I have a confession to make. I have been holding out on you, my readers. I started using a paint a few months ago and have not shared it with you. Yes. I confess. I’m a terrible, horrible, selfish, wretched blogger.
Whew! I feel so much better now that I have that off my chest. To assuage my guilt, I am hosting an amazing giveaway. John Millen Hardware is graciously offering one winner their choice of two Old Fashioned Milk Paint colors, plus one tin of Fiddes and Sons’ Clear Wax and one tin of Rugger Brown Wax.
Milk Paint is the secret behind my super-chippy pieces that always get a big reaction. I sold this one even before I could get it to the Lucketts Antique Market in May and I had two other people ask to buy it (even with a SOLD tag on it.)
(Color – Slate)
I’m going to make some video tutorials on working with Milk Paint, because it’s a little tricky, but the results are fabulous. The first thing you’ll notice is that it comes in powder form in a bag. This means you have to do the mixing, but you just add equal parts warm water and stir.
I buy these plastic quart-sized buckets to store the mixed paint in.
The consistency is much different from a latex, oil or chalk paint. It is a little thinner and the first coat is usually a little transparent and streaky. This is a great look if you want a very worn, authentic finish. Apply a second coat for better coverage.
Here’s where my favorite part comes it. The paint will randomly peel away from the piece you’re painting. Sometimes it will peel a little, sometimes a lot. This results in a very authentic looking chipped and aged finish. All of the texture and beauty of the chippy goodness we love and none of the worries of lead paint.
I generally distress the paint further and finish with a coat of Fiddes and Sons Wax. If you don’t like the chippy look, you can mix the Milk Paint with a bonding agent that helps it adhere better.
The vanity/desk above is currently available for sale at The Old Lucketts Store in Lucketts, VA. Thanks to
John Millen Hardware for supplying me with this amazing piece of furniture!
So, are you interested in giving Milk Paint a try?
(Color: Sea Green)
To enter for your chance to win two quarts of
Old Fashioned Milk Paint and two tins of
Fiddes and Sons Wax, visit John Millen Hardware’s selection of
Milk Paint colors and leave a comment here letting me know which two you want to try. (My favorites are Snow White, Sea Green and Slate.) Colors can also be easily mixed to make custom colors.
John Millen Hardware is giving you additional ways to win a second giveaway drawing they are running! Follow them on
Twitter and you receive one entry into
their Milk Paint and Wax giveaway. Purchase something from their
online store and you will get three more entries into their drawing!

Furniture Feature Friday is posted below and will run through Saturday at midnight PST.

Wow – this looks great. I ave never heard of milk paint! I love the sea green and slate colors. So pretty and smokey. Thanks for hosting this fab giveaway! 🙂
Wow, so pretty. I like oyster white and slate.

I will have to try that paint. Sounds like something new and fun and that always keeps me going! Love the color and the solid stained top, great job.

I would love to win this! My dining room set is in desperate need of some TLC and this would definitely be the ticket to update it! I would love to try buttermilk and sea green (I think – it's hard to choose). Thank you for the chance to win!
I love the sea green and have been reading up on all of the paints that you use! Would love to try it! Buying a log cabin and can see using a lot of this type!
I would like to try sea green and slate….I have dabbled with antiquing furniture and would love to try sea green on some new "old" piece for my toddler girl's room and I have a $15 table calling Slate's name for my own bedroom! Pick Me!
I always will jump at the chance to try out a new product, and when there completely safe for me and my kids (born and unborn) that's so much better! I'd love to try out this milk paint and I've been dying to get some Fiddes and Sons Waxes! I tried to look at the milk paint colors, but they all said "image coming soon" so no luck. 🙁
Always beautiful pieces. I would like to try slate and snow white.
I love the snow white and slate colors… I can be so predictable that way but I love those colors. Thanks for hosting!
Wow ,what a great giveaway. I would love to try this paint. Shay @ shay2shay2@hotmail.com
Love the slate color and the oyster white. Thanks for hosting a great giveaway!
Holly
I love the sea Green and slate!
sea grass and slate i would pick, for sure! i want a chippy dresser.
nlpwolo@yahoo.com
Snow white or slate would be perfect for the end table in my living room! It is pristine cherry wood drop leaf table that does not match the rest of the woods in there. Thanks for the opportunity to win a project!
oyster and sea green please!
thanks for the opportunity.
Love slate and sea green. I have a cabinet I want to try it on. Thanks
Snow white and buttermilk!
Snow white and slate for me! I would love to give this a try. Love how it looks on the pieces you have finihsed.
Love the light cream and federal blue!
Milk paint is my favorite. But, I haven't tried the powder yet. Doesn't the powder form spoil if not used withing a day or two? I'd love to try it. the Mustard and the Barn Red sound very interesting. Your site is awesome because you are so willing to share your information. Thanks.
Off to find a garage sale treasure to use this fabulous paint on (even if I have to buy the paint myself!). Love the barn red and the driftwood.

