How to lighten a pine ceiling??

Question

i have a pine ceiling in my kitchen and over the years it has naturally gotten darker. now i think its too dark and would like to lighten it somehow. what is the best way to lighten it?

Answer 1

Ace Hardware (and, I am sure several other similar stores) carry a "Wood Brightener".  That should work for you if it is unfinished wood.  If it has a finish on it then you may need to strip and re-finish.
