Yesterday I posted about the "new whitewash." Today I want to clarify a little. Because whitewash is back- that does NOT mean that I am suggesting you keep your stuff from the 1980's. Your 80's bathroom is not cool- your whitewash 80's kitchen- should still be painted.. Your floors are still in need of refinishing:
The new whitewash floor looks more like the photo below and the photo at the top of the post- can you see the white in the grain? It is put on and wiped off (sometimes scraped off) rather than just painted on. I am not a "do-it-yourselfer"- so I can't tell you HOW to get his look. On DuChateau's web site- (the flooring in the top picture)- it gave us some hints- by explaining how they achieved their look:
DuChateau Floors produces top quality, wide planked hardwood floors that
are distressed, Hard-Wax oiled, smoked, and brushed to achieve a true vintage
look.
So- there you have it- distressed, hard wax oil finish, smoked, and brushed. Or- I can just tell you where to purchase it already done. :)
