How to whitewash trim
Set up your working area.
Cover the floor with a drop cloth to keep dust and whitewash off of it. Open screened windows and doors to provide ventilation.
Set all of your supplies in a corner of the room so you know where everything is. If you don't have a lot of experience painting, use painter's tape to tape off areas you don't want to get whitewash, like the walls.
