Weathered Wood Accelerator Growth Ruler

French Provincial Nightstand Modern Makeover

This nightstand is part of a charming French Provincial style bedroom set originally crafted by Malcolm Furniture here in Canada years ago. One of my valued customers entrusted me with giving this piece a fresh, updated look. She envisions the entire set transformed into a soothing medium grey, perfectly complementing her new home's décor. Given the nightstand's beautiful, solid construction, it was an easy and rewarding decision to invest in revitalizing this quality piece, ensuring it continues to bring beauty and functionality to its new setting.

Here is a weathered wood look growth ruler, follow as I share the steps to create it.

I used a 1" X 8" X 6'L spruce board from the pile. Check out ones done in an aged wood look & a blue one as well as an aged grey painted ruler,

Using Varathane's weathered wood accelerator I brushed on the first coat.

I thought I would use it on a sanded geometric coffee table too, here is the first coating on.

The first coat is dry, unique looking right?

Here is that first coat on both pieces dry, different wood = different colors. I decided I did not care for it on the coffee table as indeed it does give a weathered black mark look.
