I have dark knotty pine and I would love to paint it but I dont want to completely get rid of the knots,would like to keep some of the charm and warmth. I know I can white wash them but from what I have seen it covers all the knots. Can someone please tell me how to , I guess, "antique" knotty pine?? »

Deb O We bought a house that had tongue and groove knotty pine that had darkened to a deep amber color. We sanded the walls (chemical strippers did not work) with a belt sander followed by an orbital sander, then stained the walls with a white oil stain from Ace Hardware. All the knots are visible, but muted. The effect is a naturally bright light looking wood.

Melissa Elizabeth I would try white latex paint diluted with a just a bit of water rubbed on lightly (in a horizontal motion) with a rag..just on a small sample section. Easy and inexpensive...See how you like it and if you don't just sand right off of your sample section!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Leave it: Rustic, textured brick floors are your friend, especially in a mud room or entryway. Why? They pretty much hide almost all dirt. Paint these babies white and say hello to a life of ulra-dirty floors.
For smaller spaces, it beats out a bulky sofa.

“groove knotty pine that had darkened to a deep amber color.

All the knots are visible, but muted. The effect is a naturally bright light” “paint the knotty pine with a dilute eggshell paint. If the knots do not show to your satisfaction, go over the knots in the next few days with a burnt umber or some color that is satisfying. Dab it on maybe use cheesecloth, or do like the old faux artists used to do and put some dilute color on your thumb”
