What is Milk Paint?

GET TO LOVE OUR MILK PAINT!

 

The Old-Fashioned Milk Paint Company has been faithfully producing a genuine Milk Paint as close as possible to the old primitive, home-made paint mixed on the back porch with skim milk or buttermilk, crushed limestone and pigments found around clay pits, and mineral colors crushed and powdered.

 

The look and feel of a surface painted today with milk paint is no different than what was found on furniture, walls and floors in country houses centuries ago.

 

Our Milk Paint is used by artists and craftsmen to create decorative results that cannot be achieved with other paints.