I'd love to try the Tavern Green or the Slate. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
i would love to try slate and snow white!
rwvanvoorhis at gmail dot com
Bayberry Green and Sea Green sound delish! I want to try!
I love this piece! I would like to try Light Cream and Slate. I did order Fiddles & Sons' wax from John Millen Hardware and it arrived very quickly. Thanks for the suggestion.
Those paint names sounds scrumptious right? Oh okay I need breakfast, love the pumpkin and oyster white. Thanks for the giveaway fun.
Love the Slate…and for something a little more fun – Soldier Blue! Your amazing furniture is causing me sleepless nights wandering what all I could paint in my house! I'm trying to be patient until my chalk paint arrives!
Oddly enough, I just read about milk paint last week for the first time in my 40someodd years and was intrigued. I'd love to try their light cream milk paint on some sad end tables in our den…and the second color would be a toss up between the tavern green and the sea green.
Jeannie
Slate and Snow White please! shelbymaui@hotmail.com
So hard to choose! But I would love to try Mustard and Oyster White. Thanks for the contest!
Oh WOW! I just discovered Chalk Paint! I can NOT wait to try this paint!
That piece is fabulous! It's my dream to redo furniture for a living:-)
I would LOVE to try the Slate and Sea Green
Thank you!
Such a cool look! I love the sea green and snow white!
OMG! This looks so fun to try! I would like Soldier Blue and Salmon!!! Crossing my fingers!
Sea Green and Mustard. Yes, please, please, please, oh please, oh please, oh please.
I follow them on twitter! I'm @girlinair
I will check out the shop and come back if I purchase before the 27th…but I'm positive if you recommend it…I'm BUYING it!
Salmon and Light Cream would be my choice — I'd certainly love the opportunity to try this. Thanks for offering.
Thanks so much for the give away opportunity:)! I would like to try the Snow White and, um-m, maybe the Slate. I really appreciate you sharing ALL your talent, you are such an inspiration! Blessings to you and your family.Kim W.
Slate and oyster white, I think! So many to choose from! My parent's old bedroom suite is just begging for a milk-paint re-do!

I also LOVE the Snow White! I can only image all the projects I could do with this milk paint!
Alright, I am being technologically challenged today. Only colors I see are Oyster White, Buttermilk and Light Cream…. but I'd love to try something in the light blue and light green spectrum.
I'd love to give this Milk Paint a go, all the projects I see online look awesome! Tres Chic.

OH SO EXCITED!!! I have a piece that I will be buying some of this paint to redo! BUT if I win…. I would LOVE the Snow white and sea green!!! Thank YOU SO much for your inspirations!! Kelly

