Milk paint is the finish chosen by our Early American forefathers. It is a hand brushed, slightly crackled finish which is then top coated with a hand rubbed wax. Milk paint is organic, non-toxic, environmentally safe and very durable. It is made from natural materials such as milk, clay, lime and then is tinted with earth pigments. Its beauty is only surpassed by its durability. Today's milk paint is used by artists, architects, designers and wood craftsmen striving for a look that is authentic, durable and beautiful. Its durability makes it great for both residential and commercial use.
