Color Atelier (Limewash)
I'm absolutely in love with limewash, and here's why – it's made from limestone, one of Earth's purest materials. What most people don't realize is that its naturally high pH actually creates an antibacterial environment in your home. The subtle, movement-rich texture it creates feels like bringing a piece of ancient European architecture right into your space.

I've noticed an immediate difference in how the air feels in rooms painted with quality water-based options.

For my chemically sensitive clients or those with young children, zero-VOC is non-negotiable. While these paints might require an extra coat or two, the peace of mind is priceless.

Ecos Paint is leading the way in zero-VOC options, providing an extensive range of Earth-inspired hues.

As one of the only Cradle to Cradle Certified® paints in North America, their breathable, alkaline formula naturally prevents mold growth without toxic additives – perfect for families seeking both purity and performance.
