Milk Paint

Milk paint bears that name because of the casein it contains. It is the ideal paint to create the hot colors that our ancestors’ furniture had. Thanks to the 45 Canadian historic colors, many combinations are possible to create a contry style finish.

It is in that way that antique finishes comprising many colors are obtained. The antique finish obtained will remind you of the charm of the past in the same way that our ancestors obtained that finish.
