In a recent kitchen reno project, I was on the hunt for a ready made can of limewash to apply to a range hood. I found it difficult to source a can in my area and took to the internet for advice. Many suggest that lime wash is a fairly simple recipe that can actually be made from scratch from easy to source materials! Say no more, I had to try this out for myself. After many sample batches and different formulas tested, I’ve come up with my very own recipe that worked beautifully on a large wall in our office.

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.
They always choose the ugliest colors, like, often
@@emilymulcahy rude much?
@@emilymulcahy this is straight up untrue. Their color schemes are so often on point. Also I will unironically defend the bathroom brown paint until the day I die
It matched her eyes beautifully.
Definitely agree.
I loved the blue, but I agree that it didn't really go with the rest of the space. I hope this doesn't dissuade you from taking risks in the future! Love the limewash in the end
The arch doors would look cool in a white washed wood colour or black! I feel like the door is too warm with the cool tone of the walls! But I do like the texture and lime wash look! I think the grey tone works with the floors and kitchen as you said :)
I was thinking black
That was exactly what I was thinking
I'm going to start off by saying I was one of the few who actually liked the blue wall. I thought it was a bold, cheery choice for that entryway! I also love the lime wash. I've always loved that technique. My only issue now is that I LOVED the beige color the wall before that final coat! Now the doors look dingy and like they should be painted black to match the cool tone of the paint?⁷
I agree about the blue! I always get faked out when they start to hype a "crazy" color and it is just a new version of brown or beige 😁 I love watching their videos because they are inspiring, boss, diy babes but I know their style isn't for me. The blue wall was absolutely my vibe but not really their's.
YES! That beige was sooo much better than this final result. And it looked finished already! And from the video it feels like they also think that.
@@dictatorchan5584 Yes girl... to everything you just said🙌
@@isa0305 I was shocked when she essentially painted over it😧
I liked the blue. Glad I’m not alone in that.
The lime wash kind of looks like a cement wall now. I don’t think it’s a bad thing but maybe painting the doors and window framing black would make it all feel more cohesive. Design is a process for sure, love seeing all the different iterations over time
That’s a really good idea!
Ooo the back would be good cuz then it would match the divider on the other side of the room (like where they do the DIYs)
Yes I agree!
I thought the same thing too. It looks like cement color. The overall color with the door look pale
For sure- black or a pop of color! Loving the look of the wall but the brass door handles look odd / dated with the wall update. Maybe time to update them too!
Really think those doors would look amazing black. I feel the warmth of the cream doors is fighting with the coolness of the grey wall.
I agree!
Completely agree. The cream color just doesn’t fit with the industrial/modern look of the rest of the space. It’s retaining too much of a traditional look that just isn’t blending in with the overall style.
Yes. I would paint them black
Me too!
Yasssss😍!!
Dear Kelsey the blue was quite unique and really loved the fact that you pushed the boundaries of your comfort zone!!! 🥰
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.
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.
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.
Yeah it looked good until the last “patina” layer. I feel like Becky just really wanted the dark grey so did it regardless of what was decided
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.
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
There was nothing wrong with the color, but some people just don’t like blue. It’s almost a Caribbean blue. I didn’t hate it. I’m so sick of neutrals they’re nothing new it’s the paint color cycle. Excited to see what you’re going to do.
It's more about the color not being anywhere else, it doesn't match the rest of the theme, but it is a beautiful color you're right about that.
I think it’s because there is little to no natural light on it. It’s to dark and heavy for the space
@@-hayleymc_is_tired-5038 agree it's fun trying to figure out why that color didn't fit
Blue is my favourite colour but that wall was not it.
I agree with the sea of beige everyone is doing. What is going on?? It's like 1970's office cubicle colors all over and I hate it. Beige is great in moderation but right now everyone is wearing it and decorating with it so it looks like some vintage movie about what a future space ship should look like. or maybe the cave house Luke Skywalker grew up in??
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 agree, it doesn't quite mesh with the door anymore
Yep 👍 I agree
I totally agree. I thought that the lighter beige looked so good with the doors! I'm sure with another coat of that it would have been perfect.
I totally agree, especially since the vote was for the lighter color.
Agree, but now that the choice has been made there’s a learning opportunity for everyone on talking about why the warm neutrals of the door (color and handles) aren’t working with the cool wall! Lots of ppl suggesting painting the door. I’m excited to see the next stage in the design problem solving process :)
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 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.
