Burlap Roses Revivals

Monica chose the color Ironstone from the milk paint options for this adorable cabinet. As you can see the milk paint goes perfectly in a farmhouse.  It can be sanded like chalk paint to give a tattered look to a piece.

This hand painted furniture piece was painted with Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint –Trophy, lightly accented with a brown glaze and waxed to a silky smooth finish.  The glass in the door was missing, but it's less to clean now and the open look is hot!

There are so many intricate details on this piece and milk painting it makes them pop. 

Deeply Southern Home

Look at all this milk paint chippy goodness!  This treasured old sewing desk that belonged to Leslie's mom has a whole new life with Luckett's Green.  If you are looking for a  refreshing fun color then this is your ticket.  Who wouldn't smile very time they sit down to sew with this color.

Well, milk paint doesn't have to be hand painted furniture; it can be a sweet vintage bread box that got a new life with Aviary milk paint and given a rustic look to keep the character.

The hole punched tin has a beautiful design and adds to the look of this antique piece.

The Mountain View Cottage

This chest of drawers has been given a great look with Miss Mustard Seed Farmhouse White milk paint.

The chippy look is trending as you can tell in this post. This furniture can now lighten up any room. If you are expecting a new bundle of joy, it would add a soft piece that will grow with your little munchkin.

Blue Peaches Furniture

Eulalie’s sky is one of the milk paint colors that Miss Mustard Seed offers in her collection. Sometimes when you are a “furniture flipper,” there are pieces that you fall in love with and want to keep for yourself. That piece was just that for Jessica who gives old pieces new life daily.

Cottle & Gunn

This old dress harp sends a great message to us all. Even small pieces of broken furniture can be given a new life and add much beauty to your home.

Settling on the color Artissimo and adding a ribbon and boxwood wreath makes this a gorgeous art piece.

Mimosa Bean Farm

Kim mixed two milk paint colors together for this piece, Shutter Gray and Layla’s Mint. The muted tones of this table allow other colors pop in the room, but it still allows this piece to be a show stealer.

We first met Vibeke last Fall when we featured her porch in our Fall Porch Design post.

Today we are admiring her milk painted bench. It is perfect for a farmhouse mudroom or entryway.

And last but not least is Jennifer's gorgeous piece of furniture painted in Miss Mustard Seeds Aviary color.  Look at the details on this chest.   They are so precious but the milk paint is what really gives it charm.  I don't know about you but after seeing all these lovely pieces I need to drop what I am doing and go paint a chair or something.  LOL!
