Whitewashing is a type of surface covering that is used as a sealant typically on farms for the inside of barns and chicken coops. Traditional whitewash is made by mixing powdered lime with water and provides a paint or sealant that is non toxic and safe for animals. Many people like the look of whitewash because it’s a thinner paint that allows the natural wood grain to show. It has become a trend to create a whitewash look for household furniture. Although traditional whitewash isn’t a good choice for furniture because it easily rubs off, you can achieve the whitewash look for your furniture by thinning latex paint with water. | Whitewashing is a type of surface covering that is used as a sealant typically on farms for the inside of barns and chicken coops.
