How to Whitewash Wood Furniture

How to easily whitewash sanded furniture for a natural look. Tone down orange or golden tones from coming through your top coat sealer. Add a simple paintwash after you sand you piece and before you apply your top coat to seal.
Tip: you can use any waterbased paint you like (besides chalk paint as I haven’t tested it) . Hardware store wall paint is also fine to use. I like to choose an off white or light tan, a colour that is close to the wood you are applying it to. But you really can’t go wrong!

This is so beautiful. You’ve inspired me to try this on a cabinet. Could I ask do you paint wash the inside of the drawers as well? Also do you sand before applying the sealant? Thank you 🙏😇

[@BlueWrenInteriors]

I’ll do inside the drawers depending on what they look like. If they are raw and I can sand them I will apply the paint wash to those too and seal. After the paint wash has dried I’ll do a quick hand sand with a 320-400 grit to smooth out the raised grain and then apply a waterbased top coat

[@kathleenvanhoof8056]

Beautiful piece!!! Is there anything special you would recommend when choosing the top coat? Are they water based as well? Have been following you for a long time on IG!!

[@BlueWrenInteriors]

On lighter wood pieces I generally choose something waterbased. A polyurethane or varnish in either a satin or matte sheen :)

[@roselovesmakeup]

What did you use for the paint wash what color it doesn’t say you have two choices fusion mineral paint and cathedral and Algonquin

[@BlueWrenInteriors]

I mixed both colours to make a light tan. However it’s hard to mess it up. Any light neutral or light tan colour is fine to use. :)

[@susanboyle9446]

What water based varnish do you use please?

[@BlueWrenInteriors]

I used a monocel brand from Bunnings for this one. Most brands are perfectly fine to use.

[@daytongroninger2410]

do you have to prime before you white wash?

[@BlueWrenInteriors]

No :)

[@d.b.2950]

Did you sand beforehand?

[@BlueWrenInteriors]

yep this piece was sanded to raw first
