Driftwood Finish Obsession

I dream of living by the sea someday when I’m old and gray. Until then, I’ll just have to mix some coastal elements into our North Texas home.
One of my favorite finishes mimics the look of driftwood. You see it gracing the pages of Pottery Barn to Ballard Designs. There’s something so authentic about it, even though in reality its all mass produced in China.

I’m on a design quest to break the refinishing code on this look without spending hours of physical labor sanding down to the natural wood. Stay tuned!!!
