I distressed. I waxed.
It's OTT for sure. But it appeals to the frustrated set designer in me. So here's a sneaky peak in bad sunday evening artificial light. Until I can finish waxing and show you the whole thing!

Sneaky peak at the tv cabinet in milk paint
I thoroughly regretted having used up the remainder of my milk paint on this piece. All the way through I hated it and even wanted to paint over it in emulsion (latex in american) even though it would have meant that the milk paint was a mere primer albeit an expensive one imported from Canada. It was dreadful to use. My first 2 cups turned to porridge. (I think the water was too warm!) I swore never again would I use it. I never got the opaque coverage I wanted. Then I ran out of the damn stuff and could do no more.
I distressed. I waxed.
And I fell a little bit in love...

Ooh, I like the look of the milk paint. I thought of trying some of the Homestead paint a while back, then changed my mind, but having seen your item, it looks like it gives a really good 'chippy' look.
ReplyDeleteI'd say it's a paint for painters! And even then it's totally tricky! But the chippiness is cool. I think you might get it chippier if you put it on thick but this is only my second time. I will have to order some more!
