It’s hard to top the colors of the month in June for me…but July comes close! Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Artissimo and Tricycle are colors we work with on a regular basis (especially this time of year in preparation for our nautical/patriotic window at the store).
When I applied to be a Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint retailer, we received a sample starter kit. It included three colors, including tricycle, and this is what I painted…
Since that Summer of 2012, this is what we’ve painted…
We almost always finish Tricycle with a coat of antiquing wax to soften the red — it is a very vibrant red and so, so pretty. But, most people prefer a softer, antiqued look!
Artissimo was part of the second wave of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint colors. We got many requests for a navy and were thrilled when we tried artissimo. We finish with furniture wax for a slate blue look and antiquing wax for a richer navy.
We are currently working on a custom vanity in artissimo — it is going to knock your socks off!!