I like the oyster and tavern green
I would love to try the light cream and the soldier blue. I just love the look of your furniture and have been wanting to try something like it myself. thanks for the chance!
I think I'd choose Barn Red and Slate. Thank you! tkcharlesworth@aol.com
Hi, Miss Mustard Seed! I love your blog and plan to visit here ofter, now that I've found you. The milk paint creations you have posted are gorgeous. I am redecorating our guest room in the Regency style and think one painted signature piece would look great! I would like to try Oyster White and Slate.
Thanks for a fun contest!
sea green and slate please!
Snow white and Sea Green please! Mainly because you liked them. Thanks for the giveaway. I'm wondering how many pieces of furniture you had to refinish before you became the pro you are ?! Kat
oooo! fun! I've only ever tried the liquid form of milk paint! I'd love to try the Snow White or the Sea Green. I think it was the Soldier Blue (the brighter one of the blues) was also really pretty. Fingers crossed! 🙂 thanks for hosting the giveaway!!
Love a giveaway :).
I like the sea green and oyster white! Sounds like dinner!
Wow! great pieces. I am constantly picking up pieces on the side of the road, and as a male fresh out of college, my friends think Im crazy! But Id love to try the buttermilk or sea green colors on my newest craigslist piece, Which is a surprise table for my fiance.
Thanks, Love your stuff
Mark from Memphis-
Ooooh, I like the Snow White and Slate too! What a great look.
I just visited their website, they got great prices, I did not know this paint existed. Your pieces really look amazing and it looks almost effortless. My favorites are the slate and the buttermilk. Thanks for sharing

Milk paint sounds like a very interesting finish. I would love the Barn Red and the slate.
Thank you for the giveaway. Jackie
Slate and Driftwood . . . maybe the two combined for an old weathered look!
Light Cream and Driftwood!
I would love to try the slate and light cream, please!
After spending 3 years of working on our 1950's Ranch, we are finally moving onto the fun part of decorating and have recently spent many "date nights" at home building our own furniture and refinishing Craigslist finds. My husband really likes things "chippy" and this would be great to try on our next date night. We love all the fun colors, but if we had to pick two, it would be the Slate and Snow White. Thanks! mnsnowberger@yahoo.com
Very pretty! I tried milk paint a decade or more ago and without proper instructions was disappointed. You love it so I would love to try it again. Should I win, my favorites are Lexington Green and Light Cream. Thank you and John Millen Hardware for an awesome giveaway!!
For some reason the colors aren't showing up for me! But I am a cream and black girl, loving greys and blues though! 🙂 I'd love to try this! Thanks Marian! Melaine
Bayberry green and buttermilk!! those are gorgeous colors!!
Hmmm… I think snow white and sea green are my favorite colors. Thank you!
Wow this is great, I tried milk paint in the early 90's. I still have a small jar that I never used and was planning to paint a tray with it. I'd love to try slate and oyster white. Thanks for the great give away.
Soldier blue and oyster white! Thanks for sharing…
I'd have to say, like you, my favorites are Snow White & Sea Green. I'd love to try milk paint and have the perfect piece to try it on. Thank you.
Buttermilk and Bayberry Green look very interesting. Thanks for the opportunity to try milk paint!
I would go for the slate or light cream! LOVE it =)
Wow Marian, what a great giveaway, I'm with you, the paint colors I liked best are sea green, slate and snow white, I have a good taste don't you think? Unfortunately I live in a state of cavemen, can you believe there is no place in Utah to buy the Annie Sloan chalk paint, I don't know if there is a place to buy milk paint, I would love to try it. Thank you for the chance to win this amazing giveaway!
XXX Ido
I would go for pitch black and sea green!
Mindy~
I have not tried Milk Paint yet but I have been researching it a lot! I want to try the chalk paint but it's plain to expensive for this thrifty girl. So I am going to make my own chalk paint and also try to win this give away for the milk paint. I love your blog. You are my inspiration!
I would love to try snow white and sea green.
Thank you for hosting another awesome give away!

