Short Buffet in Tricycle Red...

Here is my second attempt at using Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint...

this time, in "Tricycle Red..."

 

Here is the buffet "before..."

 

 

I thought this piece would lend itself to chipping,

and boy, did it ever!

 

 

It chipped, and chipped, and chipped some more...

 

 

I really love what became of it.

 

 

The top veneer had some cracks and chips that were beyond repair

so I had Mark do his thing with the 12" planer.

The wood underneath had some variations in color that wouldn't sand out...

I think it just adds to the character of this truly unique piece...

 

 

 

I can honestly say I've been converted to milk paint.

It's so easy and fun to use!

 

This piece is now SOLD.
 

Have you had experience with milk paint?

I would love to know what you think!

Have an awesome day!

Wash Stand in Kitchen Scale

My first attempt at painting with Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint was a huge success!

First of all, I ordered the paint from Robyn Story Designs.

They were so fast and friendly, I will definitely be ordering from them again!

 

I think I'm in love with milk paint...

 

Here is the "before" photo of this cute little wash stand I've had for a while now,

not knowing what to do with it...

 

 

I thought it was the perfect candidate for the "chippy" look milk paint is famous for...

Strangely enough, it hardly chipped at all.

 

 

Still, the chippy look was what I was going for,

 so I coaxed more of the paint off with my putty knife...

 

 

I waxed it with MMS Furniture Wax, which I LOVED.

It went on so smooth and easy!

And I used a bit of her Antiquing Wax as well.

 

 

Did I mention this color is "Kitchen Scale?"

It's absolutely lovely, I can't keep my eyes off of it.

 

 

I think I'm hooked on milk paint.

 

 

33 1/2" wide, 30" tall, 18 1/2" deep

SOLD.

Have a wonderful day!
