Lime Wash & Specialty Finishes

Not every wall deserves the same treatment. Some rooms ask for depth, texture, and light that flat paint can't give them — and that's where two decades of artisan craft come in.

The visual differentiator

Surfaces with soul.

A specialty finish is the difference between a wall that's been painted and a wall you can't stop looking at. These are hand-laid, layered surfaces — no two exactly alike — that carry light and shadow across the day.

This is the work that makes a home feel considered. It's also the work most painters never learn to do.

Lime Wash

Soft, luminous, alive with light.

Lime wash settles into a wall rather than sitting on top of it, giving a soft, chalky, luminous surface with gentle movement and depth. It shifts subtly with the light — matte and cloudy in shade, glowing where the sun reaches.

Naturally breathable and mineral-based, it's as at home in a wine-country bath as it is in an entry or bedroom.

Italian Mineral Paint

Durable and breathable.

Imported mineral paints bond into the surface for a finish that's tough, washable, and remarkably long-lasting — while staying breathable, so walls release moisture instead of trapping it.

The result is a velvety, matte depth with the color richness only mineral pigments deliver. Beautiful to live with, and built to last.

Venetian Plaster

Polished, marble-like depth.

Built up in thin layers and burnished by hand, Venetian plaster produces a polished, marble-like surface with incredible depth — smooth to the touch, with light seeming to come from within the wall.

It's the most demanding finish we offer, and the most breathtaking. On a feature wall or an entire room, it turns a surface into the reason people stop and stare.

Faux Finishes & Hand Texturing

Effects built by hand.

Aged patinas, metallics, color washes, and custom textures — worked into the wall by hand to achieve a specific mood or echo an era. Each is developed with you and sampled before we commit to the room.

If you can picture it, there's a good chance we can build it in plaster and pigment.

Why choose Pucci

Techniques most painters can't offer.

For more than twenty years, we've studied and practiced the artisan finishes that turn walls into surfaces with character. Lime wash, mineral paint, Venetian plaster, and hand texturing take years to master — and they're the reason clients come to us for the rooms that matter most. These specialty finishes are what set Pucci apart from every other painter in wine country.
