Sweet Pickins Milk Paint, Sweetwater Heritage

Sweet Pickins Milk Paint – Sweetwater

Milk paint in powder form | Shade: Sunflower
Natural – VOC-free – food safe – from the USA

Sweetwater is a soft gray-blue with a cool, tranquil aura—a shade reminiscent of bodies of water at dawn. Elegant, understated, yet full of character, this shade is particularly suitable for rooms with clean lines or furniture that should subtly stand out. The shade is available exclusively in the Sweet Pickins Boutique line .

Like all Sweet Pickins Milk Paint shades, Sweetwater is made from an old-fashioned recipe—all natural ingredients , without solvents or artificial additives. The milk paint comes in powder form and is easily mixed with warm water —thin or thick, depending on the desired effect.

A color for quiet rooms, Nordic clarity or the modern country house style.

☆ Made from natural raw materials , completely VOC-free and biodegradable
☆ Food safe – therefore also ideal for children’s furniture or toys
☆ In powder form – so the consistency can be individually adjusted: from thin like a glaze to thick for textured surfaces
☆ Can be used directly on untreated wood; for sealed surfaces, the addition of Extra-Bond is recommended
☆ Often develops slight flaking or hairline cracks when drying, which is typical of the vintage and shabby look

For the farmhouse style:

If you prefer the classic farmhouse look , apply the paint in a medium thickness and work with light wear—through sanding, layering, or deliberate chipping. The paint can be protected with wax or a matte varnish at the end, depending on how much wear the piece will be subjected to.
