The European Paint Party

January 28, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: News

We decided to have a paint party for the launch of the European Line of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint on January 24th and it was fun!!

2015-01-24 10.49.55

We set up a paint bar in our class area…

2015-01-24 09.54.38

We premixed each color and customers could work their way around the table stopping at a “station” for each color…

And, they got to make a set of theses cuties…

2015-01-24 16.10.21

We made up a few sets for customers who did not want to paint and still have some left so the next time you are in the store, ask for a set if you’d like!

before and after: cute little tables

January 26, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: News

These tables were found at an estate sale and had probably been together for a number of years. We decided to finish them in a similar looks so they could stay together for a few more years! We did a custom mix of ironstone and grain sack for a rich white and then chose to finish them in white wax to make the look even more crisp.

Here’s the square table — great lines and medallion detail…

And here’s the oval …

We are happy to report that the oval has found it’s new home with a darling couple who plan to use it for the nursery! Baby to arrive next month — we can’t wait!!

what’s new: lots and lots of letters

January 23, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: News

If you’ve been in our store, you know how much we love salvaged letters! We found some great letters this summer that were very popular!!

When our salvage guy texted me pictures a few weeks ago, I knew we had another great set on our hands…

We’ve had some fun with the letters behind the checkout at the store…

And our awesome customers have had lots of fun with them, too!

If you have a request in our wish list book and we have the letter, we should have contacted you already. If you haven’t heard from us though, check in, we may have just the L-E-T-T-E-R you’ve been looking for!

European Colors: marzipan

January 23, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: News

This one if going to be my fave, I can already tell!  Named after the paste used in lots of sweet treats, marzipan is a gorgeous rich cream with just a hint of beige. It is a great alternative if linen is a little too yellow for you!

As soon as we received the European colors, I knew which piece would get a marzipan redo…

With great bones and lots of little details, I knew it would look amazing…

European Colors: Arabesque

January 21, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: News

As a mom of four boys, I don’t do much with pink. In fact, and this is just between us, I don’t really like pink that much. I never have, except for a brief time in the 90’s when “hot pink” was all the rage, but I think we’ve collectively tried to forget that! However, the new European line may help get pink back into my life, or at least on my paint brush…introducing Arabesque, a lovely dusky pink and one of the six new colors in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint European Line.

We received the new colors this week and immediately mixed up a batch of each color! We did a little frame in Arabesque…

2015-01-14 13.33.28

And I’m making these sample pages of all the European colors, see Arabesque there in the bottom right?

2015-01-13 15.48.46

I really think it would be a beautiful color for a vanity or dresser for a little girl’s room. And, I cannot wait to finish it with white wax! You can order the European colors here to try out on your own.

before and after: another buffet

January 19, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: News

Well, when something works you stick with it, right? We finished another huge buffet in MMS typewriter and antiquing wax and it is a beauty! So pretty it sold right out of the back room.

color of the month: ironstone

January 16, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Color of the Month

The MMS Color of the Month for January is Ironstone, named after Marian’s favorite thing to collect – white ironstone china.  It is an off-white shade with just a hint of gray.  If you are going for white, this is the color for you.  This color looks great alone, but can be paired with any color in the entire line.  After all, as Miss Mustard Seed says, “White pairs well with everything.”

We’ve recently decorated our shop window with a big banner featuring a wood cutting board with Ironstone paint, then added furnishings painted in this beautiful winter white shade.

One piece featured in the window is this small secretary. As you can see from our before picture, it is a great solid, old piece but was in desperate need of some rejuvenation. We gave it three coats of Ironstone and finished with a soft antiquing wax.

We did another desk for a client and finished with tough coat…what a change, eh?  So pretty.

Before and After: Dresser in Grain Sack

January 13, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: News

This darling dresser was brought in as a custom re-do for one of our clients.  It has the best bones, but was definitely in need of some TLC.  We painted this little gem all over in MMS Grain Sack, with a mixture of 1 part Trophy to 3 parts Grain Sack mixture on the raised details.  Then we applied our favorite  – antiquing wax softened with just a smidge of furniture wax.  Now this piece is ready to make it’s debut in the guest room!
