what a difference!

what a difference!

This darling was found off the beaten path just outside of Harrodsburg, Kentucky on our yearly trip along the world’s longest yard sale through Kentucky and Tennessee.  It had good bones but somebody had not been kind.  There were scratches in the wood, some torn veneer, and even a big hole!

We did two coats of MMS Typewriter on the outside and three coats of MMS Trophy on the inside because, man, does raw wood soak up some milk paint! We finished it off with a coat if antiquing wax all over and buffed to a shine.  Isn’t she beautiful now?

Bring Home a Trophy

August 19, 2014 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, News

What a difference a little color makes, eh?  We’ve given this dresser a freshened up look by supplying a coat of MMS Trophy, which is a warm gray with yellow undertones.  This is a more sophisticated color, perfect for the lines of this particular dresser.  For a bit more color and surprise we then painted the inside of the drawers a custom mix of Kitchen Scale and French Enamel.  After a coat of  an antiquing/furniture wax mixture was added, we completed the look by adding hand-picked knobs to match the inside of the drawers.

Freshened Up French Provincial

August 15, 2014 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After

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.

Some Sweet Dressers!

August 15, 2014 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After

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!
