I have had Miss Mustard Seeds paint in grain sack for sometime now and have wanted to use it and finally had the opportunity to try it out on a table I found recently.
This summer I have not been fortunate enough to visit many garage sales.We have been super busy and have not had the time.Our summer break is nearing the end!
But very a couple of weeks ago I scored big at a garage sale.
One of the pieces was this medicine cabinet I found for 20.00.I thought that was a great price.Love the patina on this.
I added this to my Creative space HERE
And at that very same garage sale I spotted this piece too.
Not very attractive I know.But for 3.00 I knew I could make this shine again.It was missing a knob.
The one that is on this piece is one I added from my collection of hardware I always have on hand.
That’s the reason the seller told me she was parting with it…..because she did not like the handle.
I guess she did not realize it is pretty easy to switch out !
One of the reasons I fell for this piece was the oval inset on this door.
After I cleaned this piece up I simply painted it with Miss Mustard Seed milk paint in Grain Sack.
This is such a pretty color.It looks white but on this piece it is a very soft faint creamy gray color.
I added this to my bedroom.
The piece I had in here no longer fit after my changes.I was going to repaint it.But when I found this piece I knew this would work perfectly in this spot!
Am I the only one that really hates cords….of any sort and kind!
Hence the reason I have that little milking stool and basket full of lavender bags.
Yes it does balance out this space but is also hiding a outlet and phone jack.
Don’t you love the patina!
I wanted to keep this simple but it needed something.
I added this firkin with some dried hydrangeas from my garden.
My hydrangeas are late blooming this year.They are just now starting to bloom!
My vintage screen is the perfect backdrop too.I just added some burlap to the screen and tied it to the posts with twine.
Oh and I love my boots!

That turned out just great, Anne. I have still not played with milk paint! (I used it back in the 70’s but then we only used it on raw wood). That’s funny about the cords- I mentioned them in my blog today, too. They drive me nuts- xo Diana
Hmmm I’m thinking I just found the paint for my kitchen cabinets. Love this Anne!!
What a wonderful transformation. Love the color!!
Oh, big SIGH!!!! Amazing transformation and so so romantic and beautiful!
I am exactly like you, I make sure I hide plugs and cords. I am struggling with a lamp placement right now because of the cord showing.
Your vignette is lovely.
How pretty Anne!! Perfect patina… sigh..
Hugs, Gee
Oh my Anne, how gorgeous is this!!! For some reason and I am not just saying this, I had feeling that the inset I the reason you bought that table. I liked it for the same reason. This vignette turned out beautifully. Great job!

Oh Anne I love that little cabinet and the color is awesome. It looks so great in the corner of your bedroom. I think I may have to try that color too. It is super pretty. Love the medicine cabinet that is gorgeous too. You got some good treasures.

That is so funny that she never thought of changing out the knob! Such a pretty piece now that you’ve worked your magic on it! The door is so pretty!
Love it!! Everything looks great in that corner of your bedroom…so pretty!!