What a lovely giveaway ~ thank you so much! I like the Buttermilk and Sea Green (since I can only choose 2).
Gorgeous! Definitely Oyster White and Sea Green. Thanks for the opportunity!
SO GLAD I STUMBLED ONTO YOUR SITE~ YOUR WORK IS BEAUTIFUL!!!! THANKS FOR ALL THE IDEAS & INSPIRATION…
I LOVED THE COLOR BARN RED & LIGHT CREAM…
Thanks for sharing how you got that look! Love it!
I'd choose the Snow White and Slate for starters, but there are several others I know I'd love also.
I brought home a dresser from an auction last week and am dying to paint it – I think the milk paint would look amazing on it!
It's sitting on my front porch right now, so I gotta do something soon with it! I'm sure my neighbors are annoyed by the flea market appearance of my porch!
Wish I had a blog, but I don't yet. One of these days!
Blessings,

I am intrigued! I always tend to gravitate towards the whites and maybe a pink or charcoal 😉
What great timing! I'm hoping to paint some furniture in the very near future, so I am going to be very optimistic and hope I win Snow White and Slate. 🙂
aliff. angela @ gmail .com
I couldn't wait to win 🙂 so I'm ordering the Lt.Cream and Slate.

Look forward to the video.
I like the Soldier Blue and the Driftwood. I would love to try them. Thanks for telling us about different products.
I have seen milk paint in catalogs and always wanted to try some. I would probably pick Slate and Light Cream. Your pieces are so gorgeous. I so hope I win. Thanks for the chance!
Oh Their website has some of the COOOLEST THINGS!!! I ordered some Oyster white and Slate but forgot to leave my email on the last post… oops. Would love the white and she pub green.
kelpooh2@aol.com
Thanks!
Kelly
I'm loving snow white and tavern green, though your sea green piece is lovely, too. And what a fantastic price for a product I'm super excited about! Thanks for sharing.
I've been wanting to try the milk paint myself! Oyster White & Sea Green for me……..THANK YOU!
I would choose the Slate and Snow White.
I would like to try the sea green and oyster white
katjb401@yahoo.com
Oh my gosh, I have a sad little hutch that I have been meaning to redo for a month just sitting in the garage. This look is amazing!! I like snow white and slate. Thanks!
I'd love to try the sea green and snow white. I have an awesome french style buffet and I've been dying to bite the bullet and try painting/distressing it. Thanks for sharing this!
I love the soldier blue and cream and I love that old worn look you can obtain with this paint. Plus its so affordable!!
audrey.lou85@yahoo.com
Ooooh how fun! Crossing my fingers for a win! I would try the seagreen & maybe the driftwood!
I would love to try the slate and oyster. Love this piece that you did, and love your kitchen cabinets.

Oyster white and Soldier Blue are two of my favorites-actually, I like them all. Thank you so much for hosting such a fabulous giveaway!
I think I would enjoy the buttermilk color. I have a desk that I've been waiting to refinish for my entryway. This would be perfect! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
I have an armoire I have being staring at for 5 months trying to decide how to paint, this is it!! This is the paint for that piece! I would use the oyster white or the driftwood, I love both!
Don't know why my email didn't show up…jennrobertson@live.com
Wow. That is gorgeous! I'd want to try Salem Red and Slate. 🙂
I love the idea of thinner paint that chips all by itself! Gotta have the slate and either the oyster white of driftwood too! Pick me please!
I want it! I would definitely love to try the light cream or slate. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I am a big fan of milk paint, being a furniture maker it is the go to to give new pieces the great worn look …..it is so non toxic, waxes to a beautiful sheen and is very long wearing. My black shop stool was finished with milk paint..after 6 years it looks amazing, gently worn but very authentic…sat in for hours each day…Love the piece you have shown us. Great product !!..btw I store my unused powder in my fridge….
I would love to have Lexington Green and Snow White. Even if I'm not lucky enough to win, I am sure I will try this. Just wondering what kind of prep you do and does that determine how "chippy" it is?
OOOOOOO Child! I love me some milk paint action, great on weathered barn wood. I'd love to try Salmon and Slate.
Definitely the slate and possibly the sea green…although the whites are pretty too!
I haven't used milk paint in several years and would love to try it again! I can't seem to get the color chart to come up, other than a word list, so I will choose Slate and Snow White. Thanks for the chance!
I love the sea green and the cream. I just ordered some of the Fiddes and Sons wax from their online store. Can't wait till it gets here!
i LOVE the sea green you used! Was not able to view the colors..
Light cream and pitch black are two colors I would love to try. I'm glad for this review because I've been looking for milk paint and didn't know which brand was a good one.
love it, i love the pumpkin and the blue…can't wait to try it…
The finished look with the milk paint is really cool. It is high time I try it out ~ I would choose the sea green (which looks more gray than green on the swatch) and light cream.
:)Heidi
I love them all! But, I have a project right now that these two colors would work perfect on: Sea Green and Snow White. LOVE THEM!!!
I think we would like to give Sea Green a try for a new bedroom furniture look 🙂
Nice giveaway…..Would love to try….I think I would go with Snow White and Sea Green!
I have been wanting to try milk paint since I found your blog. I think the colors Snow White and Slate would best match my home decor. Thanks for the opportunity.
I have never tried it before, sounds like fun! I would do driftwood and chocolate brown.
Snow White and slate would do it for me!! I LOVE the Fiddes Wax–i purchased BOTH colors of wax after a post you did not too long ago on waxes and cannot believe the difference they make once applied…i LOVE it!! Hope to win this paint and give it a try! Thanks for hosting such a great give away…

