General Finishes Milk Paint

So we decided to go with the milk paint when redoing a small cabinet for our TV stuff for 2 reasons: 1. we just happened to be at the store so it was very convenient. 2. We were able to buy it by the pint and so we knew we wouldn't have a giant thing left over.

We got the paint in Basil, and it is a pretty good color. We were also able to use the same pint (every last ounce of it but didn't need another one) for a second shelf thst we forgot we had as we were cleaning out the garage. Now they match and make a very simple statement.

For the first one (cabinet) I finished it with the Annie Salon clear wax, because I loved the feeling of the wax and I already had it on hand.

For the second one I bought a quart of the finish glaze to cover it, the quart mostly for the project that I currently have in progress in the garage. Progress meaning one coat on one drawer.....so we will save thst for another day.

I also like the way that these turned out I love the soft green color, how easy it was, and that I could spend a little less on paint and not have some unused left over....it was a win win.
