Black Bench

July 23, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

We can’t even begin to tell you how thrilled we were when we lucked out and came across this solid oak bench. We nabbed it up right away. Benches are really hard to find these days. We are always on the lookout for them. So this find really made our day.

We chose to paint this one in our favorite combo, Miss Mustard Seed’s Typewriter Black Milk Paint and hemp oil. Milk paint and hemp oil are like peanut butter and jelly, they just go together. We like to apply the hemp oil with a chip brush and then wet sand it with a fine grit sandpaper. The result is the smoothest finish ever.

We didn’t get any chippy paint this time. You just never know what you are going to get with milk paint. It’s so unpredictable. We could have used some sort of resist and forced some chipping but we like the element of surprise. It’s half the fun of milk paint!

We did sand the edges and give the bench a light distress. We love the way the black looks with the natural wood.

Measures 48″L x 36″H x 17″D

Matching Side Tables

June 24, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

We couldn’t pass up these cute little side tables when we came across them. We just love the simple clean lines with just enough detail to keep them from being boring.

The tops were stained with Antique Oak by General Finishes and sealed with white wax. We painted the table bases in Mint Chip by DIY Paint. We finished by giving them a good sanding and distressing for a wonderful aged look.

The drawers have been lined with a coordinating fabric. We just happened to have this fabric left over from a previous project and it matched perfectly!

These little tables measure 14”W x 14”D x 28”H

Little Black Table

This sweet little table has been painted with General Finishes Lamp Black Milk Paint. We gave some areas just a light wash so the natural wood would peek through.

We lined the drawer with a black & white ticking fabric and added a fun custom ceramic knob to the front.

We love the beautiful curved detail that wraps around all four sides.

Measures 16″W x 16″D 29″ H

Little White Table

June 4, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

We couldn’t pass up this little side table with it’s beautiful little legs.

We are pretty sure it’s original use was as a telephone stand. The phone would naturally sit on top and the phone book would go underneath in the little cubby.

We painted this one in our favorite diy chalk paint using Behr Swiss Coffee. To be honest, we’ve tried many of the big name chalk paint lines in white and just haven’t found anything we like as much as our tried and true diy version.

We finished by sanding it super smooth, lightly distressing the edges and sealing with General Finishes High Performance Top Coat in flat.

This is such a versatile little table and would look great just about anywhere.

Dixie Dresser

We fell in love with the lines and details on this dresser the minute we saw it.

With all the beautiful detail we decided to keep things simple and paint it a nice clean white.

To showcase the details we gave the piece a light distressing.

The dresser and hardware are painted with Fusion Mineral Paint in Picket Fence.

We usually line our drawers but these solid wood drawers are like brand new. We like the fresh, clean look.

Check out those curves!

Measuring 38″W x 18″D x 30″H makes it the perfect size for a foyer, hall, dining room and of course a bedroom.

White Planked Side Table

May 7, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

This little lovely will be heading to the booth at Brothers Antiques North later today. It was in really sad shape when we found it. We cleaned it up and added planks to the top for a little more character. It’s painted with our signature white chalk paint, lightly distressed and sealed with clear wax.

We love a planked top!

Beautiful New Cabinet

April 29, 2019 by admin 3 Comments

This piece isn’t our usual style but there was just something about it that made us want to give it a makeover. And it turned out beautifully.

We painted it in our favorite white chalk paint, did a very light distressing and sealed it with General Finishes High Performance in flat.

These beautiful glass knobs from D. Lawless Hardware were the perfect finishing touch!

Not only is this cabinet beautiful but it offers plenty of storage and a working drawer.

Decorative Clay Pots

We are learning quickly that “smalls” are a very important part of booth selling. We are working hard to keep our small items fresh and unique.

We think we hit the mark with these little clay pots. Aren’t they adorable?

They are painted in our signature white chalk paint, stenciled black and sealed with clear wax. We added a little green and moss to complete the look.

Typewriter Black

April 20, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

We love to add touches of black when decorating. Below are a few pieces we have added to our booth this week. Milk paint gives us that beautiful time worn finish we love so much. Typewriter by Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint is one of our favorites.

When sanded and sealed with hemp oil milk paint has the smoothest, most luxurious finish.