I would love Salem Red, Sea Green and Oyster White. How fun!

Awesome giveaway! Thanks! I love the Mustard and Marigold Yellow!!
Oh la la! Love this! I would love to try Oyster White and Slate. Thanks for hosting another great giveaway!
I would love to try the Snow White and Slate! Thanks for the chance to win =)
I'm into whites right now. I'd like to try the buttermilk and the cream colors first.
Thanks,
Sarah
Oyster white and sea green are my favorites.
Ooooh, I think my favorites are Light Cream and Bayberry Green. What fun! I love trying new products. I purchased my Fiddes wax from them and have loved it!
I never have heard of milk paint. Love the affect! You turned me onto chalk paint so I'm sure I'd love this too. Snow white and slate are my favorites:)
yikes! Another thing I have to try! This looks amazing! I just assumed that you did those pieces with a very watered down chalk paint. wow, I am smitten with the last piece you did.
I can't see the colors very well on the Millen site (it's a super small image on my screen) but from what I can assume the colors are, I love the slate (half way up on the left side) and the tan looking one that is in the second column, second one up from the bottom.
thanks so much for hosting such a great giveaway. I promise this paint would go to great use at my house!

Bayberry green and marigold. Thanks for sharing.
SEA GREEN and SLATE … orh, the fun I would have!! (makes me smile just thinking about it!)

Sea Green and Slate…. I have the perfect peice of furniture in mind.
Slate and buttermilk! I love the thought of trying milk paint!!
audra@oldmoneycorp.com
I have one question, how dare you?????????? Hahaha. Kidding of course. You can't share all of your secrets all of the time, right?
My pick in the milk paint would be snow white. Your pieces look so beautiful. I really can't wait to try this stuff ! Thanks for the info 🙂
You achieved such a beautiful finish!! My favorite colors of the milk paint are Slate and Sea Green. I have been on a bit of a grey kick lateley.
I like salmon and barn red. We are really going back to colonial times! I think I'll try this on my own. Thanks for hosting the giveaway. Ann
Fabulous giveaway!! I would love the Sea Green or snow white! Always love to try new kinds of paint! fingers crossed!!
Hmmm, haven't considered milk paint very seriously until now. Was only peripherally aware of it and thought that the mixing might be very troublesome. BUT, if I were to give it a try i would definitely select sea green and possibly light cream. Not sure about the shades of white. Thank you for the opportunity 🙂
I would love to try oyster white and slate! Just when I thought chalk paint was the worlds best paint…LOL
WOW! This looks SOooo interesting! I would love to try the sea green and the buttermilk. Thanks.
oh the oyster white and the sea green would be perfect for my master bedroom furniture I am working on!!
I really like the Fiddes wax. I found some around the house. The clear is wonderful and goes on so well with the Annie Sloan wax brush. When I wanted to use a darker wax, I used a shoe brush. I like the fact that it dries to a hard finish. I don't remember Bowling Alley wax or Johnson's Paste Wax being that hard. Ann
Oh Yes, Oh YES!! Milk Paint is what I have been looking for. Thank you! I would love to work with any of the colors, however since you asked us to pick, here are my choices, sea green and slate. These colors will go with all of my colors in my house.
Thanks again for sharing your talents with us!
Love and Blessings, Teresa T.
Sea green! I have three chairs just WAITING for that color!
Oh, I have the perfect piece of furniture for this! Pick me pick me!!
I love how inexpensive this paint is! Way cheaper than chalk paint. I'd love to try Snow White and Sea Green. But if I was going to be daring, I'd pick the Salem Red. I love that color. I'd have to rearrange my color palate a bit, but that'd be a good change too!
Thanks for the chance to win!
p.s. you rock my world with all of your fancy furniture! Thanks for sharing!

