Miss Mustard Seed Kitchen Scale Dresser

Let’s talk about milk paint, shall we?

I love the look of milk paint.  I love its unpredictability and how easy it is to use.  I think the “chippiness” of milk paint is wonderful.  If you haven’t used it I encourage you to try it.  The only drawback is that if left unsealed the paint will continue to chip and come off.  Sealing isn’t hard, just use a durable wax.

For this dresser I used the color Kitchen Scale.  It’s a soft country blue that looks great on just about anything.

For a project this size I used about a cup of paint.  It took two coats in most areas three in some.  The paint is very easy to apply and cleans out of your brush easily as well.

I then sealed with clear wax and “highlighted” various areas with dark wax.  My client is going to use this as an entertainment center for her new flatscreen television.
