Driftwood Weathered Finish
Today I’m sharing a driftwood weathered finish that I used on 2 pallet wood shutters.
I was asked to do a product review for Driftwood Weathered Wood Finish
and I knew exactly what I was going to try it on!
I received a package and it contained 2 small packages. Of course I was concerned that it wouldn’t be enough to finish the shutters :) The directions said to mix one package with one cup of water. That’s what I did and it was enough to finish both shutters. Each package when mixed as directed will cover 25-35 square feet. Driftwood weathered wood finish is all natural and should be used on unfinished, untreated wood. It’s takes all the guess work out of creating a driftwood look. This was one of the fastest projects that I’ve ever done and I still one package left ;)
As you can see in the before photo the shutters are made from rough pallet wood with an orange tint. In the after, they are the perfect weathered gray.
Here’s a shot of the during, the process happens pretty fast! It darkens even more over the next 24 hours.
The gray tones are perfect, achieved in one afternoon.
I am very pleased with the outcome and I would recommend it. I received one package of Driftwood Weathered Wood Finish Product to Achieve Natural Driftwood Furniture with Aged Wood Appearance - enough to do 50 square feet. I have included my Amazon affiliate above.

Archivewow. that's amazing. they look so authentic. What are you going to do with the shutters?
Good question Laura...what am I going to do with those shutters. That how I roll ;)
Trying to click on your Pinterest link but there is no page there...
Bex, try to pin it again...my boards were down for a few minutes...due to an error that I made :)
Not to mention your shutters are terrific. Think I will pin to remember both the shutters and the process to weather them.
What an awesome product--I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing your review!
LOVE!
Jen, this was so easy! You would love it :)
Would this be good for a kitchen table, do you think? I'd need to seal it, I would imagine...

It would be great on a tabletop! Diane from In My Own Style did her table, right here http://inmyownstyle.com/2013/09/furniture-makeover-weathered-driftwood-furniture-finish.html
I want to try this, it seems so easy and the driftwood finish would fit perfectly in our home!
I just tried a process I found online and it worked and came out beautiful!;
I used Skater's Pond quick drying Gladden paint
Minwax Dark Walnut Stain
I purchased raw pine 1x6x12 and used a heavy chain and beat it slightly
I painted the board a thin coat of the Skater's Pond.Let dry, and sanded lightly.
I took an old tank top and ripped it up and used one piece to dip in the stain and wiped on and with a nice flat large piece in my left hand, wiped it off. The results were amazing!
I love that product and how authentic the weathered look is! And your shutters are wonderful, can't wait to see what you do with them:)
Thanks Wendi, I totally agree, it looks ver authentic! Have a great week!
