Miss Mustard Seed's Ironstone

Believe it or not, I have not fallen off the face of the planet. I currently have no computer, and really didn't want to create a post through my phone. Well I finally figured some kind of post is better than none.

I will be a retailer of Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint and got a few colors in a sample kit to try out. The paint is much different than any paint I've ever used. As you probably know' it's a powdered paint you mix with water. The plus to that is, it has an unlimited shelf life. You just mix what you need as you go.

I tried my hand with the color Ironstone on this table and chairs. (After publishing, I realized the pictures just all show up at the end.)

Typing on my phone is quite tedious, so I'll keep this short. Here is the finished project. (Again, just see all the pics at the end).

I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the colors!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Drab to Fab with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

This little table wasn't just drab.  It was downright grungy!  I think it must have been a work table in it's previous "life".  I thought it would be a good project for me to give my first try with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.  Yes, you heard me right, my first time using ASCP!  I finally have a stock paint store fairly close by now.

The chairs didn't come with the table.  But I thought they were a good match, with similar legs.  They were pretty grungy too.......

When I went to purchase my paint, I didn't have a specific project in mind yet.  I decided to pick up a couple of colors I'd heard mentioned frequently.  So I chose "Duck Egg Blue" and "Old White".  I also picked up a clear wax and a dark wax.  I used both colors and waxes on the table and chairs.  Here they are now looking "fab".  Well, I think so anyway.  You tell me what you think.

It felt good to complete a furniture project.  Since I've been traveling so much since October, I haven't been able to work on my projects.  I can't wait to try some more with ASCP!  Just as I've read many times, the dark wax was a bit of a challenge.  It might be too heavy handed for some tastes, but I'm hoping there will be someone out there that likes it enough to purchase it at the store.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Be on the look out for my next project, when I reveal a makeover for the gossip bench I showed here when I first found it.

Blessings!
