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.
Hmmm...can't imagine where Luci would get a trait like "daredevil" or "adventurous"??!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
