The white wash recipe was Ben Moore's Aura in Sugar Cookie cut 50% with water, brushed on over #2 pine tongue and groove boards and wiped back off shortly there after. We had to treat it with a white glove policy while installing it as we pre-finished it. While we did not then add a clear coat of poly over it here we have on other projects in order to cut down on finger printing.

The wood is resawn Douglas Fir and the finish is a solid color stain by Olympic called "outside white". A tannin stain blocking coat should have been applied first -- this would have prevented the dark bleed through. So -- that is how you can create this look -- don't use a tannin block and at first the wall will appear white but in time, and if memory serves, this did not take more than a few months, the tannins will naturally bleed through . If you are worried it won't happen -- i would try a sample and wait and see.

I specified the finish as "white wash, diluted 1:3" which lessens the amount of pigment left on the surface, but takes out most of the yellow tone of the pine, and lightens it. The contractor typically referred to the finish as "pickling", which is a slightly different product. I still think it is, in fact, my spec, because the pickling usually has a different undertone. The finish mill products outlet will be able to show you the difference between white wash and pickling.
