Excellent video - no corny music, no corny effects - just straight out simple directions. Well done young lady! Cheers from Canada.
I appreciate anybody who takes the time to teach us how to do a craft, but out of all the videos I watched yours was the best. Thank you I look forward to trying this out.
Bill B thank you!! That’s very kind, I’m so glad it was helpful
I completely agree! But tonight will be the true tale as I have my kitchen table stripped, sanded down and ready to go!🙌😁😂
Billie McDonald oh good luck! I hope you practiced on some scrap first to get the ratio you like! Good luck! 🍀
I've looked at MANY different you-tube videos and like yours the best. Thank you for sharing.
Becky Jones thank you! So glad it was helpful 👊🏼❤️
We've completely redid our entire bedroom set thanks to this video! Came out epic! Lots of work but damn well worth it! Thank you for this!!!
Yay!
Love this! You completely simplified it. And not a million steps!! Thank you, thank you!!!
I love it too!
Everyone has a unique technique on doing this but this is the easiest and most effective way by far. Looks good
Eric Montanez thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!
Robo Trump haha thanks it was one of my very first videos 2 years ago. Glad it helped and I wish you luck! Thanks for watching
Just what I was looking for. Getting ready to build a box for a set of six pendant lights that will hang over my kitchen island. I wanted the box to replicate the floor tile and your method is exactly what I am looking for. Wish me luck and thank you.
Found this video late I've used a few techniques but this is by far my favorite
Thank you!
I love how you made this video short and straight to the point! Million thanks 🙏
Thanks! I appreciate you watching
Tried this technique on a coffee table. Came out great! Everyone loves it! Thanks you.
Yay!!! So glad!
This looks so simple and easy an it comes out looking like a a million bucks it's Amazing ... I'm working on a project an I'm going thru an bunch of videos trying to find a look an color an technique. I think I might have jus found what I'm looking for from this. Thanks a bunch for sharing I love it
Just came across your channel and have subscribed. Love this and some of your other ideas! I love how many of us Mom's (I'm a Mum!) are sharing our DIY skills. You've been going a lot longer than me, but I'm well and truly addicted to my DIY and hope to get more out there. I'll definitely be doing this on some custom pieces for our new garden room. Thank you! Karen
Oh that’s awesome!! So happy to meet you and thank you so much for watching!!
Just did this to my barn doors. Thank you so much for the video.
Oh nice!! So glad it helped!
Best tutorial I've seen on this. Nice work.
That’s so nice! Thank you
I'm a painting contractor and an artist. I've been doing more of these kinds of projects for clients, and for my own home. I like your technique. I would probably use some fine steel wool to soften the brush strokes. As much as I've done this over the years, even at my age (no tell), I always learn something new when I watch these videos. Thanks!
Thanks for a short and to the point tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
Appreciate the video can’t wait to start my next project seems easy enough to do!
I like the way this turned out. Of course... you made it look really easy. LOL. I'll give it a try though!
Practice is key, I like to say just don’t give up until you get the look you want by practicing before you try it on the actual piece
Hallelujah!!!!...BEST TUTORIAL I’VE EVER WATCHED!!!!...
(Couldn’t hit the sub button fast enough).
Ok so just to make sure I’ve got this right-
You first apply/rub in the gray with a rag, then go in with the Jacobean using a brush, then you wipe it down/rub it in with the rag again?
Thank you so so much for this!...
I look forward to watching your other vids.
Thank you! I didn’t because I wanted it to blend, but you could. I usually suggest you try in some scrap until you find the look you like! Thanks for the follow
Never seen someone dry brush a cabinet. Thought this technique was only used for miniature model painting. Rock on.
thank you
@@EternalHarvestDecor Your welcome
Love it!!! ❤️ This is exactly what I had in my head for our kitchen table, but I needed something to show the hubby so he understood the pic in my head. 🤣🙌🏻
That is awesome!
