Painting your walls without poisoning the planet?

I hear you on the limewash upkeep. Tried it in my last flip—looked awesome for about six months, then my dog went at the wall and it was touch-up city. Ever mess with milk paint? I’ve heard it’s even more finicky but supposedly super eco-friendly.

Tried milk paint once on a dresser, actually. It looked really cool—kind of velvety and soft, but yeah, it’s even more delicate than limewash in my experience. The finish chipped if you so much as looked at it funny. Super green though, and I liked mixing it up myself (felt like a science experiment). Not sure I’d risk it on high-traffic walls unless you’re okay with that “lived-in” look.