Oyster white and sea green are lovely. And every entrepreneur should have a few trade secrets!
I'd love to try the marigold yellow and the slate colors!
Love the ambience set by the chalkboard with the Robert Frost poem, the old books and feathers in silver.
If given the opportunity I would like to paint with slate and soldier blue. I am currently working to make a new piece look vintage so milk paint would be perfect!
It would make all the difference 😉

I love the slate and light cream! I hope to try this paint – your furniture is beautiful!
Really a GREAT LOOK. I would like to try the Oyster White and Sea Green. I've just begun playing with Chalk Paint. What do you think are the biggest differences between the two looks?
Thanks!
Oh oh oh I sooooo want to try some of this stuff!! I would love to try Slate and Snow White!!!

Would love to try the sea green and the barn red looks amazing!
For the project i have in mind I would need the sea green and the snow white, but I really like the tavern green too.
I love the snow white and slate. I'd loooove to try this, the finish is amazing!
Buttermilk and Seagreen would be lovely fun to work with!
I think I'd go with the snow white and slate. I'd seen milk paint before at an old fashioned hardware store but it was liquid. I'd love to give this a try 🙂
I would love to try this!!! in fact, I just picked up a piece off of the side of the road last night that I would like to try this on!! I like the slate!
Gorgeous! We've used milk paint for years but would love some for free! Especially the Buttermilk and Bayberry Green. Have never tried the wax so that would be fun too!
I love all your awesome giveaways! I have been using the chalk paint since you told us about it and now I'm going to have to try the milk paint. I would love to win the Sea Green and Snow White. Thanks for hosting this giveaway! 🙂

I am always so inspired by your blog and thanks so much for all of the great advise you give and letting us know about all of the great products available! I would love salmon and slate!
Call me crazy, but i'd like to try it on my kitchen cabinets!!! leaving the top ones natural and the bottom painted. i'd love to win the sea green and snow white!!! i'm screaming because when i saw your pics a revelation came over me that this is what i wanted to try! they are very rustic lake house looking cabinets from the 1940's and a natural pine with black handles…i think it would look fab!
Love new paints! I would like Slate and Snow White, please.

Can't make out the colors, but would love to try them. Great giveaway. I have already used the wax.
Girl, I can't tell you how much I have learned from your blog since I found you a few months ago! I am an avid reader, but don't have a blog of my own. I LOVE the milk paint–that sea green is gorgeous and I have just the piece for it. Also the barn red looks good. I have to share with you that these days when I get weary working on a project, I just say to myself "MMS is outworking you old girl!!" Thanks!
About ten years ago I bought the barn red for a project. Loved working with it. I would love to try the buttermilk and the sea green. Can't wait to see your post on techniques. Thanks for the chance to win.
Snow White and Soldier Blue would be heavenly!
Love the slate and sea green! What a wonderful giveaway!

