Milk paint comes in powdered form. You just add water and mix it up, then paint it on. You can play around with consistency, but in general milk paint is much thinner than regular paint. I find it almost always takes two coats, and once applied, it is super chalky. On unfinished wood, the water in the paint will bring up the grain and give a rustic feel. This is a look I’m hoping to achieve with all the wood trim in The Shack. I think the matte finish and rustic texture will be really great for a mountain house!
