Archives for May 2015

We post many updates on Facebook and send out this email once a week (thanks for reading)! You can find us on other online sites as well…

Instagram is my new favorite social media platform because I am a visual person. I love to look at the photos and hashtags are always fun to play around with. My Instagram feed is a mixture of finished and in work furniture pieces, people or scenes that catch my eye and my family!

 

 

 

 

 

We have been revamping our Pinterest boards for a while now and would love for you to check out what we’ve painted and what inspires us! We are going to work on Pinterest more this Summer and would love feedback from you!

 

 

 

 

I’ve been a Twitter hold out for a while now, but we are making more of an effort to join the Twitterverse on a regular basis! Keeping myself to 140 characters can sometimes be a problem…

 

 

 

 

We debuted our newest Zionsville goods at the Brick Street Market last weekend. We are very excited to introduce Zionsville longitude and latitude signs and pillows as part of our growing collection of Indiana and Zionsville home decor! The signs are available in black with white lettering and the pillows are burlap with black lettering. Stop in soon to pick one up for a gift or for yourself.  Zionsville items make great teacher gifts!

Also new in the store this week, lots and lots of new hardware! We just received a large collection of new ceramic and metal knobs. When you come in to pick up some Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint, be sure to check out the hardware bin for some sweet knobs to finish your masterpiece. Aqua, blue, red, teal, hammered brass, glass. . . the list goes on and on!

 

This little rustic table didn’t take long at all to do! Two coats of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Lucketts Green, a coat of Furniture Wax and two of our knobs from the Hardware Bin. Look at how cute she is!

This is literally the tiniest, cutest table I’ve ever laid eyes on! It is about 8″ square on top and maybe 18″ tall. But, wow, add a coat of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in French Enamel and something really tiny makes a BIG impact. How cute would this be in a guest bathroom or old fashioned parlor?

 

These side tables were a great find because they have a large top but look delicate because of the turned leg. They were pretty dark so we decided to go with one of the new Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint colors, Mora. It is a green-gray and changes to more green or more gray depending on the light. We think they turned out quite nicely with a light coat of our custom mix of Antiquing Wax and Furniture Wax! What do you think??

These are my faves, with the curved front and original Chippendale hardware, it’s hard to do better. We did a coat of Miss Mustard Seed’s Tough Coat to stop any bleed through that may pop up. Tough Coat is a newer addition to the Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint line. It can be used as a sealer as well as a primer. We recommend Tough Coat for pieces requiring water cleanup (kitchen table) or cabinets exposed to lots of moisture (bathroom).

Immediately after the Tough Coat was dry (30 minutes or so), we applied two coats of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Grain Sack with bonding agent mixed in. We add bonding agent to most of the pieces we paint because our customers seem to like the lightly distressed edge look more than the chippy look. We then finished with our custom mix of Furniture and Antiquing waxes.

And, this piece came with a piece of custom pre-cut glass that we are selling along with it. The glass alone is probably well over $150! It is still available.
