Homestead House Series: St. Laurent

Milk Paint is probably my favorite type of paint to use on raw wood. Not only does it create an incredible bond with the fibers and grain, it’s nearly indestructible and can weather even the toughest of climates. That’s why when it comes to painting exterior raw wood furniture, milk paint will always be my first choice.

With the fall approaching, I think it’s time I start focusing my brain on outdoors spaces and what I can do to spruce them up. Fire pits, and cozy seating areas are one way to make your spaces inviting. One thing you can do to customize your area even more is to paint these collapsible Adirondack chairs in any shade you like.

This shade by Homestead House Paint Company, is called “St. Laurent.”
