Clay paint is fantastic, especially for those of us who are a bit more hands-on with our DIY projects. The texture it adds to walls is something you just can’t get with regular paint. Plus, the fact that it’s so eco-friendly is a huge bonus. I painted my office with it, and the difference in the room’s feel is night and day.

I tried both for different projects, and each has its place. Milk paint is my go-to for furniture because of that classic, vintage look. But for walls, clay paint wins hands down. It’s not just about the eco-friendliness; it’s how it transforms the space. My living room feels more alive, if that makes sense.

I’m all about the DIY recipes for these paints. For milk paint, I found that adding a bit more lime gives it a smoother finish, which is great for detailed furniture work. As for clay paint, mixing in a bit of natural pigment can really make the colors pop. It’s all about experimenting to find what works best for your project.

The debate between milk and clay paint is interesting, but have you guys considered the impact of the tools we use to apply these paints? I’ve switched to natural bristle brushes and found they make a difference in the application and the overall finish. It’s another layer to making our painting projects more eco-friendly.
