Whitewashing Your Own Furniture

whitewash furniture has grown steadily in popularity over the years. It’s popularity is currently increasing pretty quickly and this is reflected in the quite steep prices that some people are charging. There are places that you can buy high quality white furniture such as beds and bedside tables for good a good price, but if you want to make your own here is how.

1.Firstly you need to take the item of furniture you want whitewashing and sand it down. A sanding block or electrical sander should be suitable to do this but you might need to strip it chemically if there is a thick build up of paint on the piece.You then need to clean the wood thoroughly to remove all dirt, dust and sawdust. wait for a while so that the item becomes touch dry

2.You then need to mix in a container, one parts water to two parts white latex paint. You’ll need a bowl of clean water to correct any mistakes you make and a 3″ brush. Using long sweeping strokes, brush over the wood following the grain. The watery paint has a habit of soaking into the wood quickly so you’ll need to go over area well.

3.When you have covered the piece completely and whilst it is still damp to the touch, wipe a cloth along the grain until it starts to show through again. This is give the wood a light stain look but if you want a deeper more expensive look, just repeat the previous steps as many times as you like, four should do it though.

4.When you achieve a look that you are happy with, give the wood another light sanding down to expose the grain and and then seal the wood using a satin clear polyurethane. Let it dry, give it a rub down with an abrasive nylon pad and repeat the process to achieve desired look. Use this method to create a great white wardrobes, bedside table or even dresser.
