  • My inspiration, Jackson Pollock's August Rhythm
  • I used paints that I already had in the garage. Black, white primer, pale blue and gray.

Jackson Pollock Inspired Pillows

Use Hemp Oil & Milk Paint to Create a Chippy, Old Painted Finish

Looking for a safe and easy way to add old patina to a piece of furniture?

I love the look of chippy old furniture, but those authentic finishes can be hard to find. ...»

And quite often, they're not safe because the paint used contains lead.

That's why I love milk paint. It's safe and non-toxic, and it's so easy to rcreate a chippy, crusty painted finish that looks like it's hundreds of years old.

I used Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint in Kitchen Scale and Tricycle on this vintage buffet I found.

The secret to the chipped and peeling finish is hemp oil, which I sandwiched between the two layers of paint.

You can read more about the hemp oil resist technique on my blog.

  • Just a couple of days and a gallon of Behr Semi Transparent Stain in Pinto White and I got the soft white wash look I was going for!
  • Here's a glimpse of the railings before ...they gave the screen porch an unfinished feel...
  • After washing & letting the railings dry overnight, I used a small roller to apply the stain.Some sections of wood took the stain better than others-so I had to "eye-ball" I rolled & gently wiped off some of the stain till I liked it!
  • The process was easy but tedious because I really had to step back & evaluate small sections before moving on. Bindi said to tell you she was worn out by the whole project! xo
