Antique White...

I wanted to show you a piece of furniture

that I finished this week...

I used white paint & gave it an antique

look with wood stain...

Before....

After...

Staining Method:

-Paint the dresser the base color {in this case it was white}

- Allow paint {I used semi-gloss} to dry completely

-Brush on the stain with a regular paint brush

-Wipe stain off with a damp cloth or paper towel 

-After wiping with a damp cloth wipe again with a dry cloth

-Continue wiping until you get your desired look

-Allow to dry & then you can seal the piece

I also changed the hardware out for

oil rubbed bronze to accent the antique look.

I love all the storage in this dresser & 

the placement of the drawers.. it's very unique.

The detail in the dresser made the staining technique

turn out great because the stain says in all of the

details crevices...

I love the way this dresser turned out & it's a great

alternative to your average white dresser.

I hope you are having a great week...

My week has been full of custom furniture orders

that I can't wait to show you.

Have you tried this staining technique yet?

How did you do it?

I would love to hear your way. 

Talk to you all soon...
