MILK PAINT RECIPE:
1/2 gallon skim milk
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup hydrated lime
color pigment
3 cups Plaster of Paris
-Mix 1/2 gallon skim milk and 1 cup white distilled vinegar in a bowl.
-Let sit for 2 hours or more. (I let mine sit overnight)
-Pour the mixture into a cheesecloth lined strainer. Rinse a bit with water. As it is straining, pour a half cup of hydrated lime (I used pickling lime) into the bowl.
-Gently squeeze out some of the liquid from the milk mixture. Put the mixture back into the bowl, with the lime, and mix thoroughly.
-Add color pigment.
Here is the link to some color pigment from Amazon: amzn.to/3k5KQIr
The other option is getting paint formula at your hardware store.
Mix this thoroughly.
-Add 3 cups Plaster of Paris. amzn.to/3yWXQ9I
-Mix until smooth. You can use a beater to get rid of any lumps
-Store in an airtight container!

I must admit I was skeptical at the beginning but you proved me wrong, once again. Loved when your son came and hugged you … you’ve raised such sweet boys Mary.
The caterpillar crawling around on the drawer 😍
Loved the hug from your Son, PRICELESS😊
Please send the rain here. British Columbia Canada is on fire. We were on Evacuation Alert but off now. Some of our friends have lots their homes. Please pray for rain for us! I love watching your videos & I get so many ideas. Thank You ❤

I have an old cook book of my grandma Combes’s, it was a farm bureau one. It had all these recipes for common things toothpaste, hand cream, those kind of things. I am going to write your recipe on there with your name. What a fun video!
Ohmygosh you should publish a cute little farmhouse cookbook with those recipes!!!
Please, publish. Even Etsy. Let us know.
I’ll have to do that thanks.
Yes publish 💕
Please publish.
Would love to have a copy
Your view is Serenity … like paradise with the rainfall! You amaze me with your many talents. The dresser turned out GREAT!
In the early 80's I worked for a company who did historic home renovations. Some of us girls made milk paint including boiled down blueberries. What a mess but what fun we had.
Love the dresser. Looks perfectly vintage.
You make my back hurt just watching you. Excellent work!
This was interesting. I remember my Gram telling me the barns used to be "painted" red - farmers couldn't buy paint so they used....left over milk, cows blood and lime = "barn red" paint 👌
I did not know that’s where the red came from! Makes sense.
Wow!
Love the character of the dresser :)
Recognized the Carolina wren singing while you were squeezing out the curd!
Love the rain sounds!
I really like that old piece of furniture. The way you painted it was just perfect. Just beautiful.
Your talent never ceases to amaze me ,you are incredible.I never knew paint could be homemade! I love how the dresser came out!
I like that smoky grey
So pretty. Funny to see you paint something dark instead of white! 😊
such a departure to see you painting in black!
My goodness Mary, I am consistently amazed by your instincts and ingenuity! Those drawer fronts and paint colour are so beautiful together!
I love how your piece turned out but more than that, I love how you followed up at the end to share your mistakes and experiences with us! Not many youtubers do that, Mary, and it helps us to keep an eye out for pitfalls when we are making products like milk paint at home. So appreciated that you did that!
I absolutely love how the dresser turned out, it is beautiful!
I look forward to your weekly videos so much! You are always a delightful person, so true and good about everything you do. I am always hoping for your continued, and well-deserved success in all the things you are trying. I am so impressed with all your technology. Just know that most of us out here just love you! You are a great business woman and you have achieved a wonderful balance with life, family and nature! So inspiring! May God bless you and your family.
I loved the dark walnut and black drawers. Turned out beautiful !!
You should patent your final paint recipe. I would buy it! The dresser is stunning, you brought it back to life.
The dresser looks really good. Putting the wallpaper liner in really steps it up.
First, I love how your life goes on while filming. Kids and husbands and cats coming and going. Grown sons hugging moms always gets to me. Second. If you try white and need to add a colorant (if it’s not white enough on it’s own) I have a cookie business where I decorate cookies with royal icing and I use titanium dioxide (food grade) in my icing to make it whiter. It’s a powder. It’s in lots of foods and other products. It super whitens.
