I love the look of old french country armoires but can't afford an old one. I have ordered a new one in unfinished pine and am looking to get that old world rich finished look. What kind of stain,finish and or distressing techniques should I use? I don't want the piece to look new but I am hesitant to beat an expensive piece of furniture with a chain! HELP!!!!!!!!!
