Got brand new pine skirting and am wondering about whitewashing them with diluted white emulsion to lighten them, but leave the woodgrain showing through, hopefully producing a nice effect. Presumably then they would also need protecting with a matt varnish. Anyone know if that would that work alright?

watered down emulsion would lift the grain in the skirting which can spoil the look unless that is what effect you want
or best too use whitewash wax or liming wax

Thanks! Would whitewash wax or liming wax also protect so that there's no need to varnish?
