Have You Heard About Linen?

Well have you?

Of course you have!

I ‘m talking about Miss Mustard Seeds milk paint in linen.

It is one of my favorite colors in her line.

Recently while shopping I found this piece.

I know it does not look like much.The color is pretty ugly.

But as soon as I saw this piece I thought Miss Mustard Seed paint in Linen!

So I grabbed it and off I went.

Do you find pieces like that.

They speak to you.

When you find it you know exactly what you want to do with it.

I love how this turned out!

It really looks like an authentic old piece!

I believe this is a plant stand but I am enjoying it with  my cherub garden statue.

I added this piece to my family room.In the corner with my old door!

You can see what it looked like recently HERE

I know I need to venture out and try another color.

But this piece is for me!

It’s not going to my space at 417.

And you know how much I love white!

Have you found any treasures recently?

Please share!

    Okay, that does it. I’m ordering her paint. That turned out unbelievably awesome!

  30. I have yet to find Miss Mustard Seed’s paint. I love that there is competition out there so we have choices. I’ve enjoyed working with Annie Sloan but now you have me curious about this one. Great job on the distressing!