Suddenly we all loved the blue! lol
i would have liked it a lot more if you didnt change it so much with the final coat, but it still looks great! the blue wasn’t bad either. maybe that wall will just be your new version of the pegboard in the loft getting changed up every so often 🥴
LOL I'm here for this wall being the new peg board 😂
so into this idea!!!
I liked how Becky explained how limewash works. That was so cool! I'm a bit sad the final colour is grey and not beige. Personally I liked the test colour better. But grey is unobtrusive too.
Don’t start complaining again!
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
Becky's limestone/limewash explainer gave me major Bill Nye/PBS Kids vibes in the best way. ☺️
I actually really like Becky's design decisions with the arch and Kelsey's color choice. This wasn't necessary! But hey, more content, so thank you 🥰
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 honestly loved both paint jobs…they both brought something different to the space! The blue really made it pop, but the grey really tied into the rest of the environment…also loved learning the science behind the lime wash! Great video 😊
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 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 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 love it! It doesnt compete with the beautiful door and the color is the perfect tone to make natural plants pop.
Yes! Painting the door and window grids black would just take it to another level
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 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!
Becky just bringing up random memes and tiktoks throughout this was my highlight
I LOVED the blue. I actually was really hoping/guessing she would pick blue!! 💙💙💙💙
I love this style and colour too!!🤍🤍🤍🤍
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'm blown away that so many people hated that color. I loved it :3 -- and I know you can't please everyone but that wall was so much more fun/vibrant/alive before. :(
I agree. It added personality
same! loved it. agree it didn't *totally* match the colors everywhere else, but it was a nice change and they could've worked with it
Me, too!! This one is just meh. Such a drastic change from wow!
Loved it too. Just needed a little finessing.
LOVE the final result, the grey tone makes it look more cement-y and I’m obsessed
Okay but seriously I absolutely loved the little science break in the middle and would high key be stoked if it was a feature of more videos ❤️🧪
for the record i loved the vibe of the blue 😌
I love the look of the lime wash. The colour however was looking great but the grey addition changed it totally. Not much point in voting on colour when it’s not used.
Yeah I feel like Becky just swooped in at the end to make it the color she wanted
I get the feeling Becky and Kelsey don't get along. It's too bad.
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!
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 honestly agree with you!
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...
I agree wirh you! The Blue had personality and swag. I am sooooooo bored with neutrals
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.
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 ^_^
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!
It was BEAUTIFUL! Becky did an AMAZING JOB! I like her AND HER ideas better anyway!
I liked the blue! A pop of something different!
Honestly, I like both the blue and the gray, just in different ways. The blue looked really fun and quirky (and it's the same color as my kitchen cabinets), but the gray looks very lux and mature. Nice job on both!
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 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.
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.
Yeah maybe that's what looks weird so the paint looks weird too
yea overall the mix of the different glass finishes, the arch vs square glass, and the warm yellow tone of the door/window frames makes it all look unfinished/uncohesive. i love that they're trying to hard tho.
@@rocioiribe5841 I know. I want it so bad to be good because I see the effort but it looks uncohesive still :(
I think you need to add trim to the windows painted the same colour as the door!
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 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 way becky do a presentation about the painting process is so freaking adorable 😭😭😭
I know there are a lot of people saying that the warm tones of the door doesn’t go with the cool tones of the lime wash but I really like the contrast of the two together and think it looks nice 😊
Researching clay plaster, lime mortar and finishes, natural building in general, and this is so cool to see TSGs doing limewash paint, dipping their toes into the world of natural materials!
Love the color and the contrast with the door! It looks beautiful!
Loved the blue. So sorry to see it go!
I loved the blue! It maybe didn't go with everything else, but I loved it. Becky, some people like cool colors!
The gray is originally what I loved based off your mood board!!!! So happy with how this looks!!!!
Loved how informative this video was! Top notch work Becky!!
I totally agree that there's nothing wrong with the blue, it reminds me of Turkey and my Turkish ex for some reason tho, but yea some people just simply don't like blue but it doesn't make blue a bad color!~~~
Maybe it reminds you of Turkey because of 'evil eye' charms!
I think it’s polarizing because it doesn’t mesh well with their established aesthetic.
I like how it looked before you added the grey at the end. Doesn't go with the color of the inside door and doesn't blend well with the colors in the next room. Sorry! It looked better as a warmer tone.
I AM HERE TO SAY I LOVED THE BLUE!! BUT - the lime wash really does make all the colors and tones SO COHESIVE! GREAT WORK
I LOVED the blue. It’s one of my favorite colors.
