In this video, I'm attempting to get a bleach wood look without using bleach. I'll be using a chalk paint wash to achieve a bleach wood look on a dark end table from Cost Plus World Market.

I LOVE this!!! I just redid my dresser and my boyfriends dresser because of your tips and tricks so thank you!!
It’s unreal how the color completely changes the entire feel of the piece!!!! 🤯
I love that you did this because laundry bleach can be superrrrr hard on wood, I like the two part kit for actual bleaching or now this technique because you are UGHMAZINGGGG
Thanks, friend! I prefer those two part kits, too!
I love this! Switching over to an oak and white furniture theme and thought I’d have to buy all new pieces. Going to experiment on a small table first. Fingers crossed it works and I can save money!
I can't even believe this finished piece!!! Extraordinary! Beautiful! Now, send it to me... lol!!
Finally starting a channel of my own. Thanks for all the helpful tips (:
WOWIE THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. This is exactly the look I had in my head! Also, the fact that you recommended a finish that gives it that perfect "freshly-cut off of a tree in my dreams" look...soo soft. I'm subscribing Big thank you!! ❤❤❤
This is amazing! I have a home with oak cabinets that have an orange-yellow hue stain.... it screams basketball court flooring to me! I want to lighten them all with a sander... perhaps even do this method! Thank you for sharing your hard work!
I'm looking at refinishing my piano. I think I am going to try this technique.
LOVE, love, love the Zibra brushes!
Me, too!
Was planning to bleach but I’ll be doing this instead TODAY! I’ll be “bleaching” a desktop and its drawers. It’s a kid’s desk, so I love the alternative to using harsh chemicals. 💗 gonna have to check out these brushes, btw!
Reporting back & GIRRRRRRLLLL!!!! This is flipping brilliant. DB’s Sandbar was perfection. Thank you 👏🏽
Love this! So beautiful. Do you have a video where you get the bleached wood look without the sanding and just using paint?
Beautiful! Only one coat of paint on table?
Always good job Christina 🌹
It turned out amazing! It looks like a brand new piece.
Thank you! 😊
Me too!! I love it!! So gorgeous, fresh and has a great coastal vibe. I would love to try this technique. The brushes look awesome as well!!😀😁🙂😊🙌🏽👍🏾🙌🏽👍🏾
Looks amazing as always Christina Muscari!! Really like the light Boho-Coastal feel. Hard to believe it started out that super dark espresso finish.
Thank you so much!!
Looks brand new. Nice work.
This is amazing!! Do you think this technique would work on maple cabinets?!
It turned out so pretty. I love the bleached wood look😊
I'm looking to do a few projects similar to this. What brand/type of sander do you recommend?
Hello. Please help. I'm trying to stain mahogany wood to a warm walnut brown. Now, because mahogany is red I'm afraid I will never achieve this look. I keep reading that the only way that mahogany will take a brown stain is to bleach the wood. I don't want to do that. My question is, can I do the process on the video and then apply the warm walnut stain that I want? Should I use a green undertone stain to cancel out the red? Thanks!
I think my particulate and vapor cartridges on my 3M respirator need to be replaced. How often do you replace yours? It seems a shame that the 60926 needs to be replaced every three months (according to what I've read online). I see that you're using the particulate filters, 3M 2091, on your respirator for this project. Do you switch out filters on the same mask? I love your vlog. I've learned a lot from you. Thank you!!!
Looks beautiful! Please tell us more about using a sanding screen. I have never heard of that but sounds interesting. Does it save on using a bunch of sand paper?
I agree I always use sand paper what’s the sanding screen do that’s different ?
You can wash a sanding screen and reuse it
i will be trying this on one of my videos thank you.
I *need* to get me some zebra brushes, they make the painting process look so easy and smooth ! This came out so cute! I just did something similar with a small dresser, soooo much sanding , but definitely worth it for that bleached wood look!

Beautiful!! Where is the other video where you used Hampton Olive?