@@EternalHarvestDecor So I am finally moving forward w this table, but had a setback. The table has a decorative deep crack going around the top. I filled it in because it’s a crumb collector. It’s also been primed with BIN shellac primer because we needed to make sure there was no bleed through. Our plan changed to solid color paint, but now that I see your video again, I wonder if it can still be done like this. 🤔 Primer is white. I planned to do the piece much brighter because the room it’s in.. everything is light and airy. Sorta has a beachy or garden feel to it, so it would work better. Do you think this look can still be achieved on something primed white? 🤣 This damn table is not going according to plan. 🤦♀️🤷♀️ I just really am trying to avoid it being boring. 🙃
Mine looks so good I skipped the accent color, this was one of the fastest and best weathered wood videos and I've seen a lot.
prettymochame I’m so glad!! And thank you!!
@@EternalHarvestDecor I also just used a paint brush and I'm painting today...yay!
prettymochame yay!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@EternalHarvestDecor Yeah, this is straight to the point and actually well done in terms of the craft. There's some terrible ones out there.
Ed Ali thanks so much! I’m so glad it was helpful!
Wow I'm amazed at how easy you made that look. I finally learned something I've been wanting to try!
Yay thank you! I hope you love it! I suggest practicing on some scraps to figure out the look you like best! Thanks for watching!
@@EternalHarvestDecor I've been doing a lot of holiday crafts, if I had a way to show you I would. I think you'd really like them.
Sounds awesome! I bet I would!
Hey! Thank you so much for your help! I've been wanting to make a murphy desk in a inset in one of my walls (it's weird) but I was so pissed when I started because it looked nothing like what you had done but I kept at it and streaked the darker color (I used weathered grey and ebony...because that's all I found at HD) with the light grey and wiped and it actually turned out so perfect so a big, huge thank you!
Edit: once I finished everything and got it set up perfect I ended up streaking ever so slightly with a satin white I was using to touch up a wall, i streaked and wiped immediately in thin lines and slightly curved long lines and it made the desk pop so much more. Thanks again for the help and good luck all!
Oh good!!! I’m so glad you stuck with it! I try to tell people that and to not get discouraged, EVERY SINGLE project has a moment that doesn’t go as planned. Just keep pushing! Great job and thanks for watching!
Thank you for the extra tips you did when it didn't turn out how you wanted when you first started and kept going at it. That's very encouraging. I want to make some frames and shelves using this technique and was intimidated by messing up some kind of way and not being able to fix it and have any mistake stuck and have to transform the color into something different that I wasn't planning on. Thanks again, really needed that encouragement from a real person💜
@@AikoFox all we can do is try! Dont get stuck thinking you can't because then nothing will happen, think you can and even if it turns out slightly different you'll know that you created something, good luck 😊
I literally have been searching for days to find a video like this one with the exact type of technique I’m trying to accomplish. Seriously thank you and I need to know what products you used because I’m doing my wall in my living room and I’m finally confident I have the look I want.
April Maines hi April! Thank you for watching! This was done on bare wood and with stains (they are all listed in the description) for a wall you would want to try and make the same patter and look with paint. I suggest getting some scrap pieces of wood first and trying it there until you find the grey/brown ratio you like! Good luck 👍🏼
Beautiful! You make it look so easy, I can’t wait to try this technique! Thank you!!
I'm about to do an accent wall in my kitchen, I really like this look and think this might be what I go with
Ohh good call! May I copy your idea to my living room?? I am going for a light blue, grey and sand color scheme
@@jessicamariehernandez3330 how did your living room come out? any photos to share? Id love to do this as well and love your color scheme idea.
Could you both let me know what you did please and send me pics im debating shiplac on dining room wall but with my kitchen backsplash its like barnwood my email is krazymammaw7@gmail.com I am not sure exactly what to get my kitchen / dining room is all going to blend in with white, gray black and dark gray. Doing kitchen cabinets top a light gray bottom med gray but adding some white going for rustic / farmhouse/ antique all in both rooms my outside kinda is shaped like a barn lol so why not please send me pics so I know before I attempt it
Awesome and just the video I was looking for.
Great! Thanks for watching.
I've watched a couple of your vids. This one made me hit the subscribe button!! Love it!
Erik Vinson thank you! I appreciate that
Love this!! I’m actually about to try this on an old dresser I have. I started sanding yesterday and should be done with it today thanks!!
Nice!! Hope it all works out!
So I did end up doing it and used your tips and techniques and it came out beautiful! Hardest part was the varnish stripping really pain in the rear but other then that it was a fun process! Thanks again.
Great tutorial. I believe the stain is pronounced Jack ub eean. Keep up the good work.
