Lime Paint Interiors Walls
Have you ever been so drawn to something that every time you see a picture of it…you stop and stare? Well, that was me with lime paint. I kept seeing it everywhere and I had to finally do my research on it. Turns out it’s a technique that looks so much like European plaster, but seemed to be a much more “doable” product. As you all know we mostly do everything ourselves so I did not have the funds to pay a professional to create an old world type wall for me. I looked into a few companies that provide the product and then I came across Pure Original. Not only did I see room after room that completely inspired me (I think I can say I found my true taste), but the color options were amazing. I knew I wanted to try it out but I decided lets start small and light and I had the perfect room for it…the powder room. If you all remember I shared a glimpse at this space way back in January when we had added all our new door knobs in the hallway…but I had a few more changes before I was ready to share the entire space.

Before I get ahead of myself let me share some of their gorgeous products with you from their Instagram feed. My photos are kind of hard to see the texture and I don’t want you to miss it. In person you can definitely see it best but I think because our space doesn’t have natural light it just wasn’t showing in the photographs. The texture of and old world feel of these wall from the lime paint just totally drew me in to that old world feel and style.
So, what is lime paint…well basically it is a mineral paint that has existed for thousands of years. It create a texture and a very matte finish. It also has this awesome texture that when applied right you get a true old-world look to your walls. The product I used was the Marrakech finish. It creates almost like a concrete facade to to your walls and when I tell you it’s so easy to use…it really is. We were shocked with how quickly we finished this project…and I can only imagine an accent wall or less tedious room to work with would be even quicker. I shared the step by step video on my IG (@seekinglavenderlane) to my highlights button under Marrakech. (and yes there is frog tape around the pipe I did not even notice we left that on until I was editing these photos. We’ve had the walls done for about month now too).

Love the vanity! Unfortunately, can’t see anything on the walls in the pictures. It’s showing as a light color but not a hint of anything lime except the vase. 🙁
Hi Leslie, I mentioned in the post it’s very hard to see the texture but it’s basically a matte slightly textured wall effect. If I had better lighting it would have taken better. It’s not a lime color though it’s called lime a mineral paint.
Thanks Deb! I just looked at the texture on their website so I’m going back to your pics to look at it. Thanks for clarifying it’s not a color I should be looking for lol.
No problem Leslie, I actually wasn’t even thinking that could be interrupted as color so I’m glad you brought that to my attention.
Looks beautiful! I have been thinking of applying this same technique to my hall bath. How different is it from the Venetian Plaster from Lowe’s? Also, what type of sealer did you decide on?
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Michelle, It’s very similar to venetian plaster but much easier to apply. If you see my instgram highlights button you’ll see the technique. It goes on like a thick paint. I chose a matte sealer but have yet to apply it.
Thank you so much for posting this, I believe this is exactly what I’ve been thinking to do to my home, when I get it. I will have to hire someone, as I have leg and knee problems and could not do. Hoping they can. Thank you!!
Oh awesome! Good luck with your project, it’s such a neat product and they have a few different types and the colors are fantastic.
Hello again, also I wanted to ask, is the paint easy to get in the states?
Yes, the website I have linked you can buy from there. I got mine right away.
I love it! I would like to use this application in my hallway. I went onto the Pure Original site but I couldn’t see where I could place an order. Where should I be looking? Thanks!
Hi Kathy,
Here is the link to the dealer’s page: https://www.pure-original.com/dealers?l=US#lang If it doesn’t work just go back to their site and find “dealers” click country and they should pop. They are newer in the US.
It looks absolutely gorgeous!
Did you put the Dead Flat Eco Sealer on, or just left it as is.
Thank you Agnes, it has no sealer as of yet, but I have the Dead flat Sealer if I want to apply it.
I love this!!! FABULOUS!!
Would you share with you got the extension mirror?
Thank you!
Thank you Patty! The mirror is actually an antique
The lime paint is fab and the powder room is perfect! Can you help me understand the placement of the globe light fixture in such close proximity to the mirror. Is it a new decorating trend? Thank you and again I love the paint.
Linda
Thank you Linda! I’m not sure its a new decorating trend but I loved the look of the pendant’s reflection in the antique mirror. I guess sometimes you go with your gut and not the trend. hope that helps
