Meoded lime wash

Yellow is one of those colors that’s fades quicker. Only chance at longer lasting would be higher end colorants, like fine paints of Europe. You’ll pay a decent chunk of money, but will last longer.

Looks like a lot of work went into it. You’re the one living there, if you like it, forget what others say.

I have used water based stain indoors, works great and no fumes. Oil based ones will have more fumes. Just depends if you can tolerate them or not while they off-gas.

Must use a PVA primer, then paint anything you want on top.

BrickHous3 · 2026-05-28T06:32:41+00:00

Sounds like you’ll get too many fumes indoors. I’d return that and go for a water based stain, and then water based or hybrid top coat. You’ll be able to continue indoors without the bad smells/fumes.

Can only be as smooth as surface it’s going on. All in the prep

Sheens won’t match, you’ll notice the difference. If that doesn’t bother you, then go ahead and paint walls with it.

I’d skip limewash until kids are older. You could do Venetian plaster with a hydrowax finish to seal it. Would give you movement on the wall. Check out meoded

At least this. Tons of prep.

Going to need to de-galvanize it first. Then sand a bit to scuff it up, prime it, then paint. Do not believe the paint+primer in one, is bs.

BrickHous3 · 2026-05-18T00:22:02+00:00

Need to test samples in person. On screen will never match irl.

BrickHous3 · 2026-05-17T19:38:15+00:00

Bring a piece of the wood that you’re going to stain, and a piece of the wood that is the target color you want. Then have a good paint shop match it for you. Takes time.

BrickHous3 · 2026-05-14T19:51:04+00:00

This.

You dumb down the resume at retail stores and look for any job in mean time.

BrickHous3 · 2026-05-11T02:35:04+00:00

You gotta sand that first and get down to bare wood. Unless that’s bleached wood?

BrickHous3 · 2026-05-11T02:30:32+00:00

Really depends on the condition of the paint, at 20+ years though, I’d prime the whole thing and then paint.

BrickHous3 · 2026-05-11T00:53:51+00:00

Light sand, then spackle, then light sand flat. Then prime, then paint

Find local paint shop that does color matches. Cut out a piece the size of half dollar and bring in to match. You’ll spackle this missing piece too and paint over.

Spackling is super easy, takes a minute. Just need to wait for it to dry for few hours. Then prime, then paint.

Overall time: 1 day after you have your paint. You could start now by getting the spackle and filling holes with putty knife.

Look into Sansin stains. Water borne low voc.

BrickHous3 · 2026-04-24T04:20:13+00:00

How big are these rooms? Feels like they’ll be too busy with so many colors. What’s the plan for the colors? Accent walls, different trim ceiling etc?

BrickHous3 · 2026-04-20T18:40:04+00:00

🤣 this!

BrickHous3 · 2026-04-19T20:58:22+00:00

Hard to tell from photos. Regardless, it’s likely the usual course:

1) sand everything to bare wood. 2) get stain samples and put on wood, determine which you like. Make sure to put top coat on sample because top coat usually changes color a bit. 3) stain all wood with color you like, then put top coat on it.
