Creamy Milk Paint Buffet: My Old Favorite
Remember I told you that my most favorite piece of furniture I ever painted was this gray hutch? Well, that’s my new favorite. But I never told you about my old favorite. The one before my new favorite! This one…
She wasn’t much to look at at first. And the finish was really bad. ! So bad in fact that I forgot to take a really good before pic. But I did get one after I sanded the top down to the wood and painted on one coat of Sweet Pickins Milk Paint in Creamy. I used the shellac technique for this one so that the dark stain wouldn’t bleed through the light color.
I stained the top in Minwax Dark Walnut. This is one of my favorite stain colors, it’s nice and dark. And I sealed the top with Minwax Polycrylic in Satin.
This piece still chipped quite a bit, despite using the shellac. Some pieces just play around like that.
I sealed this piece using clear wax to seal in all the chippy goodness.
This one didn’t last long when I took it to my retail space. It quickly became someone else’s favorite!
