Why pay $$$ for expensive wood bleach when you can make your own for way less? 

If you’ve ever worked with cherry or mahogany wood, you know it can sometimes turn out way too pink. But no worries, I’ve got a super simple, money-saving solution!

Instead of spending a ton on store-bought wood bleach, you can make it yourself using just a few basic ingredients.

I’m using this homemade wood bleach recipe to transform this cherry nightstand top from pink to light and natural. The best part? You can make several rounds of wood bleach with this method for much less than you’d spend on a store-bought kit.

This gorgeous cabinet top is solid mahogany so it had red and orange undertones even after stripping and sanding it. To eliminate the undertones, I bleached it. As you can see, it made a huge difference. I was then able to do a paint wash, which resulted in a gorgeous muted stain, without sacrificing the gorgeous wood grain.

Christina | Furniture & Home Designs on Instagram: "My favorite finish. Works perfect to even out splotchy wood tones and is great for getting that light, bleached wood look without the harsh chemicals and long dry times. Once this dries, I’ll go over it with a water base top coat and she’s done! I have a “tan wash” highlight with more details on how to use this technique.  . . . #tanwash #furnituremakeover #mcmdressermakeover #atlantafurniture #roswellga" Bleach Coffee Table, How To Lighten Wood Furniture, Bleached Wood Cabinets, Beige Wash Furniture, Tan Wash Furniture, Bleaching Wood Furniture, Tan Wash, Driftwood Finish, Bleached Wood

I didn’t really like how dark it was. I decided that I was going to find a way to whitewash the kitchen island, I just needed to figure out how to do it!
