I had some clients of mine come to me with a challenge.
"Can you give this buffet the 'Arhaus' look?"
They provided this picture from one of the company's catalogs and pointed out that it was the Earl Grey finish on the table that they wanted to recreate.
It's not easy to reverse-engineer a finish for a piece of furniture but I was willing to give it a shot.
I've worked on some pieces in the past where I had used a similar technique.I first had to take off the slick, orange finish that the buffet was currently wearing.
After removing the door and drawers, I sanded the whole piece down to the raw wood. The original finish didn't put up too much of a fight and I was able to able to get the whole piece sanded in an afternoon.
Thank goodness!
After cleaning away the dust I started to think up a strategy to get the weathered look.
I started with watering down some Valspar Belgian White paint.
2 parts paint, 1 part water. I haphazardly brushed the paint mixture on, leaving it on for about a minute and then wiping it away with a damp rag. I did 3 coats of this technique until I got my desired look.
After letting the layered white wash dry over night it was then time to add a stain combination.
I consulted my stain stash and I chose Minwax's Classic Gray and Jacobean to layer on. I also add weather oak to the mix just incase.
Using some latex gloves to protect my hands, I applied the first coat of stain with foam brushes and then wiping it off with a clean rag.
I started with classic gray and decided against using Jacobean because I felt like it had a little too much red in it. I choose to use weathered oak instead to enhance the gray.
The was still too much of the orange from the raw oak showing through and we need to darken the grain of the wood.
I thought maybe a black stain would help to combat the warmth but I was fresh out!
My solution was to cut a little bit of black paint with some water, brush it on and wipe it away with a damp cloth ASAP.
I decided to apply the mixture to the whole piece.
Brushing it on and using a damp cloth to wiping it off after a few seconds was key to keeping the paint from saturating the entire piece.
Finally I just had to stop and walk away.
There is such a thing as over-working something and a project like this could easily get away from me.
I let it sit over night before completing the final touches and the last thing to apply before adding hardware was a top coat.
I like to use Minwax's water based polycrylic protective finish in clear matte for almost everything I work on and this project was no exception.
All it needed was a thin coat.
After letting it dry it was time to add hardware.
I tried using what the buffet came with originally but the client wanted to mix it up and we decided to try painting the hardware black.
I didn't want the black to look too new so I did a light mist of an age bronze spray paint on top.
I styled the piece with some ironstone mixing bowls and an old bull horn.
This piece has a lot of structural detail already and could easily be over-styled if I add much more.
I had the chance to try to re-create the Arhaus 'Earl Grey' finish and it might not be perfect but I think I got pretty close.
The hardest part of this whole project was finding the right combination of paint and stains to toning down the natural orange-i-ness of the oak.
I was hoping to achieve the look with less product (paint, 2 different stains, more paint) but I'm okay with where we ended up.

I love the simple explanations and video footage. I especially love the results and will try to update my living room furniture this way. Instantly subscribed too!
Love this and all your techniques are so easy to follow and not cost prohibitive. I am going to try this on a table I am getting tomorrow to flip. Very nice!
Awesome Amanda!! This look is so upscale. Thank 😊you for sharing.
Absolutely love it! Great job Amanda! 👏
Absolutely beautiful. Many thanks for your generosity sharing your knowledge. Be blessed.
I’ve watched hours of videos trying to find what to do with my golden oak kitchen cabinets. I want a white on white that shows off the oak wood grain, but needs to have a durable finish that will hold up to cleaning of pasta sauce, greasy residue, and take stray water sprinkles and steam. THIS. I’m going to do this. Thanks so much for the inspiration. I’ll just stick with light tan and white paint and stain colors and follow with min wax polycrylic. Excellent video, both for content and for making it so watchable. Thanks!!
Love the look!-and simplicity of instructions. Very well explained!
I was so happy to learn this painting style with you.
Great vid! I stained my piece before applying wash and it came out fab also!
You did a great job matching the color to the inspiration piece
U r brilliant, Amanda! Stunning work!
So beautiful. This is what I've been looking for to finish a barn door. Thank you! Enjoyed your video. I love that there's not a lot of tools involved.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Chandra Lopez hello. You just gave me an idea for my closet door. That is behind my bed. I couldn't think of a colour and its been few years now 😀
Fantastic video! Absolutely in love with the finish you achieved. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much!
Ok after watching your channel now I feel comfortable to paint my cabinets.
Nice job Amanda!! Looks amazing!
