This is how I made over her doll house I found by the side of the road with spray paint and contact paper! When you use liming wax, your wooden pieces will stand out with a shine and an attractive, whitened grain pattern.

An easy way to give a surface a whitewashed look, Lime Wax can be put right over a finished surface to protect and color at the same time. You can add this in circular motions to work it into the grain but always finish in the direction of the grain.For a more traditional mellow finish use Liberon Black Bison Clear wax, this will give a nice smooth finish. This is a great technique for bringing out the character of the wood, as well as creating a washed coastal look. Using your brush or coarse sandpaper, gently brush along the grain until the texture feels slightly rough.

Liming effect - white Furniture Wax may be applied directly over Fusion Mineral Paint or milk paint. I think if you used it on an un-stripped piece it would only really adhere to the cracks and crevices.I have never used liming wax before so was a little hesitant but no need for that, it was easy to use and did the exact job I hoped for. You can see I didn’t do a good job applying the stripper in a uniform direction on the top one and that made for more work, removing the swirls, later. It can also be applied to raw and tinted wood, enhancing the grain and giving an Aged World look with ease.

The gentle finishing wax is created from a blend of beeswax, carnauba wax, and shellac wax, and it creates a lasting and lustrous shine. Real Milk Paint is a kid safe paint and we back that up by having our milk paint tested to be compliant and meet the requirements set by the CPSC (US Consumer Product Safety Commission). Using a soft cloth or brush, apply the whitewash generously, ensuring it penetrates into the opened grain. I like to use a large garbage bag, cut open, so that way I can just scoop it all up and throw it away!It’s essential to wipe off the surplus product with a clean, damp cloth, ensuring a consistent finish. A clear wax or sealant can create a more durable finish, protecting the lime wax and enhancing the project’s overall appearance. Clean the Surface: Once you have an open grain, wipe the surface with a clean cloth to remove any loose dust or debris. Open the grain with a Liberon Bronze Liming Brush, always work in the direction of the grain and use a fair amount of pressure.

All stripping is messy; I use paper towels; stripping pads and scrapers of course; a spray bottle of water for rinsing and mineral spirits for clean up -then you need to sand the project to remove any stripping chemical residue that was missed. Exaggerate the effect by opening the grain with a bronze wire brush carefully before applying the wax. Important: Always test product on a spare surface or inconspicuous area for colour, compatibility and end result. This combination offers a level of protection and durability that’s perfect for high-traffic areas or frequently used furniture pieces.So this is my finished piece, it’s brought out the grain of the wood beautifully I think and I really, really love it.
