Whitewashed

I've been super into the pickled or whitewashed look lately so I about died when I saw this Dorothy Draper bench on eBay a couple weeks ago. It was like $700 for just the one, so I didn't bite. But as they say, inspiration is free.

How great is the red with the glaze?! This would be genius on anything with pretty moulding - a mirror, a side table, a little writing desk...

If you're looking for some suggestions on how to get a similar look, I highly recommend Ralph Lauren's technique glaze in Sunfade (which is still available at Home Depot). Or add a bit of white paint to clear Polycrylic.
