Soldier Blue

I started using milk paint a few months ago 

and I love the different finishes you can achieve.

This side table started off like this...

I first did a base coat of Soldier Blue from 

The Old Fashioned Milk Paint Company.

I didn't want a chippy finish so I added Extra Bond

in my first coat of paint.

Then I did a second coat of Soldier Blue

without the Extra Bond.

 Then I added a light coat of the color Driftwood making sure that the blue still showed in some places.

 I used a wet rag to remove a little more

 of the Driftwood in some places.

The Soldier Blue was beautiful on its own,

but I love combining it with Driftwood!

 This one might be hard to watch go!!!
