Product of the Month: Hemp Oil
oh boy oh boy oh boy
This month’s product of the month is one of my favorites of the whole line, all natural hemp oil. When I talk about hemp oil during our classes at the store, the attendees usually purchase some hemp oil because I gush and gush about its many uses and wonderful properties.
- We use it on all of our wood pieces that will not be painted before we bring them in the store. It is a great way to clean, nourish and rejuvenate wood pieces.
- Wet sanding…if you haven’t done this, you must try. In a nutshell: paint, dry, squirt on the hemp oil, break out the 220 sandpaper and enjoy the smoothest finish you’ve ever felt.
- Resist: Apply a little hemp oil between two color of milk paint and create your own chippy goodness.
- Cast iron and metal: Season and clean your cast iron and metal pieces because ta-da, Hemp Oil is 100% food safe.
- Wood kitchen islands and tables, cutting boards and anything else you eat off of. So easy and good for the wood!

before & after: table in mmsmp french enamel
If I’m honest, French Enamel is one of my least favorite of the mmsmp line. I’m a green girl and this one is true blue. However, it looks stunning on this table, don’tcha think??
design tip: round tables
colors of the month: arabesque and farmhouse white
MMSMP Farmhouse White is an antique white, perfect for when you want a little depth on your piece of furniture. I’ve been using Farmhouse White more and more, and while I’m still a Grain Sack girl at heart, Farmhouse White is winning me over. We answer questions about the differences between the two colors all the time, and my general response is that Grain Sack has just a hint of gray and is therefore a bit darker than Farmhouse White. Check out our Pinterest board for more inspiration.
Our other Color of the Month for February, is Arabesque, a soft pale pink that is part of our European Line.

product of the month: brush soap
The product of the month is one we use all the time to clean our wax and paint brushes. It is the creation of another MMSMP retailer and is also a green product. It smells divine and makes our brushes oh-so-soft! Stop by the store and ask to clean our brushes (I’m not kidding about this – you need to see it in action)…
before & after: aviary, two ways
Our newest color, MMSMP aviary, is a year old! To celebrate, we are showing you two ways to use it on two very different before and after looks:
Rustic stool with white wax…
Loads of carved detail with antiquing wax…
PS. We like them both!
design tip: finishing touches
A small family heirloom. Trays, baskets or bins. A throw. A piece of art that means something to you….
