What about for making maple look more like white oak? Any suggestions?
I love your finishes! You are so talented! I love your daughter’s personality! She’s adorable! My daughter is almost 4, I think they’re around the same age. Your videos are really helping me furnish my house with beautiful furniture refinished by yours truly. Can’t thank you enough
It looks amazing!!! I did this technique with a wicker lamp using milk paint, it evened everything out. Love this look.
So pretty and refreshed and modern looking! I use a foam to apply water based polyurethane... This brush looks amazing! And the deck brush is so useful on large surfaces! Thanks so much for sharing
Quedó divina!!! Me encanta cómo quedan los muebles con ésta técnica.
Thank you for sharing the brush. I appreciate hearing about the paint wash.
I used myself light gray and it looked fantastic.
Exciting news about your newsletter and e-book! A new "chapter" in your blossoming career, I hope your sparkling personality comes through in print, big fan, Im rooting for you!
That is stunning!
I apply poly with a roller. Scuff sand, wipe and apply a second coat. For dresser/table tops, etc. I add a coat of wax once poly is dry. Gives it another layer of moisture protection as a lot of folks don’t use coasters.
Great information! I've been working for months on a buffet from the 40's or 50's that's made with a type of wood I've never seen before. Stripped, sanded to within an inch of it's life, treated 3x with oxcallic acid, and it's still a rust color. It's also super soft and dings practically by looking at it! To say its been a challenge is putting it mildly. I want to wash the top and have tried at least 4 colors, all of which dont seem mask the rust/orange. Maybe Harvest Brown is the trick!!
Congratulations on your book!!!!!
What a sweet lady you are❤️. Such kind words!
I’m working on an old beat up pine dresser and will be doing tan wash and your layered stain technique for a rustic look. I used that on a writing desk and it sold in two days!
Congratulations on your book!
I have some oak pieces my stepfather made back in the 90's that I would LOVE to try this on. Thanks so much!
I just stripped an old coffee table that I've upcycled as my kitchen island top ... and found the wood was way too orange for my taste. I was thinking of white-washing it. Thanks for the demo! (I also found the same brush and was using that to apply the stripper yesterday. A 3" brush sure makes quick work of the job!)
Can’t wait to get a Deck Brush!!! ❤
Great job on the wash!
Beautiful!
I love this. Thank you for sharing
Ive been looking for a good color to cover orange! Thanks!
I love your videos, they are a piece of your life withe your tiny assistant and your doggo ! Like the wash on this furniture, might use it on my piece here. 👍😎🐕🦺🐈⬛
I’m Definitely going to do this . The big brush would be so much quicker to add the wash 👍thank you for sharing 😊
Love it!
Love this. ❤
Love how you laugh at yourself about cleaning!😂
Love this taupe wash. I have a cabinet I may try that on. As far as brushes go for sealing furniture, I actually use a staining pad. It’s the size of a sponge and there are zero brush marks. It gives great coverage and I just find it’s better than other things I’ve tried. A deck staining pad works great also. 😊
Do you use a pad to apply the poly?
@@ariadnamaloney9273 Yes, I use the staining pads to apply the poly. It honestly works so well and allows you to get around corners, into crevices, etc. without brush strokes. I’m so particular about having a smooth surface and these work great. Try on a small piece of furniture first just to get the hang of it. I really think you’ll be glad you did.
@@1widener thank you so much, you are a life saver, I usually use only wax because so far I hate the finish I get with poly, I’ll try the pad next time, I really appreciate your generosity, have a beautiful day.
Congratulations!! I signed up! Can't wait!
Yay 🖤
Wow that deck staining brush was a real game changer!!
Turned out sooo nice. Sometimes when I sand down to raw wood and put a wash I get bleed thru. Has this ever happened to you and what did you do?
Beautiful!!! I am new to refinishing furniture. What would be the best sealer/top coat for a dining room table?
I LOVE this!!! I have maple kitchen cabinets with a honey finish and I’m wanting this same look would recommend I do this same technique or should I do the gel stain since the wood grain is way different?
You need to do the drawer sides if not all the insides too. Just looking at it as if I was thinking of buying it.
Can you do this on maple kitchen cabinets?
Beautiful !! Can you share the color of that dresser in the background? Lol it’s gorgeous I love it
Love all if your work and videos! Thank you so much. Just wondering some tan wash instructions say to leave on for 30 seconds or so and then wipe off... what is the difference? Thanks!
Someone questioned about doing kitchen cabinets. Do you need to strip them first? I have those horrible “honey” oak but they are really orange. Just put up new tile backsplash and they really look orange now. Suggestions?
Hello! I love how this piece turned out! I’m curious if you refinish the interior of the piece ever. I notice with the drawers open, the orange is very noticeable. Thoughts?
