Kitchen island and beams
http://www.brushstrokesbymaryanne.com

We added an antique glaze to the island. Beams started out as white high gloss. We painted and waxed them to transform them into very realistic old wooden beams.

cchisenhall Actually I dont cut on mine anyway, I always use a cutting board on top of it. What could I do, I want to darken mine alittle and then seal it but unsure of products to use, anyone know?
18 months ago ·
bepsf Stain to darken and polyurethane to seal for that glossy appearance

If you're doing it yourself tho, You need to be really careful w/ Polyurethane to ensure that the wood is absolutely dust free - otherwise, any dust, hair or dirt will be in your finish.

Kelly Porter This looks like a custom finish, but a similar color to try is Vanilla Milkshake OC-59 by Benjamin Moore.
