White Side Table

This distressed little side table is painted with flour sack white milk paint and sealed with a clear wax finish. I wanted a chippy look for this piece, so I did not use bond with my milk paint this time. It would be so cute as a bedside table or living room side table. I love how vintage and chippy this piece turned out.

Chalkboard & Pallet Shelf

I have been wanting to make a chalkboard for awhile. I finally decided to take and old picture frame under my bed and turn it into the chalkboard I've been wanting. I painted the frame using milk paint in the color galvanized. I sanded it down to distress it and finished it off with a clear paste wax. My husband painted the board behind it with chalkboard paint and even created the message design on the board. His skills with font are much better than mine, I must say!

The pallet shelf was put together by my husband. We had a hole in our bathroom wall, so we needed something to cover up that spot. For this piece, I painted it in milk paint creamy. We added rusty knobs we found in a very old house that used to be on the property of my husband's family. I'm glad we were able to snag them before the house was torn down. They are perfect for this piece. This was our first pallet creation, and I'm really excited about doing more projects with pallets.

Gray Coffee Table

 Coffee Table in milk paint "galvanized"

Wow! I just realized I have not posted since nearly a year ago. It feels great to be painting again. I have switched to milk paint, and I absolutely love it. It's true that it is super easy to work with and the result is just perfection.

This was a regular brown coffee table before I transformed it using the color called galvanized. I simply gave it two coats, sanded it down, and finished it off with a dark wax as its finish. It was a really fun project that has me hooked on milk paint and wax.I love the way this gray pairs with pinks and burgundies. I can't wait to see this color again on some of my future pieces.
