbled effect from earlier. 😅

I honestly don’t know how social media hasn’t driven us all insane. You’re literally never going to be able to please everyone. It’s your space, paint the wall whatever colour you want, you’re the ones who have to live with it all day every day.

I loved the lime wash before that final gray patina was put in. Really through the beige looked great! And now it just looks like cement 🤷🏻‍♀️ idk maybe painting the doors and window trim a charcoal gray would help

I would like to personally thank Kelsey and Becky for introducing Milanote to me lol. I use it to organize and plan my D&D campaigns primarily and the editor features let's my players have their own boards to add their character mood boards, thoughts, and session notes. I also use it in my day to day life just to function. I don't know what I would do without Milanote at this point.

I actually like the warmth of the door with the grey lime wash. I wouldn’t do black or stark white, I think it will be to much contrast and heavy in the space but this makes it look very airy even with the cement look of the paint

I actually love the grey wall with the cream doors. I understand where people are coming from but with it seeming off but I think if you carried more of that cream color that way into the space it would make every more sense. Love it.

I actually liked the blue and thought that it looked great with the new colour palette of the board room. The lime wash paint is really cool though!

The grey is ok I guess. I think beige would have looked better, and as others have pointed out there’s def something off about the color of the door with the grey. I would say make the wall more warm toned or paint the door (and maybe the bars on the window) black!

I am absolutely in love with the lime wash, fits great to the space. Also, the idea that every color is unique and comes out differently through the process while also being more environmentally friendly is just great! Would totally try out myself in the future!

I just downloaded Milanote and I’m already obsessed!! I’m using it to organize my Christmas shopping list and it has completely subdued my anxiety of having different lists, screenshots on my phone and computer, random links in my notes app etc.

Hi ladies! I love everything you guys do! The "blue" was a bold piece statement from all the neutrals that you are working with at the studio. I worked at an office were the front door was yellow, the working bench was that type of blue and every time I came to the office feeling down; those colors made my day so much brighter.... I love bold and bright colors so I thought that that blue was perfect. But yes that lime color looks good, and the explanation even better... hopefully you guys dont shy away from trying more bold colors...

The blue was a great color, but just didn’t match the space… so then they went grey….. It’s just boring. It’s like they got scared of trying new colors and just gave up. I LOVE grey/black/white.. but I seriously think they should’ve tried a different bold statement color instead of just going safe again. Kind of disappointing but still looks good.

I actually loved that blue. I think the reason it didn't fully work was because the windows didn't have any trim. The door was so contrasting against that blue, that the windows got lost and fel like holes, and there was no transition between the bright wall and the muted tones from the other room. Becky, it was a good color!

I feel like the blue would have been so awesome if the rest of the space also had deep, jewel tone colors throughout it. But because the rest of the space is mostly neutrals, it didn’t match quite as well. I think this matches better. (Though I do prefer deeper colors throughout than neutrals, but that’s just me)

The lime wash is such a unique texture and technique. The result feels very old world, and it looks great with the doors and the other colours in the space! Well done! Thanks for the lesson, too. Very cool to learn how you achieved this look!

It looks like a cemented wall due to the texture & color. For an industrial themed place, I think the new color works. My eccentric side actually likes the blue one (I am not complaining against the change, just a matter of preference). I like this video being educational ^_^

Is it just me or does the mix of frosted and clear glass bother anyone else? I think framing the windows and frosting would make it look a lot more cohesive. Love the new color though.

I REALLY like the visual texture of this. Like you, it's also just a titch bit too grey, particularly with the warmer/yellowy shade of white on the doors.

My stomach just dropped, I got the sickest feeling. That blue wall was my absolute favorite part of your studio. I was so happy when you painted an actual color, a beautiful color in there. I'm an artist and have been an art teacher for over 27 years and I am so tired, exhausted of neutrals. Beiges grays tans browns pale yellows. The world is full of such beautiful colors and it's like they've been killed. It breaks my heart it literally breaks my heart. My bedroom is the most beautiful purple you've ever seen, my bathroom is the most beautiful ocean blue, my kitchen is an aqua that just makes you feel alive. The rest of my house is white bright white all the trim is white all the crown molding everything. I live in a world of color. My art room is so full of color all my students over the years have just loved that room and feel so good in it because it's full of colors that turn on your imagination that makes your heart feel good not blah blah blah depressing neutrals. it's like shutting your brain off. Okay I'm venting. And someday this neutral palette will go away and people will have color again. But that wall made me happy and now it's still a beautiful door and beautiful windows but now it has sad color. I don't even think of neutrals is being color anymore they are the lack of color the absence of joy. When I moved into my house the entire house ceiling walls everything was a light tan. If it wasn't such an amazing house I would have shrieked and ran away. But I fixed it it's alive with color and life. Oh and all the carpet in my house is green. And to those of you who can't imagine it every single person who comes in my house absolutely loves it and wishes that they were brave enough to paint their house like mine and choose a beautiful Green carpet that goes with everything!

Nooooo! I loved that color

I never had an issue with the blue but then you did this and I love it!!! I desperately want yo lime wash something now. ❤❤

The limewash texture is great and it was cool to learn how to DIY it. Thank you! I think the door needs to be repainted now. A fresh cooler white or creme, black/charcoal, or maybe one of the colors from the new meeting room mural would be cool. To be honest, I'm over warm-toned everything.

I literally was hoping for them to make it a textured wall like a stone wall or something because of the door. Cottagecore vibes. So satisfied with this makeover. But I hope Kelsey doesn't feel bad. Don't stop, Kelsey!

I thought blue would go over so much better. Yknow Bridgerton vibes and all that. Maybe the color pop is a little intense but I thought the blue was cute. It's your wall though! Do what makes you happy! Update, it reminds me of bare concrete like before it's plastered or painted... Maybe it looks better in person? Overall it looks fine, and blends in well.

The limewash looks amazing!