Have you tried the Nail Polish Remover method? You carefully pour on, spread with scraper, just wait 1 min, scrape & leave debris to dry into crispy chips you can just brush into trash. No gloppy mess. Work in sections since it works quickly. Save a pointed tip from like hair color squeeze bottle (or use the whole bottle& tip from beauty store), those work great for applying.
Acetone is BOMB
Hello! I want to do this for a bathroom vanity and a dining table. Is there something I should put over the mini wax poly acrylic to make it more durable/water resistant ?
White washed or “pickle” washed an antique white oak bureau. Came out a pale pink.....sweet!
love this video, so helpful! Quick question - Would this work on veneer?? Or would the water cause veneer to lift?
Have you used this on a walnut veneer?
Thanks for sharing this great technique! Couple questions if you get a chance to reply... Do you ever apply a second coat or is one usually enough? With such a high amount of water the wood grain must get raised, especially with softer woods; how do you deal with this issue?
I just started painting furniture. I painted my first piece all black because my white wash got patchy. My second piece I did the wash with ratio just like you and I will never do it any other way, wow so easy! 🥰
How long do you wait until you apply a top coat?
Could I apply via spraying with a graco paint sprayer?
Hello just found your channel and have a question for you. Recently we decided to remove carpet from our stairs going to basement. As we pulled off the carpet I noticed painted stair nose and thought the treads are solid wood which later after they were off noticed stair treads are particle board 😢 and can’t be refinished. My question is our floor is the color of the cabinet you are redoing here what color of base paint you would would choose after priming. Thank you so much.
can you do this and still stain it afterwards? i'm trying to get my wood lighter so that i can get the look i want with gray stain and no matter what i try i can't get there and it's bc of the yellow in the ash wood.
How can I get this look with a coffee table that I’ve put primer on? It’s beautiful and I’m keeping it, but I want this look for it. I had to primer it because there was to much damage.
Love this color! Has anyone tried this on kitchen cabinets?! I have the orange oak cabinets and would love to get them to this color.
I have the same question
Would love to try this technique on the oak kitchen cabinets
Bought all the ingredients, going to attempt to re-do 2 cabinets in the laundry room to test it out
Do you wipe the tan wash off like you would a stain or you just let it dry completely after application?
i have 30yr old bedroom furniture that has a lovely medium brown stain. Do I have to strip that before using this technique or could I simply wash the wood thoroughly?
Wow! I certainly can't argue with your results! Very nice! Have you ever tried this with oil based paint thinned with mineral spirits or paint thinner? I'm looking for something to tone down the orange in pine before applying a stain over the top, and I'd like it to be more durable than a water-based paint.
You can totally use oil based and now they even have stains in these on trend colors bc it’s become so in demand
@@blacksheephouse What type of paint did you use for the video? latex? or acrylic? does it matter?
Argh just tanned wash and it’s toooo painted, do you think I could sand some off?
Does anyone know what TYPE of paint this is? latex? acrylic? oil-based? Or, in general, what type of paint works best for this process? Thanks
I found fluffy but firm brushes at Dollar Tree! The book is great because inevitably the issue I’ll come across is something you addressed but I can remember exactly what you said or what video you said it in, the book will be a handy reference.
I think you meant “inevitably”. 😉
Ack, dictating without my readers on...when will I learn 😄@@pamleonard7330
What brand of harvest brown?
I love the tone of the wash. Beautiful! Question, since the wash is mostly water does it raise the grain?
Yes, you are correct. Water will always raise fibers in wood. Before applying top coat, you must de-nib the surface of the raised fibers. Use 220 or higher grit sandpaper and lightly go over the surface. Wipe clean to remove all dust and then proceed with your top coat.
Looking forward to your book!
I’m so glad to hear that! 🖤
How much paint vs water ?
Hi I do not speak Spanish. In my country there are no such paint brands. Neither Behr, nor glidden. Could you specify some things for me?
Is it water based paint?
Isn't it chalk paint?
Is it paint for interior wood?
Is it polyurethane lacquer?
Sorry for so many questions and thanks for the video.
Do you have to strip before doing this technique if the wood is just clear stained? I'm trying to tone down the orange on a ton of kitchen cabinets and trying to find away to do this without stripper cause a lot of it I'll habe to do inside 🥴
I did my kitchen cabinets whiteout striping. They were oak orange cabinets but because the oak grain it’s so big it bleed inside the oak. I used light gray and it became a little bit transparent. It looks fantastic. Try with an old piece of oak or inside the cabinet.