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. The sort of putty colour of the original swatches was brilliant. I really appreciate you showing how to do this and breaking it all down for us, as I can really see doing limewash on a wall of mine.
I actually like the blue.. It's the POP statement of the space.. Like an accent wall or something... (but I guess you have your abstract mural wall for that inside the meeting room?) Maybe some think it doesn't belong in the space coz there's not much that relates to the color overall.. Anyway, to be honest, the limestone is giving me kind of cement vibes... Maybe because of the gray tone? I don't know.. Maybe you can make the door and the windows contrast with the gray? Just a suggestion... But you guys are the designers... So your call... 👍🏻👍🏻
My OG team! i love how you really took the time to explain the process. Its unfair to be bashed for the paint color considering how you made that wall and door partition. Keep then coming! Always excited to see your videos. 👍🏻
So much better than the boring beige that I was expecting! Color is not the enemy!
I really like the blue. It looked awesome. But limewash is always amazing
I really don’t think it was the blue that was the issue but it just looked unfinished, probably because how wide the makeshift windows were and it took away from the awesomeness of that door!
I think it was the blue. And it wasn't a bad color of blue, just not the best fit for the whole space.
@@LarrietDarling too much of a contrast with the wood I think
@@LarrietDarling If she had painted the door and the window trims, frame out the windows, I think it could have been a great pop of color and still fit in…just needed a little more to complete ☺️
Agree completely. Just needed played with to perfect the look.
Wow it looks so natural and ties in with the space beautifully. I love it! ❤
I am in love with y’all’s videos and inspired to do more DIYs. Thank you for sharing everything!
I loved the extra science details and that's so awesome you included information about the primer (once upon a time when reading about limewash, I only read the "to avoid" surfaces) 😊. This is now filed into the "I think I can....🤔" Haha.
I do prefer this colour and the texture. The only thing is the edges of the wall, unrelated to the colour. Maybe quarter round as a border to help the edges look cleaner and the wall to look more integrated
Am I the only one seeing hints of the blue at the edge of the door still? I think they need to take the doors off and paint them a cooler color to match the wall better and when they do they can detail the door frame
Love the mini science lesson behind the process. Really nicely done!
Omg it turned out soooooo beautiful!!!! You did such a great job! I’m obsessed!!!
14:36 I actually LOVED the way the wall looked when some of the paint was dry, and some of it wasn't - like marble, but not really. I love the final color as well, but it would have looked *amazing* if you could make that same effect but in a way that's permanent!!!
I feel like the only person who was happy to see a new colour. I'm sad it wont be blue.
Oh my gosh I love this!! So much texture 😍
I loved the blue! But I also love refreshing spaces and repainting regularly too. Can’t wait to see it when it’s done!
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!
The way it looked at 14:35 looked awesome! 👌 wish it would've stayed that color and texture 😕
Looks mouldy
I loved the science behind the paint! Great episode!
Omg I love how concerned Kelsey sounded when Becky said she cried on the floor!! You could hear the love in her voice!! True Friendship goals right there!!! ❤️❤️
I loved the blue wall 💙
Me too
Nooooo! I loved that color
I loved the science lesson and I think the wall came out great!
Need a studio plant tour, such a good variety of plants, and all look so beautiful!
I’m in the minority I believe, I liked the blue. It maybe wasn’t the best choice based on your colour scheme everywhere else but, since I don’t love the mustard, terracotta tones (I’m a colour chicken 🤣) this choice is awesome! I love the texture it added.
Same girl! I think if they painted the doors it would have changed it all
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.
Never knew about lime wash before! Very informative. Nice work Becky and team!
I love how this turned out xx
I Was not against the blue colour...I was just wondering "why???" Didn't Kelsey paint her own front door green because she didn't like THAT specific shade of blue...?
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.
This is definitely one of my favourite videos from you guys, I loved seeing you using a traditional technique!! I'd love to see more like this :)
The blue was one of the few wall colors y'all have used that I actually LIKED.
Pokemon adjacent chemistry explanations!! Hooked.
The wall turned out great by the way! (For all that I actually liked the colour ^^’)
It turned out great! I think this fits so much better in the studio! When you said it needs a porous surface to paint first, I thought, "Oh no, she's going to plaster that whole wall." Glad to see you just needed a certain primer! lmao You did a great job!
I LOVED the little DIY science class. MORE PLEASE!!
Omg so much work!!!!! You have tremendous patience