I like the sea green and snow white. Lovely!
Green is MY color . . . but which green? Tavern green, maybe, and then a nice neutral such as snow white.
I absolutely love this look! I am an Interior Designer and while I was in school fell in love with the crackle technique! I would love to fall in love with another product. I was just about to try the chalk paint, but this looks neat too! My favorites were Tavern Green, Driftwood, Light Creme, and Pumpkin(I'm a bold color gal!) Thanks for sharing!!
Now following on Twitter!
Hooray! I love a good paint recommendation. I would probably go with Sea Green and Buttermilk as my first two colors, but that Pumpkin shade is pretty tempting too.
Driftwood & Oyster White for me, please!
i just recently started reading your blog, not sure how I happened to find it but you are amazing! Oh how I wish i could come to Lucketts. I like soilder blue and lexington green. I just boust an antique washstand at an auction yesterday that Im very excited to get home and put to use. Definatly not putting any paint on it though:)

Hi Marion – I love Sea Green and Slate. Visiting the site let me know that there's a bonding agent and a clear coat – good to know. I once did cabinets in a country red and I mixed the Milk Paint with Leather Red Aquabond. I could not believe how it covered – I almost got away with one coat! So – I am sold on Milk Paint. Thanks for reminding me about them! Gonna do some furniture with it as soon as I win!!!
Linda
Thank you for the giveaway – you are so generous with us! It is well-appreciated:)
I'll echo a few other commenters with oyster and slate, and add that I would be willing to give some custom creations a try!
I would love to try this paint. I have some pieces ready and waiting. I love the federal blue and the snow white. Thanks you.

Love the look this paint gives the furniture! I am SO happy you shared this secret! I would love to try the Sea Green and Snow White. Thanks for the chance!
I am also a new follower of John Millen Hardware! 🙂 (@tpinkstudio)
In LOVE with the Snow WHite and Sea Green! Can't wait to bust out some milk paint!
Thanks,

