Archives for November 2015

before and after: chevron bench

November 30, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

From 90’s green to 2015 awesome…. with legs in mmsmp typewriter and BD fabric. I think it speaks for itself.

before and after: layla’s mint cutie

November 25, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

I always love when we get the little tables with magazine or book storage underneath. We decided on MMSMP in Layla’s Mint, a soft, pale mint green….

It went from pretty blah to very cute! I styled it in the store with some milk glass pieces.

before and after: is a desk or is it a table?

November 23, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

Sometimes I just don’t know! It has a drawer and you could scoot a chair up and work at it….it’s a desk? It’s not too wide and could stand alone…it’s a table? Whatever it is, I think it turned out quite nicely! Two coats of MMSMP Schloss with bonding agent mixed in and a coat of our custom mix of furniture and antiquing waxes to finish…

before and after: it IS easy being RED

November 18, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

Now that we are well into fall and headed full-steam toward the holidays, we have been painting lots of pieces in MMSMP tricycle. Here are two of my recent faves…

It only took about 1/2 cup to do both of these and we finished with straight antiquing wax to soften the color a bit.

before and after: cute little bench in kitchen scale

November 16, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

My husband had to do a few repairs on the seat of this bench but it was sooooo worth it. Check out this adorable bench…

Two coats of kitchen scale with bonding and a coat of furniture wax took this bench from cute to irresistible!

before and after: shutter gray shelf

November 11, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

We have been lucky enough to find two of these vintage shelves with cutouts lately. This one was a little more masculine and sort=of deco so we decided to finish in a neutral. Shutter gray to the rescue! Two coats with bonding agent, antiquing wax and it if off to a new home…

before and after: the boat

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

In all honesty, I would not have purchased this shelf if we had not gotten a request in our wish list book for a shelf in the shape of a boat! I’m so glad we did though because look at how RIDICULOUSLY CUTE this is…

We applied one coat in MMSMP tricycle (no bonding because it was unfinished wood) to the exterior and then accented the raised edges in artissimo. We finished the whole piece in our antiquing wax and then tacked on the little knot at the top. Adorbs! And still available!!

colors of the month: curio and mustard seed yellow

November 6, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Color of the Month, Milk Paint, News

The colors of the month for November are Curio, a rich brown meant to look like the color of an old curio cabinet, and mustard seed yellow, a lovely gold.

We use curio as a stain more than a paint. It’s one of my favorite treatments for raw wood. For our milk paint stain, we mix 1 part curio to 3 parts water for a nice, rich brown. Some people like to wipe the stain but I like to let it set up. This is one of the techniques we teach in our Milk Paint 101 class. We did paint a secretary in curio a while back and it turned out quite nicely…

I am really excited to talk about Mustard Seed Yellow since we have been rediscovering it this year. It is a really nice gold-yellow and we have enjoyed playing around with different finishes. I am especially fond of white wax over mustard seed…

Here’s a little of what we’ve been up to with Mustard Seed Yellow…

before and after: mora does it again

November 4, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

The lines on this table are amazing, aren’t they? I love the little detail and the unusual shape of the base, wow!! We gave this little guy two coats of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Mora with the bonding agent mixed in and finished it with a coat of our custom mix of antiquing and furniture waxes. It’s so fancy!!

before and after: why I love MMSMP in boxwood

November 2, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

Before we received our first order of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in 2012, I thought Lucketts Green was going to be my favorite color. I love green. Whenever I play the favorites game with my five year old, he knows. “Your favorite color is green, Mom. Do you like light green, dark green or medium?” My answer is usually light or medium so it makes sense that the  light ever-so-slightly-blue-green of Lucketts would be my favorite. But it’s not. My fave is Boxwood, every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Marian and Homestead House created such a beautiful rich, true green with Boxwood that Lucketts never had a chance with me. It’s meant to look like the boxwood Marian loves to use in her decor. To me, it just looks like the color of outside. It reminds me of Spring…and Christmas…and of playing outside!

Here are two cute little before and afters of tables painted in MMSMP boxwood and finished with antiquing wax…
