Keeping the tradition alive with historical paints and colours

Originally Homestead House was a reproduction furniture company that specialized in finishes using traditional paints and colours. Milk paint was able to create these exceptional finishes but was a relatively unknown commodity that was difficult to obtain. In 1988 Homestead House changed its focus from furniture to paints, becoming Canada’s only milk paint manufacturer. There was a huge demand for the warm environment created by the deep, rich tones of these historical colours. Milk paint however is limited in its application and consumers wanted these colours available for all home decorating needs.

The result was Homestead House expanding to include premium bases that satisfied one coat coverage and provided superior durability. Our historical colours are now available in Traditional Oil as well as 100% Acrylic Latex, for all your home decorating needs inside and out.

With sizes ranging from half-pints (250ml colour testers) to gallons we are able to provide for any size job. Our product line also has expanded to include many more eco friendly options.

From Authentic Milk Paint on your armoire, to 100% Acrylic on your walls to Traditional Oil on your front door, these product lines allow our historical colour range to be carried throughout your home.

We remain dedicated to preserving historical colours of our past while providing the highest quality products and service.