You did a great job. Thanks for the inspiration.
You are so sweet! Thanks for watching!
I just did it and and easiest thing to do, I painted this dresser this silver chalk paint color and hate it flat so I wanted a rustic look. I didn't have a brown so took a forest green and added a little red, I test painted a box the same color as dresser then drug my DIY brown like she did then a little wheat color. It was so easy and mine looks just as good if not better, I'm totally doing the whole dresser now.....THANKS!
yay! So glad it worked out!!!!
@@EternalHarvestDecor I'm a little OCD so mistakes are not an option and no other video has convinced me all would be well. I do what I set out to do normally with great success I will say but I've been staring at this piece for a week knowing what I need to do but just couldn't until now. I can now move on to this other piece someone tried to buy with 1 coat of my DIY paint and drawers not even painted. They can have it after I practice some technique so they thank you too.
Thank you for sharing this technique. I just did an entry table and I love how it turned out, best part it was easy and fun to do. Thanks
Wonderful! So happy to hear this!!
Very creative, great video too.
Wow! I just found your stuff. This is amazingly good.
Thanks so much! I appreciate the support
Thank you for sharing going to try this on my closet!
You are so welcome!
New to this whole wood stain/weathered projects. Using it in my new home. Love your technique! Couple questions, What type of wood works best with these stains? Do you sand and use any kind of wood conditioner first? And how long do you leave the stain on before you wipe off? Would love to see an in depth video on how to do this with other stains as well 😊 great channel! Thank you
Amanda Kay thanks for watching! It works great on pine, white wood and Doug fir. I do sand lightly first. I wipe as I go like in the video so they mix together slightly and I do not use wood conditioner. I appreciate your questions I usually tell people to play around with scrap and see what you like 🙌🏼❤️ good luck!
That is amazing !!!! Can't wait to try it out !!!Thank you for sharing
Awesome 👏🏼 thanks for watching
Looks absolutely fantastic, exactly the finish I want, thanks for the video👍
Avagojo awe thanks you! Just practice first! You got this!
What paint do you use for the 2 top coats? Thanks 👍
Avagojo I use polycrylic by Minwax
Thanks a million 🤗🤗🤗
You are amazing! You need to do more videos. Your so helpful.
Susan Bates thanks so much! 😉🙌🏼
Loved the technique! Can't wait to give it a try! Thx!
Love it, absolutely gorgeous. Love the colors!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Can’t wait to try this! 🥳
Have fun!
Love it! 🥰😘💕 Thank you for sharing
Olga Chavez thanks! Of course!
Impressive work. Well done.
Great technique - thanks for sharing.
Awesome video....exactly what I needed to know
, I love it, great job I enjoy your work
Thank you Julie!
This is amazing, the end result is unbelievable. have you ever tried this on plywood?
Logan Riley thanks so much! I have not tried it on ply but it should work the same as long as it’s been pre sanded and possibly prestained to seal? Idk ply soaks things up crazy fast so practice first haha! thanks for watching! And for the comment!
Wow! Great job. Looks amazing. This will be what I do to my next piece. Thanks!
Thank you! Hope you like the technique when you try it!
Amazing, Awesome process.
CANADIAN BOYS thanks so much ! I appreciate ya watching! 🙌🏼
This is beautiful! I feel the need to go build something lol
Yay!! That makes my day!!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
great effort and amazingly done. thank you for sharing
Wish you were in ohio id pay you to do soo many projects you have great ideas and talent
Well thank you so much! I’ll be starting to ship some of my items early next year hopefully so make sure to follow me on IG for updates when I get to the new shop!
Love this
Thank you 🙏🏼
Genius
Amazing work!
Amazing art ! , I'm in love with your talent... 🙌 I will be doing the same to my dining table. I just have a question, how long do you wait to dry in between stains and colors?
Grysell Gutierrez thanks for watching! Great question! I only waited a few seconds between each darker color so I could blend them and then waited a few min to add the white. I usually suggest ppl do a practice run on scrap just to be sure it’s the way you like it. Good luck!
Thanks for your great work N tough us....
Thanks
Looks awesome! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Best technique because don’t need to sand less work
Absolutely amazing talent , could you list the names of the stain you used to create this effect ?
