The Ultimate Light Wood Showdown: Wax, Wash, or Pickle?

If you've ever wondered whether to try a white wash, white wax, or pickling stain, check this video out. I've done all three, and in this video, you'll see me transform a cheap mid century thrift store dresser into a light wood and painted beauty using Minwax Pickled Oak stain and Fusion Mineral Paint.
TO SEE ME USE A WHITEWASH TECHNIQUE:
TO SEE ME USE A WHITE WAX TECHNIQUE:

In THIS video, I'll also give you some pros and cons of each from my own experiences, of course, with all three methods, and show you a piece or two done with each product. Not everyone will have exactly the same result or experience.. I just wanted to share MY experiences with it!

I just found you and you're making me binge watch you! 😁

Loved the video.
When my wife and I watch videos by other furniture restorers, we cant help but notice that a lot of restorers appear to sand their pieces cosmetically; purely for the sake of the video.
You go to great lengths to do things right, we love it. Thank you.

Love how light and airy the piece has become!

[julesoyler]

Have admired your work for awhile now, you're very talented! Youre teaching skills are off the chart! I feel like we were in the same head space- just getting ready to do a piece much like the one you did here. You are awesome. Thank you for sharing 🤗

[jenniferleach]

I love the lightness of the piece it just doesn’t look like the same furniture wow 😮

Sherry here: Angie, that is a gorgeous dresser! You do such amazing work. We have a dining room table up for refinishing and I have been going back and forth between a wash and a stain. This helps with that decision. Thank you!

[brandyd]

It's like you read my mind. I worked on a whitewash piece this week and I am very pleased with how it came out. I am sure looking for to watching this!

[MeNotYou]

I have a project I have been researching how to do properly and turned to youtube, out of all the furniture restoration channels your videos are top notch. You explain each step, why you’re doing/not doing something, give different products and your experience with each… not to mention the great sound quality and efficiency of information over doing unnecessary shots. I’ve started watching many videos of yours since just to keep learning! Thank you for your hard work you’re great at it!

[beverlyness]

I absolutely love this dresser. The white wash technique really stands out as something special. Great Job!

[allisonlopez]

Oh man, that 3M stripping pad was crazy, talk about instant gratification!

[stephaniekitchen]

I love how you demonstrate your work, while sharing lots of details. Your videos are very educational! Thanks!

[sharlesb]

I am always amazed at how you can take the ugliest piece of furniture and turn it into the most gorgeous, elegant piece. WOW!

[countesscable]

I absolutely LOVE the transformation of this piece. Beautiful. I’m trying to muster up the courage to transform a piece of my furniture!

[catcar]

Great lesson on finish choices. This raw wood is so pretty. My device screen is reading a blue in the paint which I am loving. It's a beauty Angie.🌷🌷

[martiakatz]

I cannot believe how you turned this unsightly old piece into the most beautiful dresser, well done.

[robynduplooy]

I admire just how much love and attention you give to the wood! I know how much work that is!

[tjdeleon]

Love how you rounded the corners. I also like how simple your color choices are and that you give a pro/con on each product.
