I used Milk Paint by The Old Fashioned Milk Paint Co., Inc. to paint this unfinished wooden crate I got from the store. It's prefect for holding some of my craft supplies. I really like the finished look and texture of the milk paint. I wish it had been a little bit easier to stir as it took some time to get it all mixed up.

Start by opening up your packet of milk paint powder and placing it in an empty container- I actually used an empty coolwhip bowl.
Sand your wooden crate and make sure it's clean and smooth.
Follow the directions included with your milk paint for mixing it up.
I mixed Salem red and Snow white in about a 50/50 ratio.
Use a foam brush to apply the paint. Depending on how well you stirred the paint, it may be a little streaky- but I actually like the look of it.
Let your paint dry.
I mixed up the rest of the snow white milk paint and used it to embellish my crate. I added a little "label" on the front end so that I can write on it if I want to.
I painted some strips and chevrons along the side panels for a fun look.
