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.

2020 class schedule…
before and after: two tables in trophy
We have a matching set of these awesome jenny lind style tables. They are so sweet!
before and after: mmsmp typewriter and those pulls!
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.
Milk Paint Love!
I just wanted to share this sweet collage of all the Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint Colors…the palette is so beautiful because Marian thoughtfully chooses the colors to work with each other.
before & after: game table
DO you know what a game table is? I had not heard of it until we opened the store. They are very cool and once we got the first one in, we’ve been keeping an eye out. They look like a regular table when folded up. To open it, you turn the top and flip it open to make a square. It even has room to store things underneath…
This one is in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Trophy!
before & after: last of the mmsmp typewriter roundup
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?
before & after: where is the shelf??
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!
before & after: buffet in mms typewriter
before & after: so hard to say goodbye
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.
before & after: secret storage
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!
before & after: mmsmp schloss table
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?
before & after: flow blue gets its due
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…
before & after: all the mmsmp artissimo pieces…
before & after: the mother lode of mms typewriter tables
before & after: chest in mmsmp trophy

Product of the Month: tough coat
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.
before & after: two tables, two ways
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:
