How to turn wood to distressed wood

Cindy Hagemann on Sep 29, 2016Go to a Habitat for Humanity Restore and find old/reclaimed wood and use it instead of buying new wood. Then you can sand (lightly), stain or paint how you choose, not spend as much money and help save the environment (a little)! Have fun and post a photo!Helpful Reply