Would it work in the washer?
@@grandaygain it’s not like a bleach. It’s more like a dye. I don’t know what it would do to fabric if that’s what you’re asking.
@@cindydolezal9362 That is what I am asking. Thank you for replying.
Ggod luck with your experiments!
@@grandaygain I’ll give it try! Might be the millenarian solution to yellowed clothes. Great idea!
It was a humble piece but now it is so lovely! I do like the darker color paint, and the wax finish made such a difference. I like that you left all the history of the chest stay, all the dings and gouges it earned through use. Thank you for doing all the research for us. Now--why buy commercial paint? We are in a serious drought where I live, so thank you for the soothing, peaceful sounds of rain. 🥰
I think you are such a cool lady. I love that you make mistakes and tell us about them. You are a very gifted lady that I truly admire. Thanks for the entertainment, God bless.
The dresser turned out beautifully. You should sell your own line of milk paint!
Its already on the shelves, It’s called chalk paint
The dresser turned out! Love it!
That piece of furniture turned out beautiful!
Love the dark colored furniture!!!
What a great video. I love that you experimented with making your own paint. You rock!
Love how the dresser turned out . It's beautiful
I wasn’t sure about the combination to begin with, but oh man, I love it!!! Well done.
Lovely Mary!
Particularly enjoyed being on your porch patio during the rain.
You have created a most inviting environment.
Well done Mary! Looks great and a truly authentic vintage look!
I didn't know curds could be used for paint. Brilliant!
Love the way it turned out, I LIKE OLD THINGS TOO, that's why I married my husband (he's 18yrs younger 🤣)..
One of the best pieces you’ve done.
The dresser turned out beautiful!!!
Love how the dresser turned out!
It turned out to be beautiful!! I love it! A wonderful second life for this old chest!👍😀
Mary! I was skeptical, but as usual, you absolutely rocked the casbah!
Adding plaster of Paris would probably set the paint faster. I thought at first your first batch had dried out so quickly because you added the plaster of Paris, but perhaps it was the lime? I love that you are always ready to try out an idea that comes into that creative mind you have and I love that you are not afraid to try your hand at anything! I will try your formula myself one day. You know, years ago dairy barns were painted red by farmers because they used what was at hand: buckets of milk and plenty of rust!
The dresser looks wonderful Mary!
I loved the partially stripped look of the drawers that you stained over. It gave it the most interesting character. Would never have thought to do that. And who knew you could make your own milk paint? That had to be pretty inexpensive as well I would think. Thanks for the great video. Listening to you trying to talk above the deafening sound of nature around you at the beginning was nothing less than charming. It almost felt like we were sitting there with you on your porch!
You never cease to amaze me, Mary! I learn so much from you every week. Such a blessing to my life.
Love this. Everything you do is always beautiful. God has definitely given you the gift of beauty. Really enjoy watching your videos.
👏🏻
The dresser is so beautiful. I love all the work you do. God bless.
Thank you for this. I have a small pine chest that is about 70 y/o. I knew I wanted to do something special with it and I think now I have the color scheme.. Thank you Mary
The dresser turned out awesome! Thanks for sharing this with us 😊
I love how the dresser turned out! At first I wondered why you’d want to make your own paint ( other than to try something new) and then when you mentioned chemicals I thought how it would be so nice to have paint without chemicals. Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Just got home from the store with my black and decker mouse sander, then saw your video. Can't wait to try my sander out!
This is a great transformation and a great science lesson.
You may or may not have known but there has actually been a paint shortage in some areas around Atlanta. I’d heard of making paint, years ago, and just never tried it but I’m totally impressed with your recipe and results. I liked the first shade of gray that you used but I also liked the 2nd one, very much. I will price each part and add it all to get a total before I try it but I feel like it is far less than $30.00 a gallon, like the neighborhood store paint costs.
