Layer Your Custom Milk Paint
With your personalized paint colour ready, apply the first coat over your furniture piece. This initial layer provides the base for the unique finish you’re aiming for.

Patience during the drying process ensures your creation turns out just as you envisioned.
Seal and Enhance
Seal your project with hemp oil to protect the finish and enhance its colours and texture. This essential step brings out the true beauty of your custom milk paint colour. After applying the hemp oil, gently remove any excess with a lint-free cloth or towel. This ensures a smooth, polished finish that showcases your unique creation.
Distress for Distinctiveness
To craft a truly one-of-a-kind look, focus on distressing the areas that would naturally experience wear and tear over time. Concentrate on hinges, door handles, corners, and furniture legs. Think about all the places it would get natural wear over years of being touched. This step adds a personal touch to your piece and highlights the individuality of your custom colour.
