Discovering ‘tricycle’ all over again

October 25, 2014 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: News

Now that fall is upon us and we are full speed ahead towards Christmas, I find myself painting more pieces in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint Tricycle.

When we first started carrying Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint over two years ago, I talked with a couple who declared Tricycle to be “the perfect Red” based on their months of sample quarts, custom mixes and disappointment. At the time I didn’t think much about it, but the more I see it, the more I agree!

Here’s a step-by-step of what to expect with Tricycle…

When adding bonding agent to tricycle, it will appear pink in your container and pink while it is wet:

2014-09-24 11.44.55

Not to worry, once dry, it is the beautiful, rich red you want:

Here’s a recently transformed China cabinet in tricycle, to give you an idea of what an entire piece looks like once sporting this hue:

2014-10-06 11.18.06 2014-10-06 11.17.47 2014-10-06 11.17.36 2014-10-06 12.10.53

Tricycle is a great color for the holidays, or any days…what would YOU paint with the “perfect red”?