I know this video is old but I wanted to ask if this technique can be used on plywood 🤔? Thanks for sharing this brilliant easy to follow technique 😊👌🏻
I’d say make sure it’s a hardwood ply sometimes it can stain super splotchy. Maybe just do a test piece first! It should work I think
@@EternalHarvestDecor good idea! I think I'll get oak ply (if that's hardwood?) since oak ply has a lot of grain cathedral looking patterns and has depth variations which should allow for nice staining with the different colors 🤞🏻
Thank you so much. God bless and enjoy the rest of your weekend ☺️
Awesome stuff. I'm trying this on pine (2x6's) but the woods it's self is much more red and after I brush on if I wipe it shows the red grain through the stain . What should I try? I started with varathan pre stain conditioner waited about 40 minutes then use classic gray varathan and Jacobean.
Superb method. What kind of a durable final finish would you put over this faux for kitchen cabinets?
Thanks 😊 for cabinets you wouldn’t need something more intense. I would use a two part lawyer finish pre mixed and sprayed. But for a table or decor I deft clear coat amzn.to/3iWUgnq
What kind of stain did you use? I see the colors and brands but I’m needing to know if it’s the solid colors or the semi transparent. Apparently these many variations lol. Awesome video. Definitely the easiest way I’ve seen.
alliekatt I think this is it, it’s oil and not transparent
amzn.to/2yeFvKW
alliekatt I’ll go through and add more links to the video tonight!
Robo Trump it’s just latex paint like you would use on your walls mixed with water
Robo Trump wow that sounds like it was a really cool process! I love low gloss or satin the most for my clear coats and I use deft fro Home Depot or polycrylic from Lowes if it’s going on a wall that should be perfect!
great instruction vid! exactly what i was searching for, thank you. have you tried technique this on newly distressed wood? i have 12 fake rustic beams and 600'+ of tounge n grove, to try to match fake barn wood vinyl cupboards/ flooring to. its very close to your finish but maybe jus the 2 base colors with white, and the beams a shade darker gray than the t&g. my concern is that the distressed dimples will just be the last color applied and dimimish the effect or point of distressing. any advice that would save a step much appreciated.
Awesome
Hi. Did you water down the white like you did the teal? Also, did you wipe the white right after like you did the teal?
Love your video. Very kind of you to share your craft! Thanks!
Yes I did I did water it down and also wiped right after! Thanks for watching
Fantastic video I'm trying to do cabinets in a kitchen can I achieve this look without major major sanding, now I have seen a video where some one just scuff sanded the stained cabinet which was brown, then he put down antique white then he did the dry brush look with a carbon grey and looked like yours it was fantastic more like a driftwood effect but that's what I'm trying to do. also I'm really into the music in the background could you tell me who it is.Thanks!!
Thank you for sharing! Does this work on polished hardwood floor?
I like that look is plyboard light enough to get the same effect ???
nice technique
Dharmesh Vitthani thanks! It’s one of my favorites!
Can you do this technique on metal exterior doors and if so would suggest a gel stain color?
Done it .. turned out great thank you What kind of protective coat do I put on it
Yay! I love polycrilic 👊🏼
Your work is absolutely amazing!!! 🤩🤩🤩 Simple and to the point 👍🏻 I have a question tho... would I be able to achieve this look on an old dining table and not on new wood? After stripping it and sanding it down?
And also, would chalk paint work instead of latex paint?
So I haven’t tried paint but the stain should work fine if the table is sanded to bare wood 🙌🏼 thanks for watching
Question. I love your technique, but what technique would you use in a situation where you have varnished dark furniture. I was planning and lightly sanding it and priming and start with a light base coat...then move to the stains. What's your opinion?
I actually have seen people us oven easy off, it takes the wood back to its natural color first and then start from there
Are you letting each stain/paints dry in between colors or are you applying layers one after another? Looks great
Thanks, one right after layered and blended
Nice job. I’m looking for a darker example
I doubt I’ll ever stop loving the old, weathered look but what will we do if that happens?? I won’t even know how to paint anymore. 🥺 my house will be empty. Lol
I’m totally in the same boat!! Haha
Love the look of this! I decided to do my dining room table for my first staining project lol. The first color I was going to do was Carbon Grey but then thought it might be too dark so I also got a can of Classic Grey. Would those 2 colors still work for this type of look? Is an accent color necessary? Thanks for you help :)
I think pretty much any wood color would work with this technique, I would say just be sure to practice and try the colors out first to achieve the look you want. Then put it on the final piece. Love carbon grey, you just need a lighter and darker color and you may want to add some brown tones if you want it mimic wood. The accent color is not necessarily at all just fun to tie in decor if desired
Genius Brandi. Looks amazing
John Payne thanks John 😉
Very nice! Would you recommend using wood conditioner on pine before using this technique?
