Unveiled.

Finally! After perfecting the staining, distressing just in the right spots, and encountering a few problems with the Polyurethane, it’s finally just how we want it.

I’m completely in love!! See my unique staining steps below.

I used Minwax Jacobean and Minwax Whitewash Pickling.

Apply the Jacobean, WHILE STILL WET go over it with the Whitewash, blending the two colors. Because you have to blend the colors while wet, it’s best to work in smaller, more manageable sections. Blend as much or as little as you like to get the look your going for. If its too light, just add more Jacobean, and vice versa. Go back and forth dipping your brush until its perfect, do not actually mix the two stains
together. I pour a little of each stain into separate cups so I don’t ruin the whole can of stain. We finished with a satin polyurethane (optional), which didn’t dry in our humid weather so we ended up using mineral spirit to thin it out and help the drying process. Hope you love it as much as we do!
