Milkin' it

We wanted to show

how milk paint can be used

for a moderate-to-non distressed look

This amazing piece was 

selected for a particular client

We custom mixed the color

 

The lines and details are simply amazing

 

As you can see from the photos,

Milk Paint can provide full coverage...

 

We did use an additive to help it bond

(the piece was wood, but had varnish)

We did not strip or sand the piece

 

We used Annie Sloan's Craqueleur

over the Milk Paint

and it worked great

 

Milk paint distresses easily

but requires a bit more effort

if you add the bonding agent

 

 To complete our "experiment"

we added a touch of gilding wax

to tie in the awesome original hardware
 

We're thrilled with how this piece turned out...

and equally thrilled to find that 

our favorite products all play nice together!
