LIME PAINTING & PLASTER CUSTOM FINISHES

There’s nothing like hand-brushed lime painting or custom plastering to make your home feel elegant, personal and unique.

The fad of heavy-handed faux finishes has come and gone.  We’ll always prefer a custom finish that stands the test of time.  

Lime painting and plaster finishes are found worldwide and have been around for centuries.  With modern-day products, we can make your home feel like a European villa, or a natural, organic oasis, or just bring a unique, hand-crafted touch to a well-designed space.

Read our comprehensive blog post for all about lime painting, lime wash finishes, and lime plaster.  We explain how they’re different, so you can decide which one you love for your home.  View some of our own unique, custom projects, and browse our Instagram and Houzz pages for more.

More about lime painting and plaster and other “custom finishes”

Custom finishes have a long history.  Sheetrock and today’s acrylic-based wall paints are a modern invention.  Before that, both interiors and exteriors were finished in historic plasters and paints made of natural materials such as lime or even clay.  And decorative finishes such as faux marbling have been done for centuries in Europe to imitate the real thing where installing real marble wasn’t practical.  (One of our founder Lisa’s greatest thrills was seeing an Italian artist touching up faux marble panels in the Vatican!)

Modern paints and plasters have expanded the range of what can be done.  The key for today’s homeowner is to give their home a unique touch that won’t be trendy and out-dated in a few years.  (Remember all the heavy glazed wall finishes during the Tuscan trend?)  We’re here to help you envision and create a custom finish for your home that is classic and timeless.
