Lime Wash Paint Fireplace Makeover

Remember when I said I wanted to use lime wash paint to give the fireplace a little makeover?

I went with the sample to the far right (#103 from JH Wall Paints) and finally got busy painting earlier this week! And I’m so IN LOVE!

The color change is very subtle, but the lime wash adds so much warmth and texture to the space. My only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner.

Small change but a really big difference, it makes the living room feel so much cozier!

Here’s a look at the fireplace last Christmas.

And this Christmas.

I just love how it makes the fireplace more of a focal point in the room!

The texture is hard to capture in a photo unless I get really close, but in person, the lime wash paint adds so much soft texture and dimension. And even though this was my first time ever using lime wash paint and was a little nervous to tackle this myself, I didn’t have any trouble with the application. I followed this tutorial exactly, and it turned out so great!

With the fireplace feeling so much cozier, I couldn’t wait to hang our stockings!

This was a very beginner-friendly painting project. If you’ve been thinking about using lime wash paint in your home, I highly recommend it. I love it so much I’m trying to think of another place in my home where I might be able to use it!
