COLOUR WASH BATHROOM CRATES SHELVES

How to create bathroom crate shelves featuring Rust-Oleum Colour Wash Paint

We upcycled wooden wine crates to create inexpensive colour wash bathroom shelves! Fill them with your favourite toiletries and admire your handy work while soaking in the tub.

Spruce up interiors using a new twist on a classic painting technique with Rust-Oleum Colour Wash paint.

This fashionable, pearlescent stain (available in four shades) lightly tints wood, adding bright pops of colour while still displaying the woods natural grain. By adding beautiful translucent colour to bare or unpainted wood you can add texture, dimension and natural paint layers to your piece.
