The Old Fashioned Milk Paint Company Review

Did I mention my new love for milk paint?????

I got a new laptop about a year ago and since then it has sit on a small, crappy, table, squeezed between the printer and a baby monitor. There was hardly any room, and poor hubby thought we would hear something crash down at any point. I knew I needed something to take its place. I didnt want to go the normal desk route becuase its in our bedroom and didnt want it to feel "officey" soooooo I found this cool dresser on a re-sale site for $25 which included delivery!! I also knew I wanted to add some color. Hubby kept pushing for black, but we have a TON of black furniture. Our bedroom set is actually a dark almost black and we have accents of blue and brown so I knew I wanted blue.. 

We were able to talk The Old Fashioned Milk Paint Company into trying their paint. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way it turned out!

Hubby sanded it down when I was at work. I knew I wanted to take 2 drawers
out and use as shelves.

We bought plywood for about $2 a sheet and cut to size. 

We used Soldier Blue and mixed with Snow White. We also used the Daddy
Van's beeswax as a protective top coat. 

The paint went on so nice! We didn't even need to put on a second coat.

The master sander/painter/waxer ;)

Taaa Daaaaa!!!

LOVE the way this turned out! We still want to get baskets for the shelves but
such a beautiful piece.

Works great as a new desk!

I love that this is a piece unique and something you cant just go buy in a store. The color is beautiful and the wax really brings it out while leaving a protective coat.
