**The color Tavern Green is the same color as In a Pickle on the Sweet Pickins Boutique Line**

 We would describe Tavern Green as a muted grass green.

This all-natural milk paint has been especially formulated for walls (but can definitely be used on more than just walls – its amazing on furniture!). From previously painted surfaces to new wallboard with joint compound, Farmhouse Finishes Safe Paint is self-priming and provides a flat, consistent finish. Water resistant once cured.

Farmhouse Finishes is a true milk paint which comes in a powder form.  Our Milk Paint is environmentally safe and non-toxic.  Our milk paint is 100% VOC free and is made with all natural earth materials.

– To make the paint, you simply mix the powder with warm water.  How far the paint goes will depend upon your painting technique, how thick/thin you mix the paint, how many coats you do and the contrast between the color your are painting compared to the piece your are painting.

2 oz. sample – covers approx 12 sq ft.

6 oz. pint – covers approx 36 sq ft.

12 oz. quart – covers approx 72 sq ft.

 – You may add the Extra Bond to make the paint more “elastic” and less brittle.  Extra Bond may also be helpful on extra shiny/slick surfaces for the best adhesion.  

 – This paint comes in a powder form, you can control how thick/thin you mix the paint.   You can use it as you would regular paint, thinner for a wash/stain or thicker to create texture.
– Paint colors can be mixed together to achieve your own custom colors.  You can also add white to lighten or black to darken.  Remember to keep your ratios if you want to recreate the color!
– You can use the same techniques for distressing and glazing milk paint as you would any other paint.  Don’t be afraid to experiment!

Full instructions on how to use our paint are included in packaging.
