Messy Milkpaint!

I know, I know...
no Chalk Paint???

Milk Paint is def not perfect for EVERY project...
but it was perfect for THIS project

Milk Paint requires prep work
including bare wood or primer
and sometimes an additive to help it stick

You have to mix it up
and use it up...
(it doesn't keep)

I would not use it, say, on a Frenchy piece
that had an original lacquered finish...

But on heavily grained raw wood,
it's ideal

We went VIBRANT on this piece...
the lines were so clean and simple
we thought a shot of bold color
would be fabulous

Like chalk paint,
milk paint can look chalky (or milky!)
so this piece was waxed several times
for a deep, rich luster
and color

The finish is silky smooth...

It will be hard to part with this one...
I *sorta* considered keeping it
for my youngest son's room
but he wants a black dresser
(sigh)

so this one is up for grabs on Etsy
