- 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!

Absolutely stunning! Thank you.
Be still my heart. That is the most beautiful sideboard I’ve ever seen. I’m speaking of the design but doing the wash , like I said , be still my heart. I’m falling in love with a wash. Thank you so much in sharing your technique at how to make a wash.
♥️♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟
Might be a bit of a job sanding, but my goodness it came out really Beautifully!❤! Thank you for sharing your tips too 🌻
Chalk paint works fabulously!
Love that lighter finish. I have a very orange coffee table that I’d love to refinish in that beautiful soft natural tone. The top is a parquetry finish which I think is veneer on MDF. It’ll be my first attempt and not sure where to start but thinking I’d need to use a stripping compound rather than sanding the finish off? Finding your videos very informative and I’ll definitely be using them as a guide. Love your work. 😊
Oh my, she’s gorgeous!! ❤
it truned out gorgeous!
Can you touch base on how you seal it? I feel confident doing the white wash but how to I seal it properly?
1 C of water is actually 16 TBS 🙏 but your project ratio turned out beautiful! Thank you
This is so beautiful

Hi Ashley, this piece turned out absolutely beautiful, as has all of your other videoed projects. My question is: it seems your specialty is working with real wood, but have you restored or stained any projects that have been made with plywood?
I have added floating shelves (in my LR) that are made from birch plywood and I’m ready to stain them, but need some advice. The natural grain and color of the plywood is really pretty so I could use a natural stain and seal them However, most of my finishes in the room are the greyish/beigish taupe color. Any suggestions?
❤❤❤❤
Will it work on cherry?
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 🙏😇
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
What water based varnish do you use please?
I used a monocel brand from Bunnings for this one. Most brands are perfectly fine to use.
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!!
On lighter wood pieces I generally choose something waterbased. A polyurethane or varnish in either a satin or matte sheen :)
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
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. :)
do you have to prime before you white wash?
No :)
Did you sand beforehand?
yep this piece was sanded to raw first
Any advice/tips on best way to sand to get a good result?
