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.

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!

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!
