At Your Service: Milk-paint Lessons with Fivethirty Home

“There are several techniques that we teach you to give the piece an authentic distressed appearance,” says Erica Carpenter, co-owner of Fivethirty Home in Zionsville. The paint resists certain surfaces to achieve a shabby-chic veneer. “We’ll also show you how to apply a wax finish to seal the look.”
