10 Minute Makeover: Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and Miss Mustard Seed White Wax

                                                                     Ten minutes.  

                                                                                                                                                   Literally. 

That's exactly how long it took for me to make over the frames on these two fabulous owl prints using Annie Sloan chalk paint in "Graphite" and some Miss Mustard Seed White Wax.  

                                                                          Ten minutes.... including the four minutes that it took me to put the tape around them so that I didn't make a big mess all over the glass.

Chalk Paint, Dark Wax and Hemp Oil Table Makeover

Today, I'm making over a coffee table/storage bench using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and Miss Mustard Seed hemp oil.  I often mix brands and finishes on the same piece of furniture since there really is no single brand that is the "best" in every situation. 

How to Create a Non-Chippy Milk Paint Finish on Raw Wood

I couple of weeks ago, I made a trek to my local IKEA to look at cabinets for Phase 2 of the renovation here at the farmhouse. Of course, once I finished that, I spent the next hour and a half looking at everything else including a couple of these adorable, unfinished, step stools.  I just knew that they would be perfect to use to reach the upper cabinets in the kitchen and the shelves in the garage show you how Miss Mustard Seed milk paint behaves on raw, previously unfinished, wood. Today, I'm sharing the first one which I painted using milk paint in "kitchen scale".

Milk Painted Rustic Farmhouse Linen Cabinet Tutorial

A couple of weeks ago, I finally started using the Miss Mustard Seed Milk paint products that I purchased last fall from Robyn Story designs (Link HERE). (I'd highly recommend Robyn for your MMS needs. She sometimes offers free shipping and her staff is incredibly helpful).

Two weeks ago,  I used MMS hemp oil to restore and preserve vintage, unpainted, wood pieces in my home. This week, I'm sharing a very basic paint job on a pine linen cabinet for the bathroom.

Miss Mustard Seed Hemp Oil on Unpainted Vintage Wood

When I write a post about vintage or reclaimed furniture, you'll usually find me talking about painting it. Over the next several weeks, I'm going to talk to you about pieces that I choose not to paint and the finishes that I use on those items. Today, I'm sharing my experience with Miss Mustard Seed's hemp oil on vintage pieces used inside my home as an alternative to wax or polyurethane.
