Still a little unfinished
Living Room, Still in Progress
Limewashed walls, linen curtains and a thrifted chair. A room that is coming together slowly, and that's okay.

This room is a little unfinished, like most of our house. I'm sharing it now because the messy middle is the honest part.

How I did it
Limewash the walls
Brush it on in loose X strokes. It looks blotchy wet and dries into that soft, cloudy finish.
Hang curtains high and wide
Mount the rod close to the ceiling and past the window frame. The window looks twice as big.
Reupholster the chair
Up next. I'll update this post when it's done.
What I'd do differently
- Limewash is not forgiving to touch up. Do a full wall at a time.
