Comment “PAINT” for links! 🩷🤍👩‍🎨

This technique is way more approachable than people think. It takes two to three coats of naturally messy “X” strokes and somehow it all dries soft and cloud-like. This is the perfect weekend project…. 

If you’re more type A than me the ✨suggested✨ steps are below 😂

Simple Steps:

	1.	Start with clean, dry walls (no sanding marathon required but you can prime the walls and wait 24 hours to start steps 2-5 if you want to)
	2.	Apply limewash using loose, overlapping X strokes (don’t overthink it!!)
	3.	Let each coat dry 30min-1hr then repeat (2–3 coats total).
	4.	Mix in a densifier on the final coat for longevity.
	5.	Let it fully dry and watch the texture soften as it sets over the next few days. 

Supplies you need….

From James Alexander:
• Limewash Primer
• La Duna color
• Rosa Polverosa color
• Densifier
• 2 limewash brushes

From Amazon (linked in my bio)/ hardware store: 
• Blue painter’s tape
• Ladder
• Painting plastic
• Floor covers / drop cloths
• Primer paint roller brushes with pole extension 

Trust the process!! Your price will vary depending on your square footage ofc 🤍 #DIY #limewashpaint
