Hi,
I've just sanded down an old chest of drawers to the bare pine, removing a layer of varnish. I would now like to apply a limewash paint effect but am unsure of how to do this & I can't find anything definitive with the usual google searches.
I did read something on a forum about thining down some emulsion paint with water & wiping the paint off with a rag to achieve the effect. Is this correct, if so can I use left over matt emulsion paint that I used to paint my walls, any ideas about recommended dilution proportions for a very light paint effect - I want an almost bleached wood look; how long should I leave the paint before wiping?
Thanks in advance, Jason
