Beautiful Blue!

 

 

I have been experimenting with Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint and I must say, I like it!

 

I chose to strip only the top of this one and not the ‘body’.  I love the look.

I did the same treatment on this. 

Beautiful Flow Blue

 

I am breaking away from my standard whites to play with Miss Mustard Seed’s milk paint. 

Last summer I ordered the retailer starter kit and anxiously awaited it’s arrival.    Unfortunately for me, 2 days before it arrived I fell and sprained my ankle.  I was completely out of commission for 3 months.   Then along came winter, yada, yada……   So now I’m ‘playing’!

 

I can be a little color shy so I started out with a small piece.

 

So here I go again with no real before.  I had already sanded the top when I thought to get a picture.  I don’t know about anyone else but sometimes I get myself in a tizzy when choosing colors – it’s very annoying.  It’s not like I’m paint the Sistine chapel or anything.  Jeez. 

 

 

I opted to stain the top (dark walnut) and paint the rest in MMS Flow Blue.

What a gorgeous color!

Finished it up with some Hemp Oil.

 

Here it is installed in the shop.    The photo isn’t very good because the sun ‘got in the way’ but………

Milk Paint

 

Just a quickie post to keep in the swing of things.   I’ve had the chance to play with MMS milk paint and I’m starting to get the hang of it. You know what they say about teaching an old dog new tricks…..well, they’re wrong…..you can…it just takes a little more patience!

 

This is Shutter Grey.  It has a beautiful blue undertone which doesn’t show up well in this photo because of the blue carpet in the shop.  I dry brushed white over it and I am loving it.  More experiments to come.
