Front Porch Styling with Farah Merhi, of Inspire Me! Home Decor

I bought a green wreath and added fuchsia cherry blossoms to make the flowers in my planters. Here’s how it all came out! What do you think? Enjoy from Farah Merhi of Inspire Me! Home Decor 🌸🌺
Bleaching Wood Tutorial
How to Bleach Wood: Bleaching will only work on bare wood, so you’ll need to strip and/or sand the wood down to its natural state first. Wear a mask and gloves and work in a well-ventilated area. Eye protection is also helpful Pour bleach in a glass container, dip the rag and wipe it on the wood evenly. Let dry and repeat as necessary. I usually do 3-6 coats for best results. For darker wood species you can also use bleach made specifically for wood. Once the wood is completely dry, wipe on a solution of half vinegar, half water to neutralize the wood before staining. Do not, I repeat, do not mix bleach and vinegar - this creates a toxic gas! Finally give your piece a quick sand since the wood grain will have raised a bit. Now you’re ready to finish however you want! I’ve tried
