Hi! Hope this helps!! Is there anything I need to do prior to white washing the wood? This is just another reason why I love whitewash paint. It can be watered down and since it’s a ceiling, it may not even need a top coat. Thank you so much, Sarah! Great question, Laura. I asked one of the employees at Sherwin Williams and he said definitely sand it first. The only problem is that chalk paint needs a top coat. A clearcoat? The paint absorbed into the wood pretty well and it was such varied wood that nicks and scratches probably wouldn’t have shown anyway. It’s beautiful! {here} […], […] Notebook It’s only 50 cents per square foot! Or did you just whitewash and leave it? It’s all trial and error until you find what you love. Or you could try the whitewash with a chalk paint. I have a number of them, and I don’t know how to finish them with the planking. Watch out, it really is rather addictive. For both homemade and store-bought products, stir the mixture thoroughly before using. Just remember that smooth and shiny is going to need some good, strong primer to make the paint adhere (and probably a light sanding or deglosser first would be a good idea, as well). We ran across a lot of new homes that had this link of flooring, or walls. It’s true that wasn’t our experience. Hope you have a wonderful day, too.
Whitewashing is addicting, isn’t it?!
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that. Good luck!
I think a whitewash would be perfect for lightening it up, but I’m not sure what to do to prep the wood. Pinning! I think you’ll be fine using latex (that’s what I used), but it still may take some experimentation before you land on something that won’t look yellow; that’s just the nature of pine. If that doesn’t work, try dry brushing: go ahead and water down your paint and then get only a tiny bit on a very dry brush. Have you had any luck taking ‘red’ stains’ down a notch or two with white wash? yes a stain needs bare wood to be able to absorb. amanda. We worked on it in pieces (because I wasn’t really supposed to be breathing too many paint fumes while pregnant! Do I need to do any sanding to get the glossy layer off? If I want to whitewash my outdoor deck, do I need to use different product since it needs to be water/weather proof?
You said you used acrylic paint but the link to the rustoleum is LATEX paint. I hope this helps and again, sorry for the slow reply! Every type of wood and varnish will take the paint a little differently. It is very old and I want to know if I can just white wash over it without any other pre step preparation? I want to paint new cedar ship lap and I am being told that I have to first prime with an oil base(?) I would love more ideas like this as well. Of course, Nicole! Now I need to whitewash too… hmmm…, Thank you so much, Heather!
if you want to white wash with paint, you don't need to strip. Love this, Rachel! I finally found something that I like so that I can fix this ugly paneling.
I hope this helps! I hope this helps! I would like to cut down as many steps as possible without compromising the look that I’m going for.
Thank you so much, Shirley! One thing is a lot of people I have talked to have a lot of concerns about painting / working with cedar because of the oils and how much it absorbs. You have to keep going until you love it... To help you reach the "love it" stage, here are some tips I found that helped.
Yes, I was able to do it all in one pass, but I did only 2-3 boards at a time. My stain was just stain – no poly, and I used a flat white latex. Just maybe give it another coat of wax every couple of years if necessary.
The other thing to remember, though, (especially if your paneling really is raw) is that if you change your mind later, you can always prime and paint over it. Thank you for inviting us in to glimpse your home. Hi Kaitlin, I’ve really enjoyed working with cedar. How long did this process take?
Now I just need to decide if I will run my planks horizontally or vertically. We used Varathane ® Ultimate Wood Stain in Sun Bleached and Varathane® Wood Grain Enhancer in White for a very subtle lime wash/white washed wood textured look on this console table that Dean built. I am assuming because this is latex paint you did not apply a topcoat or sealer of some sort…on either the ceiling or door. This particular technique will not likely work on faux wood paneling… but the long answer is that you can still definitely achieve a whitewashed look; it will just likely take a different process. Wow! I might have to give this a try! It offers texture and variations without having too much grain. Thank you so much, Suzanne! You are so welcome, Selene! Tip 3: Be careful at the ends of boards. They are adorable! (because who really has time for that?!).
I just want to whitewash my whole house ;p Awesome job. ananda.
