Erica’s Pick II: using curio as a stain

June 27, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Erica's Pick, News

It is always the “aha” moment in our milk paint 101 workshop. You can use extra water and turn milk paint into a stain? Yes, yes you can. Check out this adorable stool with a lucketts green base and a curio stained top…

Erica’s pick: our latest in mmsmp typewriter…

June 25, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Erica's Pick, News

I love both of these pieces so much! 

product of the month: bonding agent

June 22, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Milk Paint, Product of the Month

Our Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint product of the month for June is one of the most important products in the whole line! As many of you know, Milk Paint will not adhere to nonporous surface. A good rule of thumb is: the shinier the piece, the more chippy your piece will be. If you want a more opaque, “refined” look, bonding agent will be your new BFF.

We use bonding agent about 95% of the time because our customers like full coverage with slightly distressed edges. We also use Bonding Agent on what I have termed a “sliding scale” where zero bonding agent is for raw wood, terra cotta, unsealed brick and stone and very worn pieces and double (twice as much as the paint measurement) for things that are varnished, metal and other impenetrable items. For basic old furniture with an old finish, we stick to somewhere in between!

Here is some great info from the Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint Blog about Chippy vs. Non-Chippy! Happy Painting!!

before & after: …and all the tables too

June 20, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

before & after: all the shelves in mmsmp typewriter…

June 18, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

before & after: a fivethirty home classic piece

June 15, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

before & after: green no more

June 13, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

We had this sweet bench outside when we first opened at our new location. One of our awesome customers is the new owner! When it came to us, it was a really ugly bright green. Sometimes I choose the path of least resistance and picked MMSMP typewriter, our black, to cover up all. that. green. What do you think?

erica’s pick: all the love!

June 11, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Erica's Pick, News

Since it is the season, I’d like to share some of my favorite wedding gift and decor items we have in the store. We have signs, banners, post boxes and florals perfect for your big day! Not the bride, but need a gift? We’ve got you covered — cards, love signs and dishes, mugs for the mr. and mrs., pillows and much more!

before & after: last two in mmsmp trophy

June 11, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

We love these tea carts when we get them…

The mirrors are always a fave too…

before & after: another piece in mmsmp trophy

June 8, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

This little silver server piece would look amazing with the group we posted last…

before & after: dining room set in mmsmp trophy

June 6, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint, News

Each of these pieces are priced separately (the small server is sold) and ready to head to a new home to freshen an outdated dining area. Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Trophy is a greenish-gray with antiqued undertones. Enjoy!

before & after: two pieces in MMSMP Kitchen Scale

June 4, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Color of the Month, Milk Paint

Our other #mmsmp #colorofthemonth for June is Kitchen Scale.

Kitchen Scale is a wonderfully warm teal that we use on all sorts of furniture pieces. Tables and dressers, two of our favorites, are featured in this post!

before & after: armoire in grain sack

June 1, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, Color of the Month, Milk Paint

This is a really sweet piece that we refinished using MMSMP grain sack, my favorite neutral and June’s #mmsmp #colorofthemonth. Grain Sack, IMHO, is the perfect neutral, because the gray tones are so light that you just get the perfect cool white tone when using it!
