@@therefurbishedlife oh yeah I would love a dark base and white wax tutorial. But I meant this project is kind of the opposite white base with the darker stain in the deeper grain. It looks very nice. Like cerused oak. 😉
Also, I need to rewatch it and memorize how you did the drawers. I just realized that would make such a pretty color on a wood table that I have been wanting to redo for my kitchen. Do you think it could work on a table?
@@KR-zd7ow yep it would for sure! You just need to have a really good topcoat for tables. I generally don’t do oil base top coats on furniture because there’s a chance that it can yellow overtime but unless you have a really durable water-based topcoat (there’s a couple that might do the trick) but I would recommend an oil base topcoat for a table. And the applicator I use is this blue round sponge that you can get off Amazon for pretty inexpensive, but it makes a really perfect finish.
That orange oak finish always reminds me of the faux wood from my childhood. I absolutely love wood, so it's a shame that all the fake stuff had that oak look because I really do like oak, but it has really turned me away from it. Oak has a beautiful grain, but I just see fake, so I have to go really ultra light, or really, really dark like Jacobean (several coats)to diminish the grain, which just feels wrong to me. Any other wood, I like to see the natural grain. The 80s and 90s ruined Oak for me.
It really was such a huge trend back then, just very bulky and orange. It's such a super strong and great wood to work with, but I know what you mean!! I think paint washes can do a lot of what some stains can't as well so you can get it just in the right tone family that you want it to be in. There's a paint color I've been wanting to try Aloquine by fusion mineral paints. It's very popular for doing washes and it really turns out lovely.
It came out beautifully!
Thank you so much! 😊 💛
I like the cerused oak.
@@lfuentes4098 I really like that look too! It's been quite a while since I've used cerusing wax, that's a good idea for another project! Thank you 😊

I love how this one turned out! So pretty! The feet on it are such a cool touch too.

I agree! Just what it needed to make it unique and and modern. @@therefurbishedlife
