Milk Painted Buffet ~ Turquoise

This antique buffet started out like this~
Not too bad but it was missing a back splash and some hardware. Luckily I had a piece that worked perfectly and even had a similar design. My original intention for this piece was classic white distressed. When I got ready to paint I was out of white primer, so I decided to use my milk paint. Turquoise was just calling my name :). This piece distressed better than any I have done with the milk paint so far.

Oh Wow! Just Beautiful! Thanks for showing all of the great detail shots that let us see the crackling, etc. Did you put a darker finish over the turquoise milk paint? What brand of milk paint did you use? Thanks. I saw your post over at "Sunday Showcase".
