The Perfect Milk Paint Color

February 6, 2014

I think I found the perfect milk paint color.

Seriously

Let me share.

I have had this stool for a couple of years or so,and it was in need of a little update.

I grew tired of the white washed paint look.

A week ago I received an email from Robyn Designs.

The email said if you spend 50.00 on Miss Mustard Seed paint products  you will receive a free paint mixer.

And they are offering free shipping on Miss Mustard Seed paint products too!

I noticed that Miss Mustard Seed had lots of new colors.

The one that caught my eye was Eulalie’s Sky.

I decided to place my order with this paint and her wax too,which by the way is one of my favorites!

Not a pretty photo I know,but as you can see it is on my painters tarp ready to get painted.

First I want to tell you I love this paint mixer.

It does what it’s supposed to do,mix the paint.

As you can see I used a large plastic container I bought at the hardware store.

This container works great for mixing milk paint!

As I was mixing this color I knew I was going to love this on my stool.

All I can say is wow,love this color!

I know this will work perfect in my home especially paired with my pinks.

Okay this is going to sound silly,but this color makes me happy.

There is something about this color that makes you smile.

It has a vintage look and feel to it.

This is one of those colors that will work with so many designs and styles.

I think it has a bit of a Shabby Chic look to it.

Instead of using Miss Mustard Seeds wax I decided to try her hemp oil.

This was so easy to use and I love the look !

It’s nice to have another option besides wax when sealing painted  furniture.

I think I may be using Miss Mustard Seed paint on my daughters cabinets  in her  bathroom!

But I have another color in mind so stay tuned!

    Love the color you chose Anne and that stool is fabulous! I think I might be buying some MMS Milk Paint soon. I really love Grain Sack and I just love seeing all these Milk Paint Projects out there. Wonderful inspiration.

      Ha! So funny Suzan,well I think that is what inspired this for Marian.I remember when she first started her line she was using a larger one that was used for milk.

    Wow! I adore that color too. That stool looks like it was meant to wear that color. Did the milk paint automatically distress like that or did you sand it in certain areas. It’s perfectly done!

      Good question Kelly,actually I distressed it with a sanding block.But it was not much effort to do so.This sands very easily.

    I love this color, too! I’ve never tried MMS paints, only the ASCP so maybe it’s time for me to branch out. That color is just so perfect, I am drooling over here…..

    Your stool turned out wonderfully! I’m having fun experimenting with milk paint, too! My favorite part is mixing my own “custom” colors! Eulalie’s sky is the perfect choice for you! Happy Friday!

    So beautiful! I’ve never used milk paint before, been using chalk paint for a few years. Do you like the milk paint more than chalk paint?

      Jeanine that is a good question.I have to say I do enjoy working with both. I can’t really pick one over the other.I think that there is a need for both.As a creative person and artist I love using different mediums.With Chalk paint you get a little bit of texture in the paint,I love that as it feels layered and old.On the other hand with milk paint you can get a really chippy look or a really soft look.

    Your post makes me happy. It is beautiful/ I am in love with that color too. I have never used milk paint but from the looks of your pretty stool, I am hooked on it already. I love the pink roses. Pink is a perfect match for this color. Thanks for sharing.

    Hugs,

    Janet

    I love how your stool turned out! I used this color on a nightstand and have been struggling with how to finish it off (light wax, dark wax???) and now that I see yours with the hemp oil, I think I’ll try that as it really looks wonderful!

    Anne, I really love the color of the stool, it is one of my favorite colors. never have used milk paint or chalk paint. that color will be pretty on so many things and will be a good color for decorating with other colors. Great job…Best wishes on opening your store, hope it is everything you hoped it would be and is a great success!!!

    I love this colour too! We just bought a small cottage and the main bedroom is tight for room fitting only a double bed, so my bedside tables will be two of those stools so they can be used for extra seating if needed. I am going to paint them just like yours. They will be beautiful and functional; can’t wait for summertime to come!

ABOUT THIS BLOG

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi I'm Anne.
I started this blog many years ago to share my passion for home decor. My tastes have changed and so did I.
We recently moved to Florida and we are starting a new chapter. My main focus on this blog has shifted. With that I'll be sharing more than home decor.
You'll see makeup tips, skincare, fashion and a little bit of decor as well. You can check out my Youtube channel as well and follow me along. I'll leave all of my older posts up as a reference. But you'll see lots of changes.
