Before we received our first order of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in 2012, I thought Lucketts Green was going to be my favorite color. I love green. Whenever I play the favorites game with my five year old, he knows. “Your favorite color is green, Mom. Do you like light green, dark green or medium?” My answer is usually light or medium so it makes sense that the light ever-so-slightly-blue-green of Lucketts would be my favorite. But it’s not. My fave is Boxwood, every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Marian and Homestead House created such a beautiful rich, true green with Boxwood that Lucketts never had a chance with me. It’s meant to look like the boxwood Marian loves to use in her decor. To me, it just looks like the color of outside. It reminds me of Spring…and Christmas…and of playing outside!
Here are two cute little before and afters of tables painted in MMSMP boxwood and finished with antiquing wax…
