This was the first color I popped open during our adventure in painting the sample boards and sticks. It is a cheery, happy yellow named after the marigold flower and reflects the beautiful orange-yellow perfectly!
Jolie Color Study: Cocoa
Jolie Paint in COCOA is inspired by the color of cocoa powder – yum! It is a wonderful neutral and one of our favorites for painting floors.

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.
colors of the month: lucketts green and mustard seed yellow
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.

Product of the Month: Furniture Wax
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!
Colors of the Month: trophy and french enamel
We are just moving right along through 2019, aren’t we? It’s March already and we are loving the Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint colors of the month for this month, French Enamel and Trophy!
First, French Enamel…
It is a soft blue and one of Miss Mustard Seed’s favorites. She created it to mimic the look of old French enamelware and it is spot on. Lots of blues mix to make French Enamel a perfect accent color. Check out some of the side tables we have finished in French Enamel…
And, Trophy…
I love Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Trophy! We’ve been painting loads of buffets, dressers, lingerie chests and bedside tables of all sorts and sizes with MMSMP Trophy. And, they all look amazing, if we do say so ourselves. Trophy has a bit of a green base and so the look is almost pewter when dry. We finish it, more often than not, with a custom mix of antiquing and furniture waxes. Here are some of our latest pieces…
before and after: eulalie’s sky chest
We finished this piece in MMSMP Eulalie’s Sky with some white wax touches on the edges. It is such a feminine style, we thought the colors really matched the structure of the piece. It’s long since gone to a new home, but we wanted to share with you!
spring has sprung

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!
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.
what’s new
All the Love!