I would not, you want all those color variations to really come though 😉 thanks for watching
Skip the brush and use a cloth rag to wipe on the turquoise.
Thank you for the video 😉
You're welcome 😊
I loved this technique! I am not sure about the wood because I have a red oak table top. The colors on the red oak look different than the colors in this video. I have classic gray and jacobean. Do you have any experience with the red oak?
Hi!! I do! so red oak is named that because when its wet in any way it does just that, pulls red. It can be super hard to color match. I would suggest white washing the whole thing first, or you could even bleach it. Sometimes the bleach makes the wood lighter like a pine to pull differently. Do you have any scraps you can play with? I would suggest trying a bunch of different stains on a few sample pieces first to find what you really like. Good luck!
Did you say that you put a finish product on top of this technique? Totally love your video
Yep I put a clear poly over the top
And thank you!!!
Love the color! What is the best type of paint to use when adding the colors with the water?
I really loved your video! I used the colors you used to make a sliding barn door and it turned out great but it’s a little too gray for my walls. I didn’t do the turquoise. What do you suggest I could do to warm it up a bit?
You could add a little special walnut stain to warm it up if you like.
How was I not subscribed already?! Fixed that
HAHA youre awesome! Thank you, I am a newbie for sure ;)
Love your video. I am new to this staining process. I am going to be staining a wood stair case (pine) what do you recommend for a sealer? Or final coat sorry again I am completely new. I am going to practice first: )
Practice will totally help. I would recommend a wood floor sealer or deft clear water base like this amzn.to/2SKHxK1
Good luck! Sounds like a great project
Can a satin finish poly urethane be put on the top for a protective layer? Does it ruin the affect of the old finish look?
Should be fine, but I don’t think it’s needed
Gorgeous!
thank you so much! I am going to put a few methods more up this month! Thanks for watching!
so what i can tell by the video, i do the grey slats(rub it in),then dark color(rub it in) and then the watered down white latex paint (do it like you showed how to do the turqouise) then the poly clear coat?
Yep you got it
Hi Brandi...I just have a couple of questions. What kind of "sheen" did you use for the paint? (i.e Semi-gloss; Matte;.....etc) For the white, is it a Ultra Bright white or a different one? Also, can you use stain instead of latex paint for the color and white? Example.....Teal stain and White Wash Pickling.
Thanks!
Frank
Hi thanks for watching it’s most likely satin sheen, that’s what I usually have on hand. I’ve never tried it with color stain, I usually Suggest that people make some sample boards to play around with and learn how to do the look the way that they want it.good luck! 👋🏼
@@EternalHarvestDecor Wow....thank you so much for the quick reply. You see, I'm wanting to do do something awesome for wife as she is dealing with lymphoma cancer. And as far as the white....is it an Ultra Pure White or Ultra Bright White or another one? Again, I really do appreciate your help and time. Please stay safe.:)
VP ORD hi no prob, give your wife my best I would go with the pure white as the wood is supposed to look a bit weathered. But anything would work, it all depends on the look you want.
I love this! The color and white, are they paint or stains as well?
The white was paint the rest stains. Thanks for watching everything is listed in the description
Oh! You are right! Missed that! Thank you!
Any chance acrylic paint would work? Gonna scroll through comments to see if already answered, but just in case. Also thanks for showing your technique!
Never tried this before! Not sure maybe do a test piece
Can this effect be done with paint if you aren't working with wood? I would like to do a melamine table that I have sealed with a primer. Love this look!
I have had a few people tell me they were able to achieve the same look with paint for surfaces like melamine. I would say do some practice runs with paint thinning with water and see what you think! Good luck! Thanks for watching.
@@EternalHarvestDecor Thanks for your input! I'll give a try.
