This paint will stick to almost EVERYTHING!

CeCe Caldwell's paints and Miss Mustard Seed's Milk paints will stick to almost any surface! My mom brought these gold candle holders to my house one afternoon and asked if I wanted them. I said sure, I think I may paint them and give them a new look. My first coat of paint was Ironstone by Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint. It covered the gold perfectly. I was painting another piece with CeCe Caldwell's Santa Fe Turquoise so I decided to stipple some of that on the candle holders. My last coat was Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint Mustard Yellow. I really like mixing both of the paints to give a nice texture. I finished the candle holders with CeCe Caldwell's Endurance. This was a fun and fast painting project.

What a difference a little paint makes! Here are the before and after pictures of this quick and easy makeover. 

Doors Added to Cupboard: Part 2

Yesterday I posted about the 1930's cupboard I purchased at Canton Trade Days. I removed the doors for a more open look but decided to paint the old doors with Miss Mustard Seed's Eulalie's Sky to add some color. I can't decide which I like better but it does give me another option and I like options! 
I used Hemp Oil to finish this old cabinet. Hemp Oil is one of my favorite ways to finish Milk Painted furniture. The oil is food safe so you can also use it on your wooden bowls and cutting boards. Dry pieces of wood can be revived with Hemp Oil to give a nice fresh look. After you have painted your furniture apply the oil with a soft cloth or brush, let dry for several hours, and then remove any excess with a clean rag. You can add several layers of the Hemp Oil for more protection. I usually apply two coats to my projects. Would you like to learn more about the Milk Paint?
