Although it’s not the color you imagined, that gray is very popular and I think it’s gonna sell an appeal to a lot of people. We’re currently househunting and so many homes have gone to the Gray tones. Congratulations, great job and you overcame some big obstacles.!

Beautiful! Modern! Fresh! Elegant! The wood grain on this dresser is gorgeous! I like the bleached look, your original idea. It doesn't look too grey but I would have preferred a bit more beige wash. The handles you chose are amazing! Thanks so much for sharing

I’m glad you were able to switch gears. It did turn out beautiful! That being said, I would really have liked to see the beautiful wood grain. I’m a big fan of using Odies oil to bring out that luster. I think it would have worked after you bleached it. You can still see a bit of it with the paint wash & I think that adds the right touch of character! The hardware was a perfect addition! Great job! 🦋

@aliferefurbished 4 ай бұрын

@@tristavalentour7575 Thank you! One day in the near future I’ll try Odies oil. When you’ve used a product that you trust it will protect your piece for a long time it’s hard to switch gears but I’ve heard great things about it so I’m sure I’ll try it sometime.

I did this same thing and felt my result was blah gray as well. Almost identical to your result. Next time I’m using a more diluted wash. If more wood grain had shown through that would have been more color. I did not bleach my piece first.

The end result is really pretty! 😍 I've had the same problem with that shellac in the can. It's because it has wax in it. The spray shellac doesn't have wax. There's a shellac sanding sealer in a red can that has been dewaxed, but it can be hard to find. I've only found it on Amazon. Same brand.

The marks on top are both water marks, not burn mark, you can't bleach a burn marks. The lighter mark is water in the finish, the dark mark is water that went through the finish into the wood 😊 It turned out gorgeous 😍

@aliferefurbished 5 ай бұрын

It definitely looked burnt “with a scratched up looked” around the ring mark. But, I could be wrong. And yes, I wasn’t expecting the bleach to completely remove it, as the marks from a burn are not stain, but the bleach helped enough so I didn’t need to use heat to get rid of them. Thank you!
