This piece had a very strong pink/red tone that just wasn’t working with the look I wanted. Instead of covering up the beautiful wood grain, I decided to bleach it to lighten and neutralize the color.
After two applications of my fav wood bleach, the difference is incredible! The red tones are dramatically reduced, leaving behind a much softer, more natural wood color while still showcasing all of the gorgeous maple grain.
Bleaching wood can be a great option when you love the character of a piece but want a lighter, more updated look. Stay tuned for this finished makeover!
