< Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint Trophy I was a little intimidated mixing this paint at first, but once I started, it was super easy. I hand mixed my paint and water ratio of 50/50, but next time I will use a paint to water ratio of 60/40 to thicken the paint a bit more and a hand mixer or blender to mix as they sug- gest. My hand-mixed paint was just a little clumpy, but I ended up liking the
texture in the end. The paint required two coats and turned out lovely. I liked the fact that I didn’t have to sand before using this paint, and I really love the blue grey shade (Trophy). I would use this paint on other projects around my house.
< Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Old White I didn’t have to sand the frame before I painted it with the Annie Sloan paint. It went on thick in just one coat, but I ended up doing two coats for better coverage. In my opinion, this paint is the perfect thickness. The paint dried super quickly, and I love the smoothness and color (Old White) of this paint. After the paint dried, I brushed on the wax, which gave it a nice buttery finish. Then I lightly sanded the edges for an aged look. I love this Annie Sloan paint! I have already started scouring my house to gather more items to coat with this paint.