We have a red oak table we made 30 years ago. It is a great big table. 45"x72". When we made it we put polyurethane on it so it has gotten orangey looking. We would like to get this white washed look without making too pink looking. We also have a problem with the polyurethane that was used on it.. We have sanded some test areas and tried some tinted oils and stains. It is not penetrating the surface evenly. Can you suggest anything that we might try to neutralize the effects of the polyurethane?
Many Thanks
Did you use a stripper and then a stripper wash? If the poly is not removed, then stain cannot penetrate the poly to get into the wood evenly. You can try a gel stain, which sits on the surface, rather than soaking into the wood.
Confused? Semi gloss watered down? Is this correct? I thought you could not water down with semi gloss?
Does anyone know how to get steal wool stains out of wood. I used it with my mineral spirits and now I have grey stains?😢
I love putting a taupe wash on oak, but 1 part paint to 12 parts water 😮? Wow. I’ve been using 1 part paint to 2 parts water. Maybe if I use the color you suggest..?
Right?! I know, it does sound extreme but I’ve done that more equal ratio too and others but this one I don’t have to pre wet the surface or wipe away excess and I can just keep brushing amd blending, but my wood is thirsty after all the stripping and sanding so I feel like it just drinks it up 😂
And yes you are right it is a darker tan color so that may be part of it too
I’m a dope- it didn’t even occur to me that you weren’t wiping off the excess! Thank you for yet another suggestion that I have to try soon!
do you seal the wood afterwards or wax it? The water mix will dry out the wood if leave untreated?
She used a water based poly
Hi! Did the wash raise the grain? Did you sand before poly? Congrats on the book. I will def buy it!
It does raise the grain, I sand after Poly and it’s silky smooth!
U sand AFTER the poly?? What gritt do u use?
Is the book skated for 2024 Sept or?
Did you already have the piece sanded? I looks like it. I’m just curious. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to do this on older pieces in good condition, with top coat intact, but just too orange. Have you ever tried it on a piece with a top coat? Curious if it would work, or just push the paint wash around.
What is the harvest brown paint please.
Behr
Do you think this work on orange oak kitchen cabinets?
Yes but you have to streep to wood ,i think
Cabinets get a lot of use. Better products. There are cabinet painting groups that could help you. For a wash you must be down to bare wood and it would need more topcoat.
Absolutely. Use a good sealer that’s satin or semigloss so you can clean them easily. You could even use less parts ways as well. Definitely have to sand to bare wood. That’s key.
I am not seeing you wipe it back. Are you doing this? Lovely look!
You are right, I’m not wiping away any, just blending until it all looks smooth and uniform
What’s the name of the paint color again?
Harvest brown by Behr
What is the exact pain you used? I want to try this
Harvest brown by Behr - sample size
Hmmm how to make it not so pale but still not as orange. The way you did it looks nice but too pale for me.
do you recommend this for a cherry dresser?
Definitely 👍 depending how red/pink it is you may have to bleach first though. Just paint regular bleach onto it and let it sit in the sun for a bit and then you can tan wash after
@@blacksheephouse I went for it! My very first piece and I am so proud! Sure there are a few hiccups...but I don't think anyone will know but me...and I love it! Do you have a link for a similar hardware?
Do you ever use a soda blaster to get to the raw wood faster and easier? Ive sanded the finish to raw wood but its just so time intensive...beautiful but so much time.
I’ve tried using the soda blaster but it didn’t work for me. I bought the machine and medium from Harbor Freight. I think the soda is too fine.
Tried this color paint on sanded down raw wood, however after brushing the oil based sealer, the color comes off a bit? It looks patchy for sure… would you happen to know why? Or where I did wrong?
She used a water based poly. I’m ready to follow this technique and I had oil based poly on hand, but now I’ll be sure to use water based.
Do you have a link to purchase the deck stain brush?
Hey! sure thing, amzn.to/3qxiZZ9
Thanks love!
@@blacksheephousehi hun, the link is for a 2” Bristol brush. I would like to try that huge brush your using lol.
@@blacksheephousehey nevermind, I found the link on your Amazon shop!
By the way you have a great list!
Curious as to why you used a semi gloss
The wood on this particular dresser was really dry and absorbing a lot so I went with that but usually I use matte or satin
@@blacksheephouse thank you for replying 🙂
@@blacksheephouse one more question if you dont mind. I don't see you wiping off at all during the video. Do you not wipe?
Did you really use SEMI GLOSS and not FLAT or eggshell?
I was wondering this too !!!!
I didn’t hear back so I went ahead and purchased semi gloss; I’ll let you know how it goes:)
You REALLY never removed the drawers to do the edges of the drawers and and stiles and rails of the face frame ?
I don't understand leaving the drawers in when working on them. Take them out and put front side up. Much less likely to run..
