Age Wood with Latex Paint

Happy Friday!  It is time for another video tutorial.  Today we are sharing how to age wood with latex paint.

Video Tutorial: Age Wood with Latex Paint

Today on Episode 9, we share how to achieve a weathered wood finish easily on new wood using paint.  This is a technique anyone can do – I promise!  Watch the video below to see the full tutorial and painting technique: 

If you love the look of old wood but are creating something from new wood, this technique is for you!  It is fast and easy – so it is a win-win!  You basically stain the wood using latex paint.  Latex paint is wall paint, and I’m willing to bet you have some cans of leftover paint just waiting for a project like this. I prefer to using gray-colored paint with a beige undertone to achieve this look.

One outdoor kitchen and suddenly we’re hosting every weekend. ☀️🍉 We recently added @blueskyoutdoorliving_brand White Shaker 3-Piece Outdoor Kitchen Combo to our pool patio, and it’s completely changed how we entertain. From graduation parties to Memorial Day cookouts, it’s become the gathering spot all summer long.

The weather-resistant cabinets feature a patented folding design that assembles surprisingly fast. 💨

#DutchBoyPartner This bathroom leaned a little cool, so I warmed it up with Sandstone Tint by @dutchboypaints and it completely changed the look of the space.

No major reno. No new cabinets. Just paint.

Save this if you’ve been wanting to try a DIY project

I created this reel two years ago, but since the fields behind our house rotate between corn and beans… it’s a corn summer again. 🌽

The older I get, the more I appreciate these ordinary little rhythms of life. Watching the field change through the seasons has quietly become one of my favorite parts of home.

We waited 13 years for this - and our house looks happier with her glow-up!

We went from a drafty single door (with a 90s glass inlay I poorly covered up) to double doors that allows in more light and feel right for our home.

What do you think?
