Are you ready to give your furniture a total glow-up? Today is the day! Introducing THE HOMESTEAD COLLECTION! We are officially pulling back the curtain on three stunning new additions to the Dixie Belle No Pain Gel Stain lineup.
If you’ve been looking for that perfect balance of warmth and depth without the "heavy" look of traditional stains, you are going to fall in love with Caramel, Cedar, and Chestnut. These oil-based stains are designed to provide deep pigment and easy application, making them a staple for any DIY furniture flipper or home decorator. PLUS! You can apply these right over top of existing stain finishes, no sanding needed!
Meet the New Shades
Caramel: Golden & Glowing Inspired by sun-drenched wood, Caramel is a rich golden brown with soft honey undertones. It brings instant warmth to any piece. If you want your furniture to feel "lit from within," this is your color.
Cedar: Naturally Grounded Cedar is a medium warm brown featuring soft reddish undertones that mimic the look of freshly cut wood. It’s the ultimate choice for a natural, organic feel that doesn't feel too dark or overpowering.
Chestnut: Classic & Rich For a high-end, sophisticated finish, look no further than Chestnut. This is a deep, earthy brown with subtle wood-toned undertones. It offers the elegance of a classic hardwood finish while remaining airy enough to keep your decor feeling fresh.
Project Spotlight: Real Results
To show you just how transformative these colors are, I put them to work on two very different pieces. Here is how they look in action:
The Cedar Chest
I decided to use the Cedar No Pain Gel Stain on this beautiful chest. I wanted to highlight the wood grain and give it a sturdy, grounded presence. The reddish undertones in the Cedar stain really brought out the character of the wood, making it look like a high-end heirloom piece. It’s the perfect "earthy" brown that doesn't feel too heavy for a large piece of furniture.
The Chestnut Teak Tray
Next, I took a teak tray and gave it a makeover using Chestnut No Pain Gel Stain. Even on the naturally tight grain of teak, the Chestnut added a layer of earthy richness that is absolutely breathtaking. It’s deep, it’s moody, and it perfectly complements the natural beauty of the wood without hiding it. It's an instant classic!
Why Use No Pain Gel Stain?
If you’re new to the world of staining, Dixie Belle’s No Pain Gel Stain is a game-changer. Because it’s a gel formula, it gives you much more control than traditional liquid stains.
No Blotching: The thick consistency ensures an even application.
Deep Pigment: You get rich color in fewer coats.
Easy Application: Simply apply with a lint-free cloth or an applicator pad and wipe away the excess!
