I was curious and had two very cool but horribly painted chairs I had gotten for $5 a piece. I went for the white milk paint and LOVED it. I gave one of the chairs to my daughter and kept one for myself and today they still look like they did the day I painted them. I've been a milk paint lover ever since. I do think they is a bit of a learning curve due to the consistency of the paint. I picked it up in about five minute. Also, if you make a mistake with the milk paint, it is no big deal and quite easy to fix.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149588322029389324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556594343149477199.post-39148338243867922592012-02-24T14:28:10.960-08:002012-02-24T14:28:10.960-08:00Your find turned out very well, perfectly chippy.Your find turned out very well, perfectly chippy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533933625825629350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556594343149477199.post-16976012969734342932012-02-23T20:16:41.689-08:002012-02-23T20:16:41.689-08:00Very pretty.

I've never painted with milk paint. But am wondering if it in fact has milk IN IT? <br /><br />All that aside. I love the dresser in it's chippy glory! I would have faced opposition from the Honey, had I tried to do that to a perfectly good painted piece! <br /> <br />I may try something like this on my little linen chest o'drawers in my kitchen! <br /><br />have a great weekend!
