We’ve had a lot of fun playing with our Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paints<\/h1>\n

While renovating our shop we used Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint<\/a> for almost all our painted surfaces except the walls! I’ll be posting bits and pieces about how and what we painted.<\/p>\n

My favourite I think is our actual MMSMP display cabinet. You know I love to upcycle, recycle, restore and use pieces with a story – and this one has a story<\/p>\n

We found it upstairs in the previous owner’s workshop. Can I just say, I love it up there. I can feel him up there sometimes smiling and urging me on! This old girl was hanging on a wall and full of dust and sandpaper and old tools. She apparently came out of a 100-year-old abandoned house in Nova Scotia (a place very close to my heart). \u00a0We were given permission to use it and took her down one afternoon.<\/p>\n

It was dirty,<\/p>\n

And mice had made a lovely nest at some point on the top,<\/p>\n

and it was kinda falling apart,<\/p>\n

and it was peeling,<\/p>\n

but she had good bones and I had a vision,<\/p>\n

so we cleaned her up.<\/p>\n

Then sanded off the peeling finish.<\/p>\n

And my awesome hubby build new shelves and a new top,<\/p>\n

and I mixed up some paint – one of my favourites – Miss Mustard Seed Kitchen Scale<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I painted her – in the dark. I was super eager and did 1 coat, went to yoga class next door and did the second coat as I was anxious to see (anyone else like that?). One favourite thing about using Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint is NO PRIMING first. Love that!<\/p>\n

I was going to leave her solid Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint<\/a>\u00a0Kitchen Scale, but I decided to add a coat of Grainsack. First I hemp oiled it, then painted and distressed it – oh my – the lovely fun that was. For real. My idea of fun. \u00a0(Paint nerd, I know) There were a few oohs and awwws and I was alone! I ended up distressing it with a damp cloth, it was so great and easy. I did end up using my wire scraper thingie (NOT the proper name – um sorry) to sand down to the wood in areas so the oak would show through. I must say, I am super happy with the way it turned out.<\/p>\n

I decided to keep the door open and put some chicken wire in the centre, hubby humoured me and did it – he no longer questions, just does and it looks great! (He thinks so too!)<\/p>\n

\"frontporchmercantile.comThe inside of the cabinet was given 2 coats of hemp oil, and it has been holding up very well! (the oil is still wet in this picture).<\/p>\n

Hubby put it up and we loaded it up with our Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint and accompanying products and we’ve had great reviews, she is a beauty if I do say so myself!<\/p>\n

I’ve had an offer to buy her but she’s a keeper, she kinda just belongs here I think! What do you think?<\/p>\n

Thanks for popping in, leave me a comment, I love to hear your feedback!<\/p>\n

Happy New Year!<\/p>\n
