White Wash it Yo

I know I have been doing a lot of white projects lately.  In my defense I am trying to do my store in mostly black and white and then adding splashes of color.  Lately that color has been aqua... I think I might start adding some coral in as well:)



Instead of just spraying this guy solid white I decided to do a white wash.  It's actually a really easy process.  Just add a little bit of water to your white paint and start painting.  Just make sure you do long strokes so it doesn't get all splotchy.  Have a towel ready so you can wipe it off when you get a little too much.

Then get the sander out and have at it!




It's kind of a fun twist on the white furniture.  Hope you have a happy day!

P.S.  My child is a complete dare devil.

  2. I didn't realize white washing was so easy to do! I have admired this finish on a lot of shabby chic furniture but have not attempted it yet. Your little cupboard looks fantastic!
