Appreciation post: My attempt at a limewash finish turned the wall a surprising pink
I followed a tutorial from a 2008 magazine and used hydrated lime from a local farm store, but after it dried overnight the whole accent wall had a definite pinkish tint instead of the soft white I wanted. I learned the hard way that the mineral content in your water can really mess with the chemical reaction. Has anyone in the Midwest had this happen and found a water filter that fixes it?

My buddy Nate in Indiana had his whole bathroom turn peach from the well water. He ended up getting a basic under-sink filter from the hardware store and it worked on the second try.
