Painted to look like wood! I love using this painting technique to make wood or other materials look stained! 🎨✨ It’s perfect for paint-grade woods that don’t stain well or for materials that aren’t wood but need that natural wood look. Here’s what I used: 🖌 Base Coat: Sherwin Williams Pro Classic (satin) in Behr “Rugged Tan” I usually prime first, but I skipped it this time since this paint has some built-in primer qualities. However, if you're painting furniture like dressers, I highly recommend priming first to prevent bleed-through and help with adhesion. 🎨 Glaze: Rustoleum Decorative Glaze in Java Brown 🔹 Application: Brush or spray on the base coat, then apply the glaze with long, smooth strokes using a deck staining brush to create grain lines. For extra texture, I got creative—I used a Turtle Wax cleaner brush I found in our garage! 😂 But a whisk broom works just as well. Finally, I sealed everything with my favorite topcoat: Varathane Water-Based Polyurethane (satin sheen). 🔥 paintedfauxstain diywoodfinish fauxstain paintedwood diyhomedecor LTKFindsUnder50 LTKHome LTKWatchNow
