Project overview
Three Walls, Three Moods
A Highlands couple wanted their new-build's flat white walls to feel collected and warm: a limewash fireplace wall, a deep-green dining room, and a blush reading nook.
The challenge
Limewash is unforgiving — lap marks and uneven pressure show permanently. The clients had never seen it in person and needed confidence before committing.
Our approach
We made three take-home sample boards in different dilutions, approved under the home's actual evening light. Then our finish artisan applied the limewash in loose crisscross strokes over two days, with the solid-color rooms finished around it.
Scope
Fireplace limewash wall, dining room in deep green, reading nook in warm blush.
Products
Mineral limewash, low-VOC matte wall paints, artisan glaze for depth.
Result
"The first thing every guest asks about" — completed in 3 days with sample approval.
