before and after: here today, gone today sofa table
I really liked this table…alot. Like, if we had room and my house it would be there. It had it all: great storage, nice details, great width, shelves, and a lovely finish in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint Grain Sack. It was popular right away. Facebook messages and texts because someone had seen us carrying it in popular. It lasted just a little less than 24 hours…I think you can see why.

summer window
We created our annual summer window this week – the American flags, nautical lanterns and lake signs are on display! We have some great patriotic pillows and garlands perfect for porches or summer parties. And, if you’re headed to the lake this summer, we have some fun lake signs, salvaged numbers and nautical mirrors. Stop in and see what’s new!
before and after: jewelry chest in MMSMP linen
This one was a subtle change…we lightened the color ever so slightly with a coat of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Linen, an off white to blend with the original. Next, a quick application on white wax over the paint and hardware, and voila…
finishing a floor with Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint aka Kathy’s story
You’ve heard me talk about my friend, Kathy, and her beautiful shop in Naples, Florida. Paint in Shabby is a feast for the eyes, from the luxe chandelier over her workshop space to the bathroom (yes, even the bathroom is lovely at Kathy’s space)!
She always has a million ideas about how to repurpose and reuse whatever we find when we go junkin’ together in Florida! I mean, she made this…
So, when Kathy told me she was going to paint two floors in her own home with Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint, I didn’t bat and eye. This is what she does. She is the amazing — with her ideas AND her follow through.
Of course, she got the maple hardwood free from a friend! After they ripped up the carpet, she glued the wood onto concrete and sanded with 100 grit using the big sander. Next, she used the vacuum to collect dust and then attached a tack cloth to a drywall sander to get the rest of the dust.
After mixing Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Grain Sack at full strength (she mixed 2 quarts paint and 2 quarts water), she applied two coats.
After sanding and using the tack cloth again, she sealed with Aqua Clear water based topcoat.
They are smooth and they are gorgeous. I want her to come to Indy, I know what I want to do on my stairs at home now!!
what’s new this week?
We have lots of great freshly painted pieces in the store this week! All of these pieces were finished in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint and all are available…
Stop in and see us this weekend! Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 12-4.
