Milk Paint is one of my favorite paints to work with! Learn how to use Milk Paint for your furniture.
In its most basic form, it is a simple pigmented powder that you mix with water to make a thin paint.
Mixing milk paint is as easy as mixing a boxed brownie mix! Simply measure out equal parts paint and water, add to a container, stir until combined.
Step one is to clean your piece well with a degreaser, then lightly scuff with sandpaper.
Typically, I reserve milk paint for those great wood pieces where I want to see the texture of the original wood still show through.
