Milk Paint Girl

I adore how this vintage cabinet came out. Just subtle chipping on the minty blue green milk paint. This one would be a keeper if my house wasn't so small

Black milk paint empire dresser. Love the subtle chippiness on this one

Before and after
I used chalk paint on this one. My theory is I only use milk paint on true wood antique dressers. This is where chalk paint does it's magic newer pieces

Finished this buffet up as well.Since Christmas It's painted in standard white with french grey underneath. I used some h**p oil to get some resisting and had to spray the piece twice with shellac to get the tannins for bleeding through..
Sealed it with a combo of dark tung oil and citrus solvent. I used espresso burning paste for the details.

New Blog post.. before and after

To each his or her own when it comes to style. I tend to like super chippy distressed or just pulled out of a barn look. That is why I guess I like mlk paint so much. I like when it chips in random...
