Such fun with Milk Paint

A few of you have asked how I created this chippy look on the demi-lune table I posted earlier in the week.

Honestly, it was so easy, the hardest part was choosing which colours to use.

For this piece, I selected colours that would complement the terrazzo effect top. Just wait till you see me doing that, I was like a pig in muck🐷

Base colours

⭐️Hotel Robe - white
⭐️Casa Rosa - coral
⭐️Velvet Palm - turquiouse

Top Colour

⭐️Terrarium - dark teal green

I mixed each Milk Paint Powder with water, roughly a 50/50 mix for the base colours. I then randomly applied these three colours over the skirt and legs using a chip brush. This was so easy, I wasn't looking for a perfect blend, just a coverage of contrasting colours.

I left the piece to dry for 30 minutes, I then applied a coat of Fusion Beeswax all over the painted area using a lint-free cloth.

For the top coat I went for a slightly thicker consistency and to be honest I wasn't bothered about having a few lumps in the paint either, because this just added to the overall aged look I wanted to achieve.

This time I painted the underneath of the table as well and painted over all of the base coat. I then used a hairdryer to dry the paint causing it to crackle and chip. This process is so easy, the paint does all the ageing for you so you don't have to agonise and think about how to create an authentic aged chippy look.

I left the piece until the following day, then applied another coat of wax, but this time I mixed it with some brown ageing powders to add more texture and grunge, you can't beat a bit of grunge I say.

Next up I'll show you how I did the top.
