This dresser did not last long – about three days or so in the store! It is a beautiful old piece, very solid, with unique details. We painted it in Miss Mustard’s Seed’s Milk Paint in Layla’s Mint on the outside and Boxwood on the inside. Painting tonal accents is one of my favorite things to do when we paint the drawers. It’s a nice surprise to open the drawers and find a different color and I like to do versions of light green/dark green or light blue/dark blue. 

We added a coat of MMSMP antiquing wax to play up all the details and some of our favorite floral knobs from the hardware bin. We hope the young lady enjoys this lovely piece!

Finally, the best part, the WAXING!! I love Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint waxes. They are like butter…check out the waxing process and our finished product on Youtube by clicking the image.

And a side by side camparison…

 

Paint is mixed and we are ready to start painting. My number one tip is flipping your piece so that the underside is painted first. It is a great way to test color, see any wood issues and get a good feel for what the piece will look like! 

Welcome to our second video series of Coronacation. For this one, I chose a boring table that was in on our to-do list and gave it an update using Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Aviary. Follow along on Youtube as we transform this table…

Step 1 provides tips as well as fivethirty favorites on the mixing process!

Yep, we painted the leather! With Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint, you just need to add some extra bonding agent to the mix so it will adhere properly. MMSMP in Typewriter and finished in antiquing wax.

The distressing around the edges of this table is still one of my favorite things about MMS milk paint. It is a look that is so naturally aged. This piece is in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Farmhouse White and we used our lavender scented Furniture Wax to finish.

Another gorgeous french provinical piece finished in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Grain Sack. It is one of our go-to colors for a soft, light almost-white look.

We have a matching set of these awesome jenny lind style tables. They are so sweet!

One of the original pulls was missing the metal pull so we were thrilled when these nickel pulls fit the existing hole perfectly! While not planned, the contrast between the dark tones of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Typewriter and the nickel of the pulls looks stunning.
