Did you know that French Provincial furniture was first designed in Paris for the king and his court?  Well, you certainly don’t have to be a king or queen to have some FP in your home…but you may feel like royalty if you display this piece.  These pieces were crying out for a day of beauty, and we gave them just that, using Mms Grain Sack, which is a very light gray. We then added MMS Eulalie’s Sky, a great shade of blue, to the drawers, of finished off with a layer white wax.

Here are the latest and greatest “before & after” projects fresh from our design factory.

The beauty below was purchased at an estate sale, where we sometimes find goodies in need of a makeover.  She’s done in Tricycle with antiquing wax, which is so fun.  Just like applying the perfect shade of lipstick, this old gal has been given new life.

Tricycle, like all MMS colors, can be done in a variety of shades to give you the exact hue you desire.  Mix it with Ironstone to get varying shades of pink, or choose Curio to make a deeper barn red.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This next dresser was done in Mms typewriter with a hemp oil finish.  We added mercury glass knob, which are so hot right now.  Doesn’t this piece look like an entirely different item?  MMS milk paint is so flexible, yet long-lasting.  Just look at what you can you can achieve with just a little time!
