We had an unintentional “typewriter week” here on the blog! While I like them all, I think this one may be the most fun. We finished the outside with 2 coats of mmsmp in typewriter and antiquing wax and then added some depth to the inside by finishing it with mmsmp in trophy, out pewter gray. What do you think? Are you a fan of the two-tone?
This cutie is a little hidden at the store right now! It is in the best-smelling area of the the store, right by all the candles!! Painted with a coat of MMSMP in typewriter and finished with antiquing wax, it’s certainly a beaut!
This beaut is on the way to Florida to a beach home. We’re a little jealous! The detailing on this piece was so sweet — a great example of how distressing milk paint can give the piece a natural patina. We used Farmhouse White and furniture wax.
This little table has one of my favorite details on a piece of furniture, secret storage! Who doesn’t need more storage? Can you spot it??
If you guessed that the sides come down, congrats – you are correct! It has been refinished using two coats of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Mora with a coat of furniture wax. I’m on a big furniture wax kick right now. Let those true colors show!
Sometimes it is the simplest furniture that has the biggest impact. This sweet table, for example, with its straight lines and flat detail. We decided MMSMP in Schloss, out tan-gray color, would be ideal. What do you think?
I’ve rediscovered my love of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Flow Blue and, as you can see, it brightens any old piece of furniture! The perfect turquoise, imho…
We love the product of the month for April, tough coat!
Our premium, non yellowing tough coat provides extra durability against general wear and tear, water damage and food stains. Perfect for those high traffic surfaces such as table tops, seating, doors and floors. Apply with a roller or brush onto recently painted or clean, non oily/greasy surfaces.
If applying to a recently painted surface, allow the surface to dry 24-36 hours before applying. For maximum durability, apply two coats waiting 2-4 hours between coats. In humid areas, longer drying times may be required. 500 mL covers approximately 75 sqft. Easy clean up with soap and warm water. Dries to a matte finish.
Here are a couple of great examples of how our Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint can be used on a variety of furniture styles to get numerous, very different looks.
One, rustic and antiqued. We stained the top of the table using MMSMP in Curio and blended the yellow with antiquing wax:
Two, refined with little distressing and straight clear furniture wax:
We did a poll on instagram and Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Mora was the overwhelming choice for this sweet French Provincial nightstand. What do you think?
Is it spring yet? I guess the answer in Indiana is “not today”! Well, at least or Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint colors are spring-like! Nothing says spring like yellow and green…
The finish options for these colors are all amazing. fivethirty likes to do a clear, furniture wax finish on Lucketts Green and a lightly antiqued finish on Mustard Seed Yellow.
I’m kind of obsessed with this table in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint Farmhouse White. It has handles and is just so short and cute. We didn’t antique this one at all so it is straight up FHW and totally rad!
I am so ready for pastel colors and sunshine and all the happy things! You, too? Well, then, do I have a couple of tables for you! Both of these sweet tables were finished in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Eulalies Sky (actually the kicker here is that there are 3 tables because the square table has a twin!)
If you haven’t used Miss Mustard Seed’s Furniture Wax, you are missing out on a lovely finish. Our beeswax based wax is super smooth and very malleable. Check out that consistency…
It is an amazing product to work with — lots of work time before it dries and no detectable odor make it a pleasure to use to finish all types of porous paints. Yep, that’s right, not just for milkpaint! It can be used on Chalk and Clay paints as well as flat latex. Stop in soon to see!