I’m impressed! That is beautiful and I thank you for sharing your very detailed technique. I’m going to do that . So beautiful!!!i am subbing to your channel. You just popped up in my feed and I’m so glad chance brought your talented little self my way!!!
Beautiful job you nailed it perfectly! And... Love,love ❤️ your Shofar!
So gorgeous. I learned a lot. I'm trying to whitewash a dresser, but I like the grayish look. Thanks.
Absolutely one of the best work projects I’ve seen , very detailed and noticeable of your work and appreciation of what you do 🍻🇨🇦
Thank you Tom!
That turned out so pretty!! Love the color!! Great job girl!!! ❤️👍🏻
Hello Angie. How are you doing?
I love getting the notification from UA-cam when you’ve uploaded a video- it always makes my night better!
JAKE! WE LOVE YOU MORE
Amanda Freed Homes ❤️
What I love best is the clothes and shoes you paint in because I thought I was the only one to wear such attire. I mean you gotta be comfortable when you're painting. Flannel pjs and slippers or boat shoes are just da best for painting in!
Hahahahaha! I just can't keep getting paint on my nice stuff. I've ruined some good shoes & pants!
@@amandasmercantile so many nice things I've ruined just trying to quickly touch something up before heading out the door or in the middle of doing something else....
You nailed the color!
Looks like a factory finish. Super job!!
Absolutely beautiful great job 👏👏👏👏👏
I learned so much from you! And yes I noticed your haircut
Gorgeous! Love it! Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much for watching!
I do mine a little differently but glad I watched yours as a Furniture painter I always love learning new finishes and being able to recreate finishes that most can't. It gives you an edge over the competition over the chalk paint everything Furniture painters. Lol not everything needs to be chalk painted. 😂
Are people still painting with chalk paint?? Hahaha jk jk. Thank you ma'am!
I accidentally landed on your video. You are fun to watch artist. Love your work. Cant wait to watch rest of your videos. ❤️
Thank you so much! I'll be working to get more makeover videos out asap.
Love it!!!
Oh my gosh! Love this!
Lovely, great job!
How did your clients like it? It is exquisite in the complexity of color and grain contrast you were able to achieve. Bravo!
Love your style! Greetings from the UK! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi, I liked how you matched up that buffet so well with the dining room table and chairs. I was wondering, what type of brush do you use?
Beautiful. The oak grain really pops. Do you apply the stains in equal amounts over the whole surface? Or do you intermix them? How long between the different stains do you wait to apply the next color stain? Thank you!
Great footage, great editing, great technique and results. This is an underrated channel!
Much appreciated!
Agree. Just discovered it and I think it is definitely flying under the UA-cam algorithm radar at the moment
I love this did you do any sanding in between coats, or after?
You did an amazing job, love love love it!!! - Vanessa
Thank you so much Vanessa! I really appreciate it!
Beautiful! Love it, great video so fun!
Thank you Teri!
Looks fantastic
This is my 4th time watching this video! Im doing the same technique to my Lillian August table! Hope all goes well!
Good luck!!
Really great .. gonna try it on my pine tall dresser 😊
Just now seeing this!! Wow no spills and no drop cloth. I would have it all over me lol. Love this finish ❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏
Beautiful! I am going to try this on a table I am flipping, great tutorial :)
Thank you! I hope it goes well
Nicely Done, like your hair and eye shadow...stay safe and warm...
What finish would you put on the top of this for a dining table ? I love the look, maybe change the base to grey.
Love love!!!
I love it. ❤
I love this look. I want to get that grayish color on some red seader I have had in my house forever, but I'm scared that the red will bleed through from the seader on whatever I decide. Do you think that this would work, or do you think I need to find something that I can do over a primer or like a kilz ?
Beautiful!
I love that look! I was wondering if you would have any advice for me. The store I just bought has a façade wood fence on the wall. They painted it black! It looks horrid! I would like to get a white washed look like the light gray white washed look but I don’t know what to do for a base. What would you do over the black initially? Thanks for any advice.
Great job, looks so good :-)
Hi , great job ! Would you use the same sealer on a dining table ?
I love how you did that dresser. I have one. I have a whole bedroom set that I might just try that on. It's pretty and you did a good job on it. This doesn't have the mark on it, but I know when you're doing a lot of antiquing. I've watched almost every one of your videos. What is that little stamp that's on the bottom of the jar of the glassware that you buy cuz I noticed you like to buy the stuff that has that little stamp. What is that stamp mean?
