    Default Timber ceiling treatment

    We have a Tassie oak timber panelled ceiling throughout our house which has been varnished. Is there any way to give a limed affect (to lighten the colour but still retain the wood look and texture)without stripping off the varnish finish?
    Is it possible to add a white colourant to varnish?

    You could try a light lime wash, but I wouldn't recommend it. Unless skilfully done it'd look terrible.

    Been there, tried that, screwed up.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
