 There was an antique market this past weekend in New Oxford, a small town in PA.  They close down the cross streets on the center square (it’s a circle, really) and bring in antique vendors to set up and sell their wares.  My mom and I set out on Saturday morning to see if we [...] read more]]> http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/some-favorite-finds-the-online-shop/feed/ 44 http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/paint-bar-stool-tutorial-part-1/ http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/paint-bar-stool-tutorial-part-1/#comments Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:56:28 +0000 Miss Mustard Seed http://missmustardseed.com/?p=9751
I’m painting my kitchen bar stools one at a time, so my kids don’t freak out.  They sit at them quite often during the day for meals, snacks, drinks, treats, coloring, playing with the iPad, etc.  So, I’m working on number two and thought I would take some pictures along the way for a tutorial.

I decided it was time to update some of my “painting posts”, sharing the products and techniques I use now vs. a few year ago.  I was looking through some of the posts highlighted on my side bar and they are ancient!  It’s time for an update!  So, what better place to start than paint?

 When I last showed the barrel-back French cane chair, it looked like this… In the picture, it has one coat of French Enamel Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint.  I then applied a second coat, followed by a light wash of a mix of Shutter Gray, Eulalie’s Sky and Grain Sack.   (Eulalie’s Sky is one [...] read more]]> http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/antiquing-wax-tutorial/feed/ 61 http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/furniture-feature-friday-kathleens-favorites-a-link-party-2/ http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/furniture-feature-friday-kathleens-favorites-a-link-party-2/#comments Fri, 14 Jun 2013 02:00:26 +0000 Miss Mustard Seed http://missmustardseed.com/?p=9705

I have the honor of being a guest over at Annie Selke’s Blog Fresh America today.   Annie Selke is known for her flawless taste, fabrics, Dash & Albert rugs and Pine Cone Hill Bedding, so I wanted to share a project that would compliment her products.  I came up with making a slipcover for [...] read more]]> http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/100-shopping-credit-to-pine-cone-hill/feed/ 972 http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/milk-painted-bar-stool/ http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/milk-painted-bar-stool/#comments Thu, 13 Jun 2013 02:41:54 +0000 Miss Mustard Seed http://missmustardseed.com/?p=9688
After a few years of leaving them as I bought them (I know, what is wrong with me?), I finally started painting my Target bar stools.  I actually just painted one to experiment, before I did the other two. I love how it pops against the white cabinets and wood counters now.  Before, the stools [...] read more]]> http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/milk-painted-bar-stool/feed/ 47 http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/some-things-to-expect-with-milk-paint/ http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/some-things-to-expect-with-milk-paint/#comments Wed, 12 Jun 2013 02:02:39 +0000 Miss Mustard Seed http://missmustardseed.com/?p=9672
I’m currently working on revamping the MMS Milk Paint site and making some updated video tutorials.  I also want to share more about it on my blog to help those who are dipping their toes or taking the plunge into the world of milk paint.  It’s different than any other paint, so it’s nice to [...] read more]]> http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/some-things-to-expect-with-milk-paint/feed/ 47 http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/living-with-white/ http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/living-with-white/#comments Tue, 11 Jun 2013 02:11:29 +0000 Miss Mustard Seed http://missmustardseed.com/?p=9665
 I’ve received a few e-mails lately about how it is living with white furniture, a white kitchen floor, a white bathroom floor, especially with little boys, so I thought I would address it in a post. I’ve been making white slipcovers and using white bedding for about 9 years.  I started because of practicality and [...] read more]]> http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/living-with-white/feed/ 63 http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/better-than-drop-cloths/ http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/better-than-drop-cloths/#comments Mon, 10 Jun 2013 01:45:41 +0000 Miss Mustard Seed http://missmustardseed.com/?p=9646
My family room has been undergoing some changes over the past few months…years, really.  It’s been one of those slow makeovers that has happened (and is still happening) as the money and time are available.  It started a couple of years ago when I painted the walls and cabinetry and made new curtains.  In January [...] read more]]> http://missmustardseed.com/2013/06/better-than-drop-cloths/feed/ 68
