I was so excited to see this piece at auction! Our customers are always asking for this size chest. Some like to use it for a nightstand or in their foyer. I love the wavy front and the original hardware. We painted the piece in two coats of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Trophy with a light antiquing wax…

Wow, we have been busy! Lots of custom work and pieces for the store in action. Here are a few of our latest in artissimo, the navy of the Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint line. All our finished with Antiquing wax to make them a darker navy…

I really, really like this table. I like the shape of it. I like how tall it is. I like that it has a shelf below for extra storage. You might say I love this table…

I love it even more after two coats of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Typewriter and some Antiquing Wax!!

This was an adorable piece that had a somewhat strange life before we picked it up at an estate sale. The inside was rough cut and looked to be really old. The shutters, though were a completely different feel and obviously were newer than the original structure. When faced with a piece that has been pieced and parted together, our solution is to PAINT! We chose Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Mustard Seed Yellow for this cutie and finished it with a mixture of Antiquing and Furniture waxes…

We love Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Trophy, our gray-green pewter gray, so much that we sometimes forget about our original favorite gray, Shutter Gray. We’ve been intentionally painting pieces in Shutter Gray again and are rediscovering how beautiful it is!

For the first piece, a magazine holder, we finished with furniture wax and then added white wax on the medallion piece to highlight it..

Next, an adorable drum table with the original lion hardware were given a new look with a mixture of Miss Mustard Seed’s furniture and antiquing waxes…

And finally, a mission style desk and chair were finished with Antiquing Wax for a rustic look…

We’ve been loving white wax lately. It makes Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Ironstone, Linen and Grain Sack really pop. For this set, we did a coat of Kilz primer (to avoid bleed through), two coats of Linen and a coat of white wax. Both are sold now, but what a great look!

We’ve been fortunate to find several round and pie crust tables lately. So fortunate, in fact, that I’ve been really branching out on colors. We did the basics: typewriter, shutter gray, mora…so, we went out on a limb and decided to paint one in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint Bergere. What do you think?

This is probably my favorite piece in Bergere so far! I love how soft it looks!!

Miss Mustard Seed and Homestead House, the manufacturer of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint, developed a gorgeous color palette for our fantastic paint line! We love them all — just not equally! Flow Blue is a great turquoise and when we paint something in it, it looks great. We just forget about it sometimes…BUT NOT THIS TIME!!

This sweet little rustic table/desk was in great shape and just needed an update. Flow Blue and Miss Mustard Seed’s Antiquing Wax to the rescue!!

05Do you have a big space to fill? Or, do you have a small space that needs a little something? We’ve got you covered on both accounts with these beautiful secretaries…

Both were painted with two coats of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Grain Sack and finished with our mixture of Furniture and Antiquing Waxes.
