Whitewashed Cherry Table

IMG_0035
The only thing wrong with this table (if you don’t count the glitter glue and magic marker on the top), was the color. SO orangey-red! The cherry wood itself, with the noticeable grain, is absolutely gorgeous and I knew it would be a shame to cover it up if it wasn’t absolutely necessary. So that’s why I decided to strip it down to bare wood and give it a night, light, whitewashing. So Much Better!

No more orange. And the stain is light enough that you can still see the beautiful grain, as well as the darker inlaid strip around the perimeter.