@@ChristinaMuscari Thank you! I love that color.
You use so many brushes, can you do a video about how you clean and maintain them. Mine never come completely clean, there is always still some dried paint at the very top of the bristles by the handle.
Amazing!! Ive seen so many furniture tutorials lately highlighting silk for interiors of pieces! That is such a great reason and way to use it!! How would it do on outdoor furniture, do you know?
How do you think it would work on a piece I didn’t sand the original finish off? If I just pained and sealed the base color in a flat. Maybe in a burlap like color. (Or even used silk!!) Then did this wash technique over the top. I have a solid wood drop leaf end table, loads of spindles and details, with a bright red spray paint finish. If I TSP’d it and scuffed it up, couple coats of BOSS and then the paints I described. I just love that bleached effect. Or even a driftwood effect. I just can not take off that red easily.... thoughts?
Looks really good
I loveeee this look! 😍
That's my side table in my bedroom, so I can verify it IS from Cost Plus World Market. Bought mine in 2009. Mine's still in great shape, but this is great to see what it could become in the future.
Love that! Thanks for the directional video. Very Helpful!
Hi Christina. I have seen you sand off many pieces to strip the wood. Is there a reason you don't use stripper instead?
Unrelated question to this awesome video here but I'm painting an old coffee table that was quite a dark brown with Boss. I'm almost out of boss and it clearly needs another coat...Would it be OK to mix some of my dixie belle cotton paint into the primer? Or would that not work?
I use my mouse sander with a shop vac
A little tape and voilé
Would this technique work on Cherry wood? I've heard Cherry wood darkens over time.
Very cool!!! That’s pretty amazing....it def looks bleached.....turned out great! Quick ? What color did you use when you did your RH dupe on I think your bedroom furniture? I remember you used a white color wash over it ....just wondering......thank you for sharing 😊kim
This looks great! I’m in the process of copying your boho dresser using the zissner bleach. It’s coming along nicely.
I’d love to see it when you are done!
@@ChristinaMuscari I would love to share but where? This is my first project and I really appreciate your in-depth videos. You have inspired me to start a new hobby!
@@andyjulia you can email me at christina@prettydistressed.com
it turned out beautifully !
Gorgeous! This is on my list!
This is a very cool look that I might try on an oak piece. Thanks!
Wow, awesome job and a must try going forward. Thanks for the demo. What items and what website can I purchase the items you used? Can you pls. Provide a link?
If you go to the top where the title of the video is, click on the title and the drop down box gives that info
I wonder what would it look like if you had painted the handle the same colour of the interior of the drawer ?
The piece looks amazing! Wondering if you have used Silk with you Wagner Flexio 3000 yet and if so, how it went as I am considering using Silk on a project I am doing and wonder if it will spray well.
I have! ruclips.net/video/1Azmr_MIwhY/видео.html
I am definitely going to try this!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the surf prep info!!
You bet!
That is a really awesome look.
Thanks, Dar!
Absolutely loved this!
The piece looks great and you are a true professional. I would love it if your music was more relaxing. I look at these videos before bedtime and normally they are a wonderful relaxing experience.
Which colour would you suggest to get more of a natural wood/ oak colour?
Burlap by Dixie Belle is a good one.
Gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
It’s beautiful!
Thanks!
I really want to try this technique on a piece and wasn’t looking forward to using bleach, so this was a great video/inspiration. 👍❤️
How long did it take you to sand this piece down?
People-you can do this with any Brush and any paint!
Love it 💕
Thank you! 😊
Love this!!
love this video
If the Silk paint is 'all-in-one' then why did you use a topcoat?
I only used a top coat on the portion I used the chalk mineral paint. I didn't topcoat the Silk.
I want that sander but soo costly. Ive looked everywhere to find a cheaper price with no such luck😔
I used a $60 one from the hardware store for years. The Surf Prep is an investment but so worth it for full or part time refinishers.
❤️❤️❤️😍bonito demás
The USA is the best place to be for buying these products, in New Zealand, just one brush will cost you minimum amount of $25 !! So you Americans make the most of your easily obtained products
Beautiful
Nice!
Awesome
It’s similar to white wash technique.
Yes it is!
I’m in Melbourne Australia it’s 1.13 am I’ll watch tomorrow... since we are in our fourth lockdown 😘😘😘
Melbourne too, can’t sleep when in lockdown so going to watch now. Cold old night.
Are you in lockdown from covid
I love your work but this one not so much. The table looked painted not bleached. I hate cleaning brushes and you used like 6 or 7 brushes no wonder you got behind cleaning all through brushes. My father was a professional painter he used disposable brushes he claimed that some of the cheap brushes worked just as good as expensive ones. I know you used some very special type brushes they looked nice did good job but they don’t clean themselves.
Ugh!!! I hate when people call it DARK furniture makeover...err no its light oak, a no-brainer after a light white wash! I've been looking all over for a mahogany or sapeli wood to light oak or pine finish, no luck! How to give dark woods a natural light wood finish??
Err..So you Basically just painted it light...
Do not care for zibra brushes! Not smooth and soft like other brushes in my opinion. But your work and videos are excellent!!

what masks do you use?
You're more helpful than you realize, want to be youtube friends?
I know Woodglut has the best woodworking plans.
How long did it take you to sand the entire piece ?
Gorgeous!!
Thank you!!
