milk paint
Old-fashioned wall finish
Milk paint is a type of paint made from milk protein (casein), lime, and natural pigments.
It produces a matte, chalky finish popular for furniture and folk art, valued for its earthy appearance and nontoxic composition.
Unlike modern paints, milk paint bonds chemically with porous surfaces like raw wood: She refinished the antique cupboard with milk paint to preserve its rustic character.
