A hand-applied mineral finish in soft pigments and considered movement — our signature work.
Limewash is slaked lime and natural mineral pigment, applied by hand in thin, brushed coats. Conventional paint dries to a plastic film that seals a wall; limewash bonds into the surface and stays breathable. That one difference is why it behaves so differently in a room.
It doesn’t sit flat. It settles into a soft, cloud-like surface that shifts through the day — cooler in morning light, warmer and deeper under lamplight. From across the room you read an even field of color; up close you see the hand of the brush.
The same color can read quiet and tone-on-tone or full of movement, depending on the tool, the number of coats, and how far the contrast is pushed. We settle on it with you at sampling — on boards or directly on your walls, in your own light.
We work with artisan mineral finishes from makers such as Vasari and Color Atelier: professional formulations that cure to a stable surface, so nothing transfers onto clothes or furniture.
No. Traditional raw limewash could chalk, which is where the reputation comes from. We use professional artisan formulations from makers such as Vasari and Color Atelier, applied and cured properly, which give a stable finish that won’t transfer.
Yes. Painted walls are sealed, so they need a mineral primer first to give the limewash something porous to bond to. That preparation is part of every project — it is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that fails.
Yes. Limewash is breathable and highly alkaline, which makes it naturally mold-resistant, so it performs well in humidity. For splash zones and wet areas we apply a protective sealer suited to the space.
