Faux Stain with Milk Paint | Whitewashed Dresser

This weeks project is a dresser that was graciously gifted to me by my neighbours. It had already been completely stripped of its original finish but then was abandoned in their garage for a few years. I really wanted to keep the look of the bare wood so I added a light wash of milk paint to even everything out and give the piece a translucent whitewashed effect.

So I wasn’t thrilled with the milk paint at first. Enter hemp oil and WOW I’m sold! Beautiful job, Katie!

[@dshey6802]

That is a beautiful piece of furniture.

[@johannaquinones7473]

Ok I am just binge watching at this point. Lovely piece!!

[@marciabradley7660]

I gave in and purchased an old desk and separated it to make bed side tables. My bed is in an alcove so the next best place to use them is in my bathroom on both sides of my pedestal sink. It’s a great place for towels and toiletries. Katie you are wonderful and I love your work. Can’t say enough about your taste and craftsmanship

[@ssa12654]

So gorgeous. Your finishes are so elegant and contemporary.

[@floief]

I love it. It's the same kind of dresser I had as a teenager in my bedroom. I remember learning how to apply makeup in the mirror......good times.

[@bdcooper93]

I literally cannot stop watching your videos! I'm in the process of moving and trying to decorate an entirely new space and your videos are majorly destressing me! This one is incredible!!

[@malgaa3655]

I am enjoying watching your Furniture makeover on this cold, gloomy winter day in Germany thinking of redoing a center table exactly the same way you did this piece of furniture, I love the look of it 💖

[@ritagold1034]

Omgosh Katie. ..I watch your channel all the time and I was looking for milk paint tutorials so this one popped up. I was given almost the exact same dresser. Even has the exact hardware. I love it so much. I just sanded off the finish and left it naked with all it's character. Yours looks beautiful. Yeah There was no way I was selling her. The woman who gave it to me said she thinks it's from the 1930's. Would you have any idea about that? Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I learn so much from your channel!

[@seanmorgan2356]

Ahhh, my new favorite wood finish!! So beautiful!

[@lorraineoliphant2023]

Loving your channel and the pieces you choose to restyle. Your choice of colours is fabulous. Love and good wishes from Port Elizabeth, South Africa. ❤️🇿🇦

[@kimberlydrake8654]

Since this finish is so on trend....I’m feeling happy I have not yet paint my hoard of furniture lol....love that look....thanks for sharing 😊k

[@airizarry12]

Hi there; I am thoroughly enjoying your videos. So many wonderful suggestions and advice.

[@amberhollo410]

It came out beautifully. Thanks for the natural products as well. My sister has MCS and regular products would destroy her. But the powder milk paint and hemp oil was very interesting.

[@jackieclark817]

Stunning! I get why you invested in that contour sander! I wouldn't part with this piece either! ❤️

[@janetpetter7963]

I’m so new at this and I didn’t know there were so many types of paint you could use to paint your furniture. Which is easier to use for a beginner chalk paint, milk paint or fusion mineral paint? I’m from Rosenberg, Tx so I’m not sure if you have Fusion Mineral paint. Did it take you a long time to learn all these different techniques? I’m so excited to learn to paint furniture. I love you professional beautiful work!

[@D-Dollie]
