How to paint bedroom furniture?
Is milk paint suitable for bedroom furniture? I read that it will chip off even if sealed. Thanks!

But milk paint designed to give you a rustic easily chippy and distressed look.
You could also chalk paint
I've had quite a few very old 30s farm house pieces painted with milk paint without a chip in sight. I like the patina of milk paint, and the colors are soft and beautiful.
Hi! White washing with watered down paint or any color washing would also work. The milk paint I used in the past worked best on unfinished wood. Good luck!
Yes it is there is a additive you could Dd to the paint to make it stick better sold at home depot. Make sure to wSh down the furniture first with Murphys oil soap to get all old push off then let it dry completely. And then paint.
Al the bedroom furniture I've painted that I KNEW needed to be as tough as possible I always ended up using an oil based paint. There are a lot less color options but it holds up so much better than any water based paint I've ever tried.
I would go with regular paint rather than milk or chalk paint for durability. In general if it is in good shape you can scuff with steel wool, clean with TSP or alcohol, then prime and paint. I've used regular wall paint with great results but you can also purchase furniture paint. I love Painter's Touch.
I have used chalk paint on MANY pieces of furniture with GREAT success.
It is so long as you prep the furniture first by sanding and priming. If the pieces are prepped properly first, you shouldn't have a chipping issue.
I would not use milk paint or chalk paint. I would use a spray painter and paint with a good latex paint from Sherwin Williams of Benjamin Moore. They can help you pick out the exact color and with latex you do not need a sealer
You can use a milk paint but an oil based paint or a good latex will hold up better.

Good question. I seem to see chalk paint used more frequently. I hope someone has the proper guidance to offer.
I think it is just okay to use milk paint. There is an available additive for this kind of paint.
