Thoughtful Finds, A Design Insight & A Project We Love
This week’s edit is all about understated sophistication—pieces that elevate a space without overpowering it, a design insight that challenges a trending favorite, and a project we can’t stop thinking about.
Rethinking Limewash
Limewash has had its moment—but if you’re considering it, Roman Clay or a Faux Finish might be the better bet.
Roman Clay: Thicker, more durable, and offers a luxurious, organic finish. Works beautifully across a range of surfaces.
Faux Finish: Can replicate the look of limewash, marble, or wood while being easier to maintain. A great option for achieving texture without the drawbacks.
Why Not Limewash? While undeniably beautiful, limewash is highly porous, stains easily, and touch-ups often require a full redo. It’s a high-maintenance finish in spaces that need durability.
Current Favorite: Maison by Portola Paints – a gorgeous, versatile alternative.
