How to create rustic finish after stripping down vintage furniture?
Hello everyone, I love Olive Atelier's distressed/rustic furniture, and thought it might be easier to try for my first project since they're not technically perfect and it'd be okay if i mess up.
This is the color/finish I'd like to replicate:
And this is the current state of the furniture:
The Olive Atelier piece looks to have a satin or matte sheen, so I was thinking of finishing with Osmo Polyx hard wax in matte but am not sure which color(s) to use to stain the wood to get that neutral brown. I'd like lower VOC products that don't require masks/tons of ventilation. The wood grain also has some curly/shiny areas which I'd like to preserve.
I'm excited to hear your ideas!
