Picture of Paint It White (Because All Rustic Things Are White)
I used a sponge. Not a fancy paint sponge — a kitchen one. And you know what? It worked great. I dabbed on two uneven coats of white acrylic paint. No need to aim for perfection. Rustic means “charmingly imperfect,” not “I ran out of patience.” By the end of it, I had white fingers, a vaguely textured board, and a growing sense of smugness. So far, so good.
