Archives for December 2015

before and after: two cuties

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

We painted both of these adorable pieces in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Kitchen Scale. They are so different, but are a great reflection of my style. I love the fancy medallions and cool legs on this table…

And I love equally the rustic lines and turned handles of this tea cart…

And if you’ve met me, you know I loooooove this color! Kitchen scale for the win again!!

before and after: shelf in mmsmp grain sack

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

This shelf is the perfect size and shape, and now it is the perfect color! Great for a bathroom, an awkward corner, a kids room for extra storage, and on and on…We painted 2 coats of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Grain Sack with Bonding Agent mixed in and finished with a coat of furniture wax. Where do you need a shelf?

before and after: layla’s mint tables

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

We have been loving Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Layla’s Mint the last few months. We’ve finished a few pieces, like this desk, in our clear furniture wax…(sold)

We’ve also been adding some dimension to the pieces with our custom mix of furniture and antiquing waxes, as seen in this cool nightstand (doesn’t it look like a radio cabinet?)…

before and after: my new appreciation for yellow

December 21, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

I like green and navy and gray and teal and aqua. These are my colors. I have to make myself paint pieces of furniture in other colors for the store. I’ve been adding a Mustard Seed yellow piece in every now and again and, I must say, I’m starting to like yellow more and more. Here’s what we’ve been up to…

colors of the month: boxwood and marzipan

December 18, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Color of the Month, Milk Paint, News

The Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint colors of the month for December are Boxwood, a lovely green named after one of Marian’s favorite natural decor items, and Marzipan, named for the sugary European treat!

We love using boxwood on side and accent tables. It sounds strange, but I consider it a neutral. It’s such a natural, earthy color and looks like the great, green outdoors.

We’ve enjoyed using Marzipan on some larger pieces because it is a really rich, creamy color and perfect for buffets, china cabinets and more.

before and after: buffet in mmsmp linen

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

You have to look closely to see the difference in the before and after for this piece. We stuck close to the original color but had to sand and paint over the sloppy paint job the previous owner had given it. We also added some depth with a coat of our custom mix of antiquing and furniture waxes and replaced the ugly brass knobs with some beautiful ceramic knobs from the hardware bin.

before and after: 1st place trophy

A couple of tables in trophy…they are finished with our custom mix of furniture and antiquing waxes!

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

before and after: lovely drum table

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

We are on quite a roll with the drum tables and side round tables lately! This was had the fabulous lion pull on the drawer so we made sure to take it off before we painted and then put it right back on when we were done. The table got three coats of #missmustardseedsmilkpaint in Eulalie’s Sky and a coat of white wax to protect it. I think this would be a great side table in a kids room or nursery!

Check out my interview on Fox 59 here! Totally spur of the moment but great publicity for us and Zionsville. Thanks for all the love, friends! Yes, you can say you knew me when!!
