*EASY* DIY Limewash Wall Using Regular Wall Paint (anyone can do this) 

Yaaay 🍀🥰

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 😅

@@DeekshaKoli Ack, I uploaded a bunch of pictures to pinterest and then tried to link it here and I guess RU-vid deleted my comment!! :(

@@samodell5157Wpuld also love to see images too! About to paint my alcove green using this technique!

@@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!

Hahaha yes, I didn't do it on purpose 😂

I used matte, to achieve that limewash effect, since limewash is matte. However you could definitely use whatever you prefer better. Satin and velvet should work too 🥰🫶

@@HomeByMon Thank you so much for your reply! I am so excited to try this!

Hi @HomeByMon I’m painter You recommend eggshell or satin paint for a good result?

Yes! Just make sure to use wipeable acrylic paint, and your wall will be steam and cooking resistant ☺️

So glad you like my project! Will do 🥰

@@leons5366 you can absolutely leave it with only 1 coat. However, I did 2 coats to make sure everything was evenly covered. But if you like it, you don't have to do it 🥰🫶

You don't have to clean it 😊

Do glad you like it 🥰

I'm so happy you like my limewash wall project! 🥰 Go for it!! Also, I used matte finish 🤗

@@HomeByMon thank you so much ☺️

Glad you like it!

Thank you so much 🥰

I am not really sure how often you do it, just start and you'll see how it goes

I used matte ☺️

@@HomeByMon Thanks!

So glad you think so!

It is pretty flat, especially since you are watering the paint by going in with a wet brush ☺️

I actually used basic wall acrylic paint, I don't know the brand 😅

So glad you like it 🥰 Hmm.. I would say always prime the walls before applying plaster. Also, maybe you can try using drywall mesh tape underneath to prevent it from cracking. If you try it, let me know if it works 🥰

I used a primer, let it dry out for 2 hours and then painted the wall with the "Limewash" technique 🥰

​@@HomeByMonThank You! so much for clarifying this for me. 😊

Hi 🥰 I used basic acrylic wall primer

I think it should work ☺️💕

I am so sorry, I don't remember it 😭 But it was a local brand, I am from a small country in Europe, so the brand I got would not be available everywhere 🫶

I see thank you, will latex paint work?

@@sofyaneklyudova9552 I think so.. just make sure it's matte finish, to achieve that limewash look 🥰

Glad you like it 🥰

I don't know what kind she used, but primer is formulated to help the paint bond to our walls. I don't know why the paint cannot be formulated to bond to the walls, but that is the way the industry/technology has developed. Each paint type has a primer that it works best with. If you simply can't get primer, the paint will go on the wall...oh but another purpose of primer is to cover bold colors that might be on your wall already. So if you want to go from a bold color to a white or neutral, you're going to have a really hard time without a primer. Even if you want to go to a new bold color, the old color is going to impact the results without covering it with a primer. White paint may work but it's going to layer on top and not bond in so chipping will be more likely. If you don't have kids, and don't move your furniture much, it will work for a while. Work with what you've got if that's what you've got to work with 😉

Yes! I am from Macedonia 🤣💕 So happy I have subscribers from my home country ☺️🍀

Yes. I used acrylic wall paint. Mixed two similar shades, to achieve this "limewash" effect.

I think you could, but I'm not sure. You should try it

You can do just one shade, lighter or darker, whatever you prefer best 🥰

I think you can go without promer if the paint is all in one 🥰

Yes, both colors are matt finished. You can try the same technique, it should work with any paint. I personally love working with acrylic, since it is more durable. Plus the matt finish adds up on that limewash effect 🥰

@@HomeByMon Thanks for answering ❤️

@@theSB0007 no problem ☺️ anytime!

It was matte finish

Try it out! ☺️

@@grenforte1355 the wider the better! Mine was not that wide, about 8-10 cm but I made it work 🩷

Yes, you can do that ☺️

Hmm I am not really sure, I haven't tried it, but I think it should work 😅

I am not sure, but I think it should work ☺️

I am not really sure, since these are local paint brands, and they don't really have names 😓

Hmm I'm not sure 🙄 I have only tried it this way, so if you do try it, let us know 🥰

I think it would work even better, giving it that "cement" look 🥰

I would try matte or chalkboard paint

It's a bit expensive, plus I live in a small country in Europe, so I couldn't find limewash anywhere 😞 Also, acrylic is so much more durable

I see. Then pardon my ignorance and/or arrogance🫤

@@jandmath 🥰

@@fannymackk wow 😔 I'm so sorry it didn't work for you. What paint did you use?

🥰
