Day 19: milk paint as a stain

I can feel Spring in the air...can't you? Well, almost.

When I think of Spring, I start thinking about projects and I have a great idea for a couple chairs I've been saving for a rainy (Spring) day.
 
For a while, I have wanted to use Milk Paint as a stain on raw wood. So, on Tuesday, I grabbed one of our leftover paints and added a cup of water to it.
 
 
I purchased a raw wood bread board at Michael's ages ago, got out my cheapo foam brush and voila...



It soaked in beautifully and showed the wood grain quite nicely.

 
 
Now I want to get out all of my raw wood pieces and stain them! I think I'll do those chairs in ironstone or grain sack?
 
Bye for now,
 
Erica
