Staining with paint?! How to white wash wood furniture with paint 

PLEASE NOTE: I didn't show me topcoating the piece - I was so excited to get this video up I forgot to add that segment! I did topcoat and recommend doing so for durability and longevity of the piece!

Beautiful work!

Love this finish! Great instructions! Thanks Kimberly

Thanks for sharing! I think this would be pretty on a desk I am working on.

This video was so helpful!! I'm just starting out and I was searching for tips on applying different finishes. So glad I found you!! Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

Thank you,Kim! I loveeee this signature look of yours. (So do your clients and other furniture artists!) I've seen your finished pieces both with a painted base as well as wood grain base using this technique of yours and its gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing. 💕

You are the best. Thanks for sharing this technique!

Stunning! Loving your video tutorials and gaining more confidence each time I view to try these techniques out for myself thank you!

Great technique! Love your tutes!

It looks amazing 🤩. Yes 🙌🏻 very helpfully

Thanks for sharing Kim.

Looks great! And I already love Algonquin. My sponge is coming tomorrow.

Thank you so much, it just looks amazing ❤️

Beautiful and I am certainly going to do this soon. I’ve done a white wash or gray wash but the blended look is cool!

Very good instructions. Thank you.

I’m so grateful you took the time & care to show us all this amazing finish! 🙏🏻Thank you so very much!!! I’m going to do this to the top of my Hepplewhite buffet cabinet that’s entirely painted in Champlain. I was going to do the faux wood stain technique as Fusion has shown with either cappuccino or driftwood (have both), for the entire piece but my husband said it wasn’t possible to give it a faux wood grain with all the detailing in the front with all the trim & cabinetry. So…I may do a wash with the two paints used in this demo for the front ‘cuz Champlain was just suppose to be an undercoat to my glaze & clashes with my artwork I have hanging above it (it’s kinda boring looking & looks a bit off in color). Im still on the fence what to do any insights would be appreciated. Oh, pls know I was totally captivated throughout this demo & the one you did using fusion stain as a glaze as well. I’ll be following you on all other social media channels & when I do this gorgeous technique like yours, I’ll shout it out to the world it’s all because of you. Btw…really enjoy all your demo videos. Such a service your providing to the diy furniture painting community & know your efforts are truly appreciated by many!

Always love your you tube videos!!

I love it ❤

Beautiful!! :)

Looks great! A lot I have seen look more like stripes and not blended enough- thank you!

I love it

I attempted this effect recently and it turned out pretty good but was a bit "stripy". I saw in a recent video where it looked like you were blending them. The video was about something else but I saw the blending process a little. So I did that a little bit, but I now see that the trick was to blend it a LOT more. I can't wait to try it again on my next piece. Great video. Thanks for posting it. I used Algonquin and Goddess Ashwagandha, and let me tell you it was hard to water down a discontinued color like that :) but it worked nicely.

I love this look! The light finishes are definitely growing in popularity lately. I’m wondering if this could be done over paint or primer, or if only on bare wood?

I just found this video and can't wait to try it. Are you applying each wash with a different brush? Thanks in advance!

Most helpful video! Do you happen to lightly mist the sponge before using it?

Hi, I love this wash. It’s beautiful! I just ran across your videos this weekend and wanted to ask if you started out painting most of your pieces using a brush or have you always used a sprayer? Thanks for the video, I’m learning so much!

Fantastic video, thanks for sharing this technique! Quick question, what grain do you sand to for this look? And do you do any light finishing sanding before topcoat?

I stained my table top with a latex wash from Minwax. My table top had some discoloration that came through the stain wash. Can I do this technique over that since I didn't seal it yet? I actually have FMP paint to use for this after watching this video. I just love your videos and your work. Very inspirational to those of us that are new to this.

so beautiful! Will this technique work on engineered wood? like a regular sanded ikea coffee table?

Love this look but I have a question. You use a different brush for each colour, but do you use a third brush to blend the two before the sponge? Thanks!

I love that look!! Do you dampen the sponge or just use it dry? I’m guessing dry but thought I would ask. Where do you get your sponges? Thanks for the video. Never get tired of watching and learning!

Have you done this on golden oak cabinets?

I have a cherry dresser that I sanded to bare wood. Do I have to use clear shellac before doing the wash or can I just seal when I'm completely finished?

I have an old oak table that I am trying to refinish and I have both colors for the table but how would I get the same look for the chairs ?

Just wondering if I was to attempt this on pine surface which has a few knots but I wanted to spot block the knots with BIN, would it show through?

Can this finish be put over a piece that has an espresso dark gel top? Would it have to be stripped first?

do you think this would be ok to do on a lightly sanded dark wood table? I'm doing a project for my sister and I won't be able to completely sand. Should I paint the top white first than wash? Thanks for your help!

Can I do that over a painted top?

Where do you purchase the Fusion Mineral Paints? Online or in store?

How do yo find the show notes?

Would this technique work on my oak kitchen table, and still be able to show the wood grain through?

So I attempted this finish and completely failed! Too streaky and not blended. So… can I sand it all off and start again?

Have you ever tried this finish on solid maple?

U shld jsuy mix the 2 paints together and add water
