Thompson's wood sealer. Keeps the real wood beauty without the paint!

There is certainly a trend toward painting furniture these days! I like paint for saving old furniture that isn't of great value, and the chalk paint technique really brings out the details, even on more valuable pieces. I wonder if this is something that will pass, or if it is here to stay. Meanwhile, it is good to be reminded that there is beauty in natural wood as well.

Hi Terina, You are so right! Sometimes it's nice to just leave things as they are and bring out and preserve it's beauty! :)

I agree, especially if it’s a family heirloom, I hate to paint over the natural wood.

I much prefer the natural wood .

I love it and the ability to see my beautiful wood without covering up with a paint or dark stain.
