Layers of milk paint were applied to this antique potato bin to simulate years of chippy goodness. A first layer of Miss Mustard Seed's 'Grainsack' was applied, followed by a layer of 'Lucketts Green', followed by another layer of 'Grainsack'. No bonding agent was used in order to embrace "natural chips and peels over the years." A light sanding revealed hues from underlying colors. Light and dark wax were used to enhance the "aged" patina and General Finishes 'Nutmeg' gel stain rounded out the natural, loved-over-time look on the top.
