a poly finish on them and are shiny. i would love to see them when they are done.
can you distress the furniture after it is stained? will is look like a piece that is painted then distressed? or is the wood stained permanently? i love the idea of doing this. i was going to paint my kitchen table/chairs until i came across this site. now i’m staining them.
hi sue – i haven’t done it myself, but i think it would distress beautifully. i would experiment by buying a small can of the stain and apply it on a scrap piece of wood to see.
thank you so much for this post.!
