I don’t know why I left this piece sitting in my basement for so long! It was finished a couple of weeks ago and I finally hauled it up today for a photo shoot.  I knew I would have fun with it and I did.  It’s definitely a favorite.  Say hello to the MMS Milk Paint color “Grain Sack”…

 Here’s the piece before…

 …and this piece gets better when you start opening it up…

I have a wee bit of a crush on this piece and the play of colors, chippiness and wood.   (The interior is painted in Shutter Gray, by the way.)  So, why did I call this color grain sack?

It may look white-ish, but it’s more of a neutral gray, like a nubby old European grain sack.

I not only love this color straight up, but it’s my favorite to mix with strong colors to soften them up.

I’m bringing this piece and a van full of milk paint to Lucketts tomorrow!
