How can I achieve this look?

hi Mary. This wall looks like it has been whitewashed. To achieve this look, mix together equal parts of water and white latex paint. Apply the whitewash with a brush or a rag. The beauty of this process is that you can apply more whitewash in desired areas or remove whitewash in other areas by simply wringing out your rag in clean water. Check out You Tube for step-by-step tutorials. Good luck Mary. I hope you are well.

HELLO,

Use a dry brush method with White Emulsion or Masonry Paint. Best wishes

Its hard to tell due to the lighting. The right side looks much lighter than the left. But it could be that it was first white washed and then some of it was wiped or washed off of the darker stones. Then they painted over rest of the stones with barely darker more peachy/yellow tint to go with the wood.

If you decide to try that I would leave a LOT more dark areas than you hope to actually end up with.

Here is another picture where it just looks whitewashed.

What about just using plaster?

You could white wash it

White washing would be better and would be easy to paint over again in the future. I agree that with German Schmear technique, you could be left with plaster or spackle that could flake off easy creating a mess. Not sure how they seal that. White wash:)

This one is a whitewashed fireplace using layers of chalk paint to get that worn and weathered look. Maybe it will help and chalk paint is very easy to use. http://erin-artandgardens.blogspot.com/2013/02/painted-stone-fireplace-before-and-after.html

I did some additional research for you, it looks like it may be a German smear which mimics the look of irregular stones and heavy mortar joints, a style often found on centuries-old cottages and castles throughout northern Germany. The technique is akin to whitewashing bricks, but instead of using diluted latex paint, homeowners coat the brick with a layer of wet mortar.

However, when it comes to the amount of time a German smear lasts, it is important to know that it is permanent. There is no changing your mind in a couple years and taking it down. But, if done correctly, a German smear looks awesome and will be something you can happily enjoy for years to come.

Go on wish online and look up faux stone panels, some are cool and others can be painted to custom look or home centers for a more durable product

If you want a German Schmear with less joint compound or mortar, use a wire brush and wet sponge to remove any excess and allow more stone to show through..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxdAPj8RXrA if you want a more yellowed tone, get a tube of tinting compound and add it very gradually to the mortar and mix til you achieve your desired color.

I will say the video of her adding the mortar to the grout lines was way to time consuming for me, I use a chemical glove and just shove it in there, or use a mason's grout bag (like using a pastry bag)

White paint and use sandpaper to make it look worn.

Doing some research on faux finishes will help you narrow down the type of technique you’re looking for. Try doing test pieces first so you can practice.

This plaster is called a German Smoar
