before and after: the perfect chest of drawers

October 28, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

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…

before and after: artissimo tables

October 26, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

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…

before and after: i love this table

October 22, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

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!!

before and after: kitchen scale or kitchen sink

October 21, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Color of the Month, News

I had a class recently and some of the students were calling our Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint color named Kitchen Scale by a different name, kitchen sink. One of the ladies works at a granite company and she talks about kitchen sinks all the time. Her friends starting calling it kitchen sink too, and I’ve been doing it myself for a little while after class! Anyway, it is Kitchen Scale and it is BEE-YOU-TI-FUL…

Both pieces were painted in Kitchen Scale with bonding agent and finished with our custom mix of antiquing and furniture waxes.

before and after: mustard seed yellow to the rescue again

October 20, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

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…

before and after: shutter gray, we missed you

October 19, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

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…

before and after: dresser and night stand

October 14, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

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!

before and after: my favorite piece in bergere so far

October 12, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

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!!

 

fivethirty home on YouTube

October 9, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

We are excited to announce that we now have instructional and inspirational (we hope!) videos on YouTube. We have created some lovely collage videos of our pieces painted in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint – check out the grain sack video here.
I did a quick tutorial video on painting raw wood and will do more soon.
We hope you will subscribe to our YouTube channel and check in often.

before and after: rustic table in forgotten flow blue

October 7, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

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!!

before and after: the secretaries

October 5, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

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.

colors of the month: typewriter and schloss

October 2, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Color of the Month, Milk Paint, News

We are loving this weather and next week looks to be even more like fall! YAY! For October, Miss Mustard Seed has chosen two lovely colors and a really interesting pairing. Typewriter, the black of the Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint Line, is a tried and true fave, and Schloss, a recent addition as part of the European Line, is the taupe/gray we’d all been waiting for!

But first, Typewriter…

A really dark charcoal, Typewriter doesn’t turn fully black until finished. Our favorite finish is Miss Mustard Seed’s Antiquing Wax, but we have been rocking the hemp oil sanded finish lately. Either (or both) turn this lovely color into a beautiful, rich black that we absolutely love. We’ve done tons of buffets, side tables and sofa tables in Typewriter.

And now, Schloss…

Schloss Collage

The German word for castle, Schloss is meant to be the color of the some of the beautiful old European castles. I often call it a taupe/gray because it can be either color depending on the light and choice of finish. My friend Kathy of Paint It Shabby did a beautiful white wax finish on Schloss and it looks so European. We’ve been sticking with our custom mix of Antiquing and Furniture Wax for a very soft, aged look.

Enjoy October and we hope you decided to paint a piece or two with these lovely colors!
