Milk Paint Vintage Cabinet With OFMP
The cabinet is well built and the perfect shape and size to for my bathroom, but it was pretty grungy and needed a make-0ver. I wanted to make it have a layered look with milk paint, so I first painted the entire cabinet in Bayberry Green by the Old Fashioned Milk Paint. Since the cabinet was dry and old there was little chipping, which was what I wanted.

The get the next color to chip off and reveal the undercoat, I rubbed candle wax on random spots and all the edges.
The wax creates a natural barrier and the paint doesn't stick.
I wanted a soft beachy blue for the next color, so I mixed Federal Blue with Oyster White to get the color I wanted.
I painted the cabinet with two coats of paint and then using my scrapper I scrapped off the flakes and got the chippiness I was going for.
The last step was to seal the cabinet with clear wax and add a crystal knob.
