    Blue Milk Paint Table With Stencil

    This post may contain affiliate links

    This project features pre-mixed milk paint. The blue milk paint table turned out great. I gave the top of the table a barnwood look and then added a stenciled design to the blue part of the table.

    The room challenge was definitely a challenge. The 10 members of the Plaid Creators team live all over the country. We emailed back and forth and talked on Facebook about our individual projects trying to color coordinate, select themes, and more.

    We also shipped everything to Plaid Headquarters in Atlanta. That meant I needed to select a piece of furniture that would ship well and also fit the style of the room.

    This is the project table. It was the right style but the wrong color.

    FolkArt Pre-Mixed Milk Paint

    I painted the base of the table with FolkArt Milk Paint, color Inkwell.

    I applied two coats of the milk paint. The FolkArt Milk Paint brush is a must have. Makes the job so easy. Cleans up well too.

    One of my favorite things about the milk paint, besides the fact that it's pre-mixed,  is the flat finish. I decided not to wax or oil the milk paint. The base of the table isn’t going to have stuff sitting on it like the top will. I think it’s fine without a sealer.

    To get the rustic weathered barnwood look I applied the Barnwood Wax. The table top was perfect but the base of the table was begging for something else. I pulled out the FolkArt Bohemian Stencil pack and selected this stencil to add to the side.

    I also did the stenciling with the FolkArt Milk Paint. Did you know you can stencil with milk paint? You can. I mixed two colors together for the stencil design……Milk White and Monument Gray.

    I just stenciled a bit of the design on  two sides of the table. The two-tone finish was perfect and I didn’t want to over do it with the stenciling.

    Remember not to make your stenciling look all perfect and everything. Then it looks manufactured and store bought.

    The Inkwell color is so pretty and the barnwood finish on the top is perfection. Patting myself on the back. You guys know I do that a lot. I’m smiling too.

    Do you want a peek at the table in the room reveal?
