This Simple DIY Limewash Paint Hack Costs Less Than $20 — But the Results Look Way More Expensive

A limewash living room.

Limewash paint has an inherently grounding effect. It's tactile and full of character, and can quickly add new dimension to a space.

The centuries-old wall covering is composed of crushed limestone and was originally used as a protective coating for buildings given its breathable and water-resistant quality. These days, limewash is embraced for its organic and calming profile. The drawback is that it only comes in a limited range of colors and can be pricey. For reference, a gallon of limewash paint costs just over $90 at Walmart and requires additional supplied to apply, including a primer, limewash densifier, and a sealer on top of that.
