Amanda Owen is using gallons of tea sprayed on freshly plastered walls to create an aged appearance in her Anty John's farmhouse restoration.
Amanda Owen is using gallons of tea to age the freshly plastered walls of Anty John's, her farmhouse restoration project in the Yorkshire Dales. The technique is featured in the latest episode of Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids. Using a spray gun, she applies large quantities of tea to the plaster to create a warmer, aged appearance that helps soften the look of new plaster and blend it with the historic surroundings.
The farmhouse, located close to the Owen family's home at Ravenseat, stood empty for decades before the family purchased it in 2020. The restoration has been a major undertaking for Amanda, Clive and their nine children, who have faced a series of challenges during the project. The tea-staining technique is one of several distinctive approaches being used during the restoration.
Other work is progressing on the property, with carpenters Dan and Philip laying oak floorboards as the building moves beyond major structural repairs into finishing stages. The family's aim is to bring the property back into use while retaining its traditional character.
