Lauren from Bless’er House shared the best tip ever for anyone who’s ever dreaded sanding furniture before staining it.
She walks you through exactly how to stain over already-stained wood without all the dusty mess of sanding.
The cabinet she worked on had a super orange finish originally, but after her magic, it looked like a high-end restoration.
She chose a dark walnut gel stain that gave it that rich, classic look without hiding the wood grain.
She applied it with a brush and then wiped it off for that natural finish.
Plus, she sealed it with a satin topcoat to make it durable enough for real-life use.
It’s seriously one of those “why didn’t I try this sooner?” kind of projects.
Lauren even breaks down product links and tips to make sure you get her pro-level results.
If you’ve got furniture that needs a facelift, but you’re not up for sanding, this method is a must-try.
