We all do it. I mean, come on, she’s Miss Mustard Seed, for goodness sake. So, we blatantly copies her robin’s egg blue and you can too! It’s easy really, one part MMSMP eulalie’s sky and one part Shutter gray. We used it on these cute nesting tables…
We have tons of great new furniture pieces in the store this week! And, we did my favorite window of the year – the school window! Dressers, a library table, lots of globes, lockers, tables of all sizes and lots more. Stop in soon to see us!
We talk with our customers in the store about the endless looks that can be achieved with just one quart of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint. The waxes that are part of the line and the custom waxes available are guaranteed to make your piece look unique. Here are a few examples of how changing the wax can make one paint color look completely different.
We are often asked about painting kitchen cabinets with Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint. We’ve worked with several customers to achieve the looks they imagined for their kitchens…here are some before and after pictures from Kathy’s project…
She chose a combination of MMSMP linen on the top and typewriter for the desk and the island. It is a striking change and looks so much more modern than the honey finish she had before. She chose well — I think the island is a nice touch and the soft black of typewriter really grounds the whole space. Great job!
These servers were purchased at an auction on the same day but were in different buildings, if you can believe it. We bought both and didn’t realize they belonged together until we started sorting out furniture at the barn.
Same legs: yes. Same floral detail: yes. Same hardware: yes. Hmmm, I guess we should paint them the same color? Yes.
We chose Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Grain Sack with a slightly antiqued finish…
This cute little nightstand is going into a cute little girls room and we couldn’t be happier. We used MMSMP arabesque on the old french provincial finish of faded cream and gold. I think it turned out quite lovely. MUCH improved now that I take another look at the before!! I’d forgotten how bad it was.
We are thrilled with our latest Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint and Wax combo, Layla’s Mint with white wax. Miss Mustard Seed created Layla’s Mint for Layla of the The Lettered Cottage and then warmed it up a bit to coordinate with the other colors in the MMSMP European Color Palette. We have been finishing Layla’s Mint with white wax on a few pieces and love how the soft, dreamy combo makes the pieces come to life…
Nothing to be sad about with the lovely softest gray-blue you ever did see, Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Bergere. We finished this little table in a light coat of our antiquing wax. Perfecto!
This cute chest went form stuffy and formal to cool and modern with a coat of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Trophy. What separates this from other pieces in MMSMP trophy is the gorgeous gray wax finish (and those cute knobs)! We mix gray wax by adding a dollop of white wax to a dollop of antiquing wax in a separate container and mixing them together until creamy. HINT: the white wax is very dense so you may need to add a smidge more antiquing wax for a smoother consistency.
I have lots of navy in my own home so it is hard for me to resist cute pieces like these finished in my favorite color…both are MMSMP artissimo with a light antiqued finish.
