White Wash Pressure Treated Wood!

by All Things Heart and Home

My porch project is well underway and next to figuring out what to do with the floor, the railings were at the top of my least-favorite-thing list! The pressure treated wood had that yellowish tint and honestly made the porch feel unfinished. But a little help from Behr Semi Transparent Stain and I got the soft white washed look I wanted!

Beautiful!! So glad I found this. I have a client that has tongue and groove pine ceiling on her porch. She wants it white washed. I have done white washed pine floors inside a house, but the process is different. I was trying to find something that would hold up to the elements of the gulf coast. I think this should do nicely since it will never be walked on.