I have been doing this finish for years . I use really watered down black paint too .
That's another great way to do it!
Beautiful job. Great video and narrative. What was your clients' response?
Gorgeous !!!!!
I still have trouble understanding the antiquing technics. I’m a perfectionist so whenever I see stain not stick to the wood I just want to give up and start all over! Lol this was a great video and shows there’s no right or wrong way of doing it. But obviously u know what your doing! Loved your technic by the way. 👍
Absolutely gorgeous the draws are nice to
Bellísimo! It looks awesome! 👌💃🏻
Grazie amico mio!
Turned out gorgeous.
Thank you Rosemary!
Awesome tutorial. I got the Arhaus look by purchasing the sample table you showed (the price tag, aggg!) but it is stunning
Hello Lindy. How are you doing?
I like it it looks very good
Also, was the last coat of black paint watered down too??
Beautiful! You're so funny!
Love it
what type of paint do you use for this? I want to do a kitchen table. Do I need to put something over it when it is done to be able to wash the table off each day?
I love it! I will try it in a piece I just but in a thrift store. If I apply this to a dining table, do you recommend adding something extra to protect the surface? you know tables can be very messy... Thanks!
Thank you Veronica! For a table top would recommend maybe doing at least 2 coats of the Protective for a little extra protection if not 3.
Looks great! I would have a hard time parting with that piece, but you absolutely killed me painting without a drop cloth on those beautiful floors, I would have runined them and had a husband mad for sure!! LOL Great information and glad your mouth is better.
Hello Debbie. How are you doing?
Love your work, would you mind listing the products you use ?
That piece of furniture ROCKS. It looks like it's from Pottery Barn. 😊
stunning
Super, super NICE!!!!
I seriously need to up my fashion game!
Great job! I want to try this! 🌺
Please do! Hope it goes well!
This is the way I'm doing mine how funny , i wish i could send a pic. I love this color myself ,I'm using weathered gray.
Looks great!
Thank you Tammie!
Great job
Gorgeous!!
Thank you!
I love it!!!!
Thank you so much Peggy! I hope it was fun to watch the makeover ❤️
Great video! I’m wondering if someone could make the grain more pronounced by using a dark stain first then sanding it so it’s removed from the high spots. The proceed with white paint etc as you did
I saw it done on another video and might attempt to do it that way
Would this technique work with different colors? I want something similar, but more honey/gold/dark brown....?
Hokie Nation!!! Nice work!! Better hoodie!! I’m watching you from Albuquerque, NM. I grew up in Salem, VA
Too funny. I live in Salem too.
What type of paint do you use for the whitewash?
Gorgeous!
Thank you Mary!
Beautiful
Beautiful! ❤
Thank you! 😊
Ok this is probably a weird comment and totally off topic 🙄 I love the music you used especially the second or last part where it sounds like an old-fashioned shopping spree, music or something :-) can you tell me the name of it? it is so fun and happy… It would be great also for a road trip video.
You did a fantastic job with this and so kind of you to share all the details and also glad you went to the dentist… They used to work in dentistry and an infected tooth is nothing to mess with 🤗
Thanks for the info on doing the refinish. You start with watered down paint then move onto stain. Are those oil based stains and then you are covering over with a water based paint. If so do you have to wait a certain amount of time before the stains can cure? Thanks :) Sorry not a fan of the music
How did you sand it? It looks amazing!
My coffee table also has has so many grooves and rounded corners?
Please help I’m new to this...
Hello Carysa. How are you doing?
It looks fantastic. That was a lot of coats of stain! I do think it would look better with just about any other hardware.
Wow, beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your technique! Love the whimsical, inspiring, and magical background music too! (Was that last one from 'Bewitched'?) Anyway, awesome!!
I don't think so but it does sound like it would be! Thank you Lee!
Wow, great video, have some pieces, will definitely try this technique. Was wondering how did you prep, did you strip & sand?
I like the finished product, but I’m not accomplished enough to try! Nice job!
Thank you so much Cynthia! If I can do it, you can do it! Try out/practice on a test on a raw piece of wood
BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU... A LOOK I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THAT LOOK. 😃
Hello Lydia. How are you doing?
LOOKS VERY NICE
Thank you Lydia!
Did u apply black paint over stain?? Does that stay??
Brava Amanda!
thank you!
Looks awsome going to do my table
Awesome! I really hope this info helps
