White Washing & Distressing Porch Floor!

I'm doing a makeover on my screen porch and I'm doing it on a shoestring budget! The screen porch was built last year over a part of our existing deck and the floors were less than pretty. When pricing everything I wanted to do on the porch with almost no money, I decided to stain the floors in a semi-transparent white. When I got the stain on, I wasn't thrilled so I experimented with wiping a little of the stain off to give them a distressed look. Here's what I came up with! This isn't for everybody, some of you guys might not like it-I understand, but I'm happy and I spent only $33.00 at Home Depot for the stain!

Sophie Gross on Mar 21, 2016i love it and is exactly what I was planning for my porch this summer. Good thing I saw your post because I was going to white wash with paint. I never thought about using stain, I think it may be more durable than paint. Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing
