Drinks. For a Good Cause

by Filed Under: Events Leave a Comment

Hello! The annual Christmas in the Village Christmas Crawl is December 13th, 6-9 pm. There will be horse drawn wagon rides in the Village again and we are excited because WE WILL BE OPEN! I am hosting my friend Nikole from One Hope Wine and we are putting together a free wine tasting! The cool think about One Hope is that they will donate funds to a nonprofit if we choose to buy wine. So, if you like what you are tasting, you can buy a bottle or two in support of the Zionsville Education Foundation (my cause). I hope you will stop for a sip and enjoy!

Another great year for the Holiday Home Tour

A huge thank you to everyone who came for the Holiday Home tour on December 1st. We were thrilled to partner with the Zionsville Showchoir on their yearly fundraiser and this year was extra special because my mom’s house was on the tour. I hope to share everything we did at her house because it looked amazing, but the best part for me was seeing all the friends and family who came and hearing the amazing kids sing and play!

before & after: what a beaut!

by Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint

One of my favorite combinations is MMSMP typewriter, our black, with kitchen scale, our teal. I’ve used this combination several times over the years. Bookshelves, wine cabinets and dressers come to mind as some of my favorite pieces. 

The typewriter on this piece is hidden, it’s in the drawers which we can’t see in this picture – boo! We added these plain back knobs to coordinate. 

product of the month: antiquing wax

by Filed Under: Milk Paint, Product of the Month

If you’ve read this blog or ever talked with me about painting, you know I love Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint Antiquing Wax…

It is a rich brown – black and perfect for adding depth to many of the MMSMP colors. We almost always use antiquing wax on Outback Petticoat, Tricycle and Typewriter. 

We like to mix some clear furniture with antiquing wax to soften it a little for lighter colors like Farmhouse White, Schloss and Layla’s Mint.

And, if you add the antiquing wax to our white wax, a lovely gray is created and will soften the whites without a hint of brown, give Trophy a weathered look and take any of the green tint out of Mora.

 

 

colors of the month: curio and schloss

by Filed Under: Color of the Month, Milk Paint, News

Have you tried our MMSMP colors of the month for November??

Schloss, our lovely, taupe/gray, is a great neutral if you want some warmth in your gray. Can you beat a gray with brown undertones? Not in my book!

And, speaking of brown, here’s curio! Miss Mustard Seed created Curio to mimic the look of old an old curio cabinet. It is the most versatile of all our MMSMP colors in my mind because it is really a walnut color. You can add extra water to make a stain or a wash or mix it at full strength for a rich, dark brown.

Yay November!!

before & after: dresser in mmsmp flow blue

by Filed Under: Before & After, Milk Paint

This piece has been one of my favorites since we first brought it in. I’m rediscovering my love for mmsmp flow blue and it is certainly one of the reasons why we have started to paint more pieces in the color. 

Choosing which color to paint a piece can sometimes be a challenge. We don’t want to paint everything in black, white or gray but those are the colors that sell the most so painting a larger piece in a bold color is a bit of a risk.

This piece was an enigma of sorts because of the eagles on the hardware right next to the bell detail on the edges. It was both masculine and feminine. I settled on flow blue with a little distressing and furniture wax to finish. Doesn’t it look great?
