It’s the exact color I’d like to paint my dated bedroom furniture.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Jessica, I don’t really have an exact ratio for this. You just want it wet enough that it doesn’t go on like paint. (thick and full coverage) You want it to be able to be wiped away somewhat easily, leaving a bit behind. If you can practice a bit on something to get a feel for how much water you need, that would be best! With that, I am planning to do a post on all things whitewashed and weathered. Keep a lookout for it as I plan to do it in the next month. (with video instructions) :)

Aw yes, I understand that! Not everyone has the same tastes and that’s okay! :) You are right, there have been a lot of these made, I’ve seen them. I do love my new mirror though! ;)

It looks like the popular grain sack material because of the texture and color. Thanks for the tips!

It seems like every blog I read, someone has made on out of something. Just not a look that gives me joy.
