Whitewashing furniture is the focus of this EASY diy and will give you a similar look to limewashing. I just love the power of paint and how it can absolutely change the entire attitude of a room! Paint comes in all different types and there are enough techniques to write a massive paint encyclopedia on. Maybe there already is one? I can’t even bring myself to call this a tutorial…it’s that SIMPLE to do. Whitewashing a piece of furniture is not rocket science! I used this paint by RUSTOLEUM and they also have a CHALKED PAINT, but I’ve never used their brand. It has good reviews. Honestly that I’m not generally a fan of chalky paint, but I AM a fan of MILK PAINT and house paint. A whitewashed farm table is a beautiful thing and does not need to live on a farm!
