Lime washing, or white washing is a technique that has been used for many years, initially to protect wood and more recently to make wood look weathered and bleached. A really effective way of breathing new life into an old wood floor, lime or white washing creates a nice, light coloured grain in wood. Although lime washed wood flooring at one time was the only option for poor people, who couldn’t afford paint, it’s now seen as a stylish and highly appealing option, particularly when applied to flooring. - https://www.woodandbeyond.com/blog/what-is-lime-washed-wood-...
