Yesterday I had the great privilege of taking a Miss Mustard Seed milk paint course with the president of Homestead House Milk Paint. It was such a wonderful pleasure to absorb all her years of knowledge.
The other retailers there were so gracious to help me make my sample color boards. I still have to wax them and as soon as I do I’ll get some good pics posted.
Miss mustard seed milk paint coming soon to Consign to Design in Knoxville, TN.
Just a few examples of the endless possibilities!
I am so excited to announce that very soon, The Painted Perch, will be carrying Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint. This paint is one of a kind product available in 12 beautifully rich colors.
I am excited to share more with you very soon!
Wow, it has been so long since I have posted a blog! It has been such a crazy few months between traveling and the family sharing illnesses. I have a lot of projects and an upcoming announcement to share in the near future so I hope to be blogging more!
My 3 year old daughter is getting into crafting and I love it. Instead of calling them crafts she calls them craps! Its to funny now, but will have to correct her soon!
So as usual I have zero pictures of us making our craft but will share anyway. I purchased foam board and the felt heart from the dollar store and had the red chevron paper from target about a month ago knowing I wanted to do something crafty with it. Not to mention I am in love with anything chevron! I drew out the letters using my yard stick and did some easy measurements to try and make everything even. One thing i didn’t think about until after the fact was making sure the letters were short enough to fit the paper around it. It is wrapping paper but a shorter roll than the normal wrapping paper. I cut the letters out with an exacto knife and then my daughter and I simply taped the paper on the back side pretty much the way you would wrap a gift. I had a really hard time drawing the perfect O so I started looking for a oval object I could use to trace but then I saw found the red heart and wallah. There you have it, pretty easy. Next time I will try to make prettier letters.
After months of sitting in our garage I finally did it! And here is the big reveal. I, however, forgot to take pictures of these pieces before I painted them. I have got to get better at this. I think I get so excited to paint that I just go for it and forget. Anyway, I bought this set to transition my three year old from her baby furniture to her “big girl furniture.” Continue reading

There is a good story to this piece! Every once in a while my husband will bring a piece of furniture home (without my knowing or more importantly my approval.)
