I finished this small cabinet with Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint in my favorite color Tricycle and then used the antiquing wax by MMSMP. The antiquing wax is easy to use and I love the way it gives just enough of an aged look to the wood. After you brush on the wax, let it dry and by the way it drys quickly. Take a buffing brush or soft rag and buff it to a beautiful shine. I added the knobs from Anthropologie and another project is complete. What will I paint next? Well come back in a couple of days to see what I've dug from the junk pile! And remember if you need paint, finish, brushes, etc. we are only a click away. Log onto www.freshjaspertexas.com
Our store will be open Friday and we have just returned from a great buying trip and we are still unloading our loot, so stop by and see us. We would love to show you our paint and help you get started on your next project.

This little handmade shelf with two drawers was desperately needing a make over. After much thought, I decided to paint it with Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint and add new jewelry (knobs). I had a couple of nice pulls from Anthropologie that I thought would look really cute on this small cabinet. It's kind of like buying a pair of shoes and then finding the right outfit, don't you think?
I'm using Tricycle red again - can you tell I LOVE red, especially MMSMP red! Here is a picture of the cabinet before I painted it. I cleaned it with Simple Green and removed the hardware. Now it's ready for the paint. The picture below shows how one coat looks as it is drying. It only takes two coats of MMSMP on most projects. After this dries I'll add a second coat and then sand with a sanding block and complete with a finish. I'll show you the finished shelf on my next post.
