I wasn’t sure about how hard it would be, but watching y’all do it has been super helpful
Starting this today, best tutorial I've seen!
Thank you so much for the advice and all the information you provided. I now feel comfortable with doing this in my home.
I'm so happy this video was helpful!💕 Please let me know if you ever have any questions :)
The “mix with water” suggestion will hopefully be the trick to getting this look. I didn’t dilute my 2nd coat of paint and the paint was too thick, which made it harder to spread it out evenly. I could see the brush strokes after it dried. So I tried a 3rd coat during which I wet the dried paint edges on the wall hoping it would blend the paint in when I join two sections in. That only helped a bit. Then I went for a 4th coat wetting the entire wall section by section and painting. That definitely helped move the paint on the walls easily, but it still didn’t look perfect like your wall. So diluting the paint might do the trick. I am sick and tired of painting, but will try one last time with this trick and see if it helps. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞. Thank you so much for the tip!
And did it help?
your video eased my mind so much about doing this!! Thank you for this!!
That truly brings me SO much joy to hear! Limewash really is super forgiving which is what I love about using it! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions throughout the process! Hope your project comes out amazing! 🥰❤️
Wow incredible!!!!!! ❤thank you!
This looks amazing!
Thank you so much! Truly such a fun way to paint a wall! Thank you so much for watching 💖
Thank you so much for the info!! I’m on the fence about using a limewash paint in my bathroom. I love how it feels so cozy. I’m not sure if it’s too much though.. maybe I’ll try it in my bedroom? Idk
Honestly the end result doesn't look very textured at all. Just a matt taupe. There was alot more texture before the second coat. Im not sure if it really is just the camera or not but I think I would deff want more texture.
Ivwill start with a simillar color, like ligth brown, then a strong brown ... so you can see the strocks
Thanks for the video. Can I get your opinion on the matte sealers? Pros and cons? I hung a piece of drywall in my basement for practice. I like the results but when I look at the product at an angle I see the brush strokes and they have a chalky finish that Im not crazy about. But when I apply the matte sealer it does tone down chalky finish but I think it also changes the character a bit but not in a good way. Any thoughts?
There are in the market a special stick to mix this piant ,its made out plastic and it has holes on it
Can you do this with trim on the wall?
I made the jump and bought the paint from the same company. but I am so scared to start the process lol how long did this take to paint? also about how long did it take to dry?
If i have concrete walls and not dry wall would i achieve similar looks
How do you clean lime wash
How many gallons is that bucket?
Looks so good! What color was this?
Thank you so much! 💞This is a color from JH Wall Paints called 114. I absolutely loved it! Really helped to warm up and cozy up the space.
What color lime paint did you use?
I used the color 114 from the company JH Wall Paints. They have so many different and beautiful lime wash paints. On their site they also have tons of inspo with exactly what they used to achieve each look which is super helpful when deciding colors :)
I bought the lime wash from the same company but chose 500 color and I was following the steps from their website and I didn't obtain the lime wash effect and I know why, cuz in their tutorial says to use roller for first coat and that was a mistake cuz the paint after dry came up like one solid color without dimensions. I spoke with technical support from the website how to fix it but still the effect of lime wash is very minimal almost invisible. I hope when I will be painting the hallway and I will use your technique I will get the desire effect
After looking at tons of video of how to apply it on their website I decided to not roll it on for the first coat because I had a fear that the limewash affect wouldn’t show as much with the roller and I wanted to get as much of that lime wash affect as possible so I totally understand where you’re coming from! So sorry it didn’t come out the way it was supposed to 😢 Overall I noticed that most limewash companies recommend using the brush for application ok both costs because the brush does give it a lot of that affect. Also, did you use 50% water for your second coat? That is a very important component to getting that limewash affect as well. The next time I do limewash I would actually like to test out using water in both coats to maximize the lime wash affect! I haven’t tried that yet but would definitely like to for my next project :)
Will this work on textured walls?
I’d love to know the same thing!
So are you supposed to mix with water
For the first coat I did not mix with water, so used the full paint straight onto the wall. For the second coat I did use water, I used 1/2 paint and 1/2 water. I hope this helps ❤️ This worked great for me for the specific brand of paint that I used. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions at all 🥰
Hi, why did you have to prime twice? Couldn't you just use mineral prime only? It looks great!
So the mineral prime is meant specifically for the Limewash paint. The mineral prime does not hide or conceal any marks or patched up holes you may have on the wall prior. The stain-blocking primer I put before was meant to give me a perfect surface to start with. For example, in my case we had some previous patches on the walls and some ugly marks that could show through the Limewash paint in the end. So if you have a perfect wall that has never been painted before you can totally skip the Stain-Blocking primer. I hope this helps! :)
@@TheCraftyGalCarla makes perfect sense. Thank you 🙏
Hi, great and informative video. Question: if you have painted walls (aura by benjamin moore in Chantilly Lace (white) then can you skip the first primer, and only use the mineral primer? Please lmk your thoughts, thanks@@TheCraftyGalCarla
Hi! Where your walls textured??
The walls were not textured at all. The texture you see in the end is the visual texture that the Limewash paint gives :) This was a basic drywall that I painted on top of.
Does anyone know her sisters salon name
What brand did you use?
I used a brand called JH Wallpaints! It had a beautiful finish and goes a very long way! After doing this wall I had a whole half gallon still left and I have continued to use it for other projects and still have paint left over! Hope this helps 🥰❤️