Thank you Miss Mary- we just love you and are so thankful for all you do. And sharing it!
That is a gorgeous piece of furniture! You can do anything!!! I love your videos.
OMG. That is Stunning!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
My favourite look for furniture is black/dark grey and dark wood! Or white and wood!
This is gorgeous! 😍😍
I love the chest of drawers. The color is lovely and the matte finish!!
Thank you for doing all the hard work for us in making the paint!! Can't wait to try it out. Lovely as always.
I love all of your projects. You may everything look so easy!
I absolutely love the dresser!
I just wish I lived close and you were selling this to me! Beautiful!
Well done...enjoyed the process. It might be more economical to make opposed to store bought. The dresser does remind me of something you'd find at Granny's. Just lovely.
Well this is an interesting treat! I never knew it was even possible to make our own paint from scratch. I think I might give it a go!
Farmers did it all the time.
Great job! I would never think of making my own paint. The color was beautiful.
Never seen paint made at home... Pretty cool
You did so well Mary. I really enjoyed the video and I love the chest of drawers. No distressing needed as it was quite a weathered piece of timber.
It is a beautiful piece Mary. You are an amazing woman. I love the stuff you do.
Thank you for being braver than me. Always wanted to make, Marty from the Ozarks
I absolutely love the gorgeous chest of drawers!❤️😊
Beautiful job on the chest of drawers. Well done.xx
Maybe try a dark wax… this was fun to watch, I enjoy watching your creative mind And thanks for adding the bits of nature 🌧 🐦
You are always inspiring Mary! Thank you for sharing your life💕
Mary, that dresser turned out beautiful! I love the old character you can see peeking through the paint (dings, nail holes, etc) and I love that you are now comfortable enough in front of the camera to be in your bare feet and wiggle your toes lol!
Very cool! I've never seen it made this way before.
This is Miss Dottie Mary you do a beautiful job you did a great job on that dresser
Making your own paint was such a great idea!! By the way, the lime neutralizes the acid in the vinegar. That way you aren’t left with an acidic coating on your wood.
👍on the chemestry. There’s more to it. Before painting you want to brush wood with vinegar and let it dry. It will help if the wood is acidic
I love the dresser! I may need to copy it for my next project. Am I the only one who noticed Mary’s foot bouncing around in the end part of the video? Even her feet are cute!!
I noticed it - but am I the only one who saw what appears to be a BUG on her toes also!? Yikes! I was hoping it wasn't biting her. Maybe it wasn't, but it sure looked like it! LOL
Paint is so expensive right now, so it was great seeing a homemade paint that covers well. Thank you.
Your property is lovely! Bless!
Chest looks fab!!! Of course!!
I liked it after the first coat... but after the second coat and the wax, wow! Love it!!
This is a beautiful, masculine piece...love it Mary!
Sorry buy the way I enjoy watching you how to make homemade paint
Thank you so much I love watching your videos God bless you
Mary you’re so talented!! I LOVE this piece of furniture!! 🌿
I like the really old look!
Hi Mary! The dresser turned out really nice. Thank you for sharing!
Thank You Mary. I have a chest of drawers like that one. I want to redo it for under our TV to house our DVDs. Thank You! ❤
Love the end result, Mary! Great choice of colour combination for this piece.❤️
This furniture piece turned out so beautiful. Enjoyed the video.
I like that...and the little cuddle from yr son ..
Love! Love! Love!
Looks beautiful, Mary!
Oh my! That’s beautiful and only you would’ve thought to try to make your own paint 🙌🏼💕
I love this piece! And I love the color with the beautiful brown wood. ❤️❤️
I wasn’t sure about this Mary, but it is stunning. I love all the imperfections make it even better.
We r in lockdown in Canberra, Australia soooo im am going to binge watch white cottage from your very first upload. Wish me luck!
Mary your determination is commendable. I would of giving up long before. The paint looks really lovely. Loved how the two colors came together. Really everything turned out fantastic. Congratulation.
Looks great. A really good job.
Another great video. I love how adventurist you are. TFS
