How To Tan Wash Furniture

Today I’m showing you how I successfully complete my tan washes for my furniture pieces. Tan washing has become very popular lately and is always a big seller for me.

Thanks for bringing this color to the front. I now have direction on one of my projects. Previously stumped but have clarification now😊 Thank you so much.

[@restorereimagined]

Happy I could help in some way, good luck with your project! 😊

I love Algonquin, I’m starting a piece using Leichen and may do this on top.

Lovely!

Thank you!

Maravilloso

Do you need to condition the wood or no? Amazing job. I am stuck on a cabinet project and not sure if I can find fusion products near me, I'm on a time budget:(

[@restorereimagined]

Thank you! And no, I don’t condition the wood prior to avoid darkening my wash. You can use any tan paint you have on hand, Fusion is just my preferred choice!

[@vickyb9918]

Nice!! Have you tried heirloom traditions paint? Would love your take on it vs fusion. I’ve tried both.

[@restorereimagined]

I have tried HTP and honestly wasn’t a fan personally, I thought it was very thick and harder to work with than Fusion!

[@vickyb9918]

@@restorereimagined interesting. I like heirloom better. Thank you for the response

[@restorereimagined]

We all have a paint brand we like better than the rest, nothing wrong with that! You’re more than welcome for the response!

[@paulfrank2303]

Such a great lesson! May I ask please what clear finish you used?

[@restorereimagined]

I like to use Varathane brand, water based polyurethane!

[@aliasamw]

@@restorereimagined IDK if it's my computer, but the final looked warmer toned than the paint wash. Did the Varathane add the warmth do u think?

[@MarieLanghorn-tq2kt]

When you said 50/50 ratio.. do you mix 50 percent paint/water in the container? Plus use the water spray bottle?

[@restorereimagined]

Yes, that’s correct!

[@BxckroomsWxnderer]

Did you mix water into the paint can or just using the spray bottle to add water?

[@restorereimagined]

For this I just mixed it into my paint can since it was all but empty! The mister bottle helps to give more working time before drying.

You need to turn your camera.
