Today I found that my local Home Hardware, where I purchase all my milk paint, now carries Miss Mustard Seed's milk paint line. For those of you who don't know who Miss Mustard Seed is, she's who I aspire to be. She owns a store, writes for HGTV, has a kick-ass blog, wrote a book, and just recently created her own line of paint. All based around painting furniture. Yes, she's my hero!
This piece is a custom piece I did for Lori, the owner of 'Pure'. She originally asked for it in black, and after one coat of black milk paint, I just couldn't go further. The piece was too chunky and the colour just looked dark and bulky. I asked her if I could try a light grey, (also known as 'Grain Sack') and away we went.
I was so happy with the result. I had the thought to paint the inside white, but once I was done distressing it, I thought the wood tones blended perfectly with the creamy tones of the piece. It's definitely not grey thought - it's very close to the Champlain colour carried by Homestead House Milk Paints!
I've been looking for an off-white cabinet for my new dining room to store toys in. I think this would fit perfectly. I hate to part with it.
