colors of the month: grain sack and kitchen scale

June 3, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Color of the Month, Milk Paint, News

Wooo-hooo! Summer! School is out and we are ready to have some FUN! Summer has always been my favorite season — my birthday is in July, Jim and I got married in June, I love the 4th of July. And, now that I kids of my own, I get to experience the joys of Summer all over again…

The folks at Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint have made Summer even more of a fave because the colors of the month for June are Grain Sack and Kitchen Scale (my favorite neutral and my favorite color!)

Grain Sack it the perfect neutral as far as I’m concerned. I always say it is “not too white, just white enough”. Grain Sack is one of Marian’s favorite colors, named for the color of antique European grain sacks.  It’s a chameleon color, meaning it looks different depending on what is around it.  Sometimes it looks white, sometimes gray and sometimes more beige. Grain Sack is a great color to mix in order to lighten without making the color too pastel.  It pairs well with the other grays in the line – Shutter Gray and Trophy. Some of our greatest hits…

And, Kitchen Scale, a beautiful teal — you know we love it, we painted the 12 ft long paint display in Kitchen Scale!! Kitchen Scale is a rich teal, named after an antique scale Marian once owned in her kitchen.  The scale has since been passed along to Jennylyn, the president of Homestead House Paint Co. Kitchen Scale can be mixed with Linen to achieve a soft, robin’s egg blue.  It pairs well with Grain Sack.