Oooooooooo….slate is great, slate is great!
I really like the slate and snow white colours. I've heard of Milk paint before, not sure where but I have heard of it. I look forward to seeing some tutorials.
Heidi
I would love try the salem red and mustard yellow
I would like to play with Federal Blue and Tavern Green. Thank you for the opportunity!
Love hearing your take on milk paint. I would like to learn more about how you decide to use this vs. other types of paint. Perhaps a decision tree chart or a table of some sort. (I can help! I'm a graphic designer).
I would love to win Buttermilk and Light Cream because I'm planning on changing my home to an all white color palette. Going to need lots of paint to do that!
Great post.
Beautiful! I'd love to try the Snow White and Slate. The wax is a great bonus!
I had a little trouble reading the colors, but I do like Snow White, Sea Green and Slate, as well. Linda
I remember reading about milk paint some years back but never tried it and then forgot all about it until this post! I would love to try the soldier blue and snow white have the perfect dresser for it!
I would love to try this paint out! I can't tell the names of the colors, but one of the creams would be great. Also I have an piece in my son's room that would look great the barn red.
leighanne@elmore.rr.com
So glad you tried out the milk paint! I've been told by a lot of the old school crowd to use it, but I wasn't ready to invest in it yet. Love how your pieces turned out! I think I'm ready now to give it a go :).
Tavern Green and Barn red would be my picks! Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow! I'm excited to know about new paints to try. I like the slate and oyster white colors best!
I would love to try the tavern green or the merigold yellow for an old dresser! Love these colors!
i would pick one of the whites and the slate! thanks Marian, hope all is well! susan
I like the sea green and driftwood, the colors are hard to see.
Snow White and Slate fo sho! Thanks for the giveaway and all the inspiration!
I haven't heard of milk paint! I would love to try the sea green!
I love the sea green and the light cream. Have an old dresser in my guest room that I would love to re-do. Joyce
Ok – love this so much I already oredered from their site – plus I'm following them on Twitter. Would love to win Slate and the Sea Green.
Linda!
I just started following and I would love to try this paint! Can't wait for the videos. I have several pieces in mind already. Snow White and Soldier Blue:) Thanks!
Tavern Green and Slate would be my two picks!!!
Love your stuff; thanks for "fessing up"!
Slate and Driftwood would be awesome can't wait to give these a try!
I love the slate and oyster white… Gorgeous! I've never heard of this, even if I don't win it looks very affordable – I might have to order some anyway!
I have been wanting to try milk paint. I have the perfect piece! I love slate, sea green, and light cream!
I love the slate! Oh how much fun I could have with this paint!
This paint looks awesome. I would love to paint all of the doors in my house to make them look old and chippy. I like the slate, oyster white, and mustard. Thanks!
I'd like to try Sea Green and Driftwood. Thanks for letting us know your secrets…you have good ones!
Snow White and Slate are great – I love the really distressed look.
I love the way the milk paint looks in your photo, perfectly chippy and distressed. I often worry about lead paint on found furniture, so this would give the look without the worry. Milk paint has been used for a long time too. I would choose Snow White and Slate. I have a really old sideboard that needs to look more it's age. Thanks for the chance.
Driftwood and Oyster are the colors I love in this Milk paint! Your blog is one of my favorites and I check you out everyday! I managed to completely erase my blog list this morning…..ugh! Yours is one of the few I replaced because I can't go a day without it…LOL!
Ooooh! I want to try Snow White and Slate!
oooo! pretty!
I love the oyster white and the sea green!
I kept thinking that it looked like milk paint.
Great work, wonderful eco product.
I want to try barn red and black!
Thanks,
Gayle
snow white and slate!
How cool is that!!! Okay but now I am totally confused if I should use Milk Paint or Chalk Paint ~
What do you think the difference is and which do you like better or are they totally a different look ?
I would chose Slate and Snow White ~
xoxo
Lori
Snow white and Slate, please.
Thank for the opportunity! This is fun!
I have recently started following you blog- it's great! I'm moving in a month and my new place has a horrible kitchen! One of my friends told me about your kitchen project- loved it! Inspirational!
Thanks again!
I've been dying to try milk paint! I went to the site and would love to try the slate and sea green
Oyster White and Soldier Blue. Just once, I'd love to win one of these giveaways! I love your blog so much. You've taught me a ton about redoing furniture and I love coming here. 🙂
Would love to try the Buttermilk.
Barb
I'd like Snow White and Slate!
Oh oh oh. I would love to try Golden Blue and Light Cream. Hope I am the big winner!
I'd love salem red and yellow. Beautiful colors. I've never used milk paint before. Thanks for the giveaway!
~ Monique G
Absolutely, I just inherited 2 very very old pieces of furniture from a friend at church that I must give that chippy look! Will it work on previously painted pieces? I too think I like the Snow White and Sea Green. Thanks for the chance to win and try out these amazing products.
Thank you for the tutorial…I had no idea it was dry and needed to be mixed or the results it initially produced….I love the final outcome so it is worth the effort.
I love slate and snow white. I love techniques that are a little more involved…I find them fun and give you the ability to be much more creative.
Pitch black and light cream for me…I love contrast! Fingers crossed! Lynette
caylor@daktel.com
I love milk paint, but have never tried this brand. I love the look you have acheived!! I went to the site and chose slate and salem red, but then I changed my mind to pumpkin and mustard… but oh I love federal blue and buttermilk!! They all are wonderful colours – I am having such a hard time deciding!!!! Okay, I must choose… sea green and federal blue. THERE!! I did it!! Thanks for the milk paint tips and the contest!! Miss Tiques
Barn Red and Slate are what I would try, very interesting, I really like the prices! Thanks for sharing.
This is the paint we use for our farmhouse pieces…it's the bomb! Mixes great and gives such a cool look.
I'd love Driftwood and Barn Red….
And thanks for the give-away!

Funny thing, I've been wanting to try this stuff, did a bunch of research on this same brand of milk paint! I'd LOVE to try tavern green and driftwood.

Sea Green and Snow White would be my choices! I went over to their site and love all the gorgeous colors, but I think those two would be the most useful to me. I hope I win!
I follow Millen Hardware via Twitter! 🙂

My wife is so inspired by your work; it's given her the courage to start her own business doing the same style work you're doing. Thanks for your inspiration!
Snow White and Slate, please!
WOW! That first picture took my breath away! I've been painting a piano all day today. I'm hoping I didn't bite off more than I can chew.
The two colors I love are snow white and slate.
Crossing my fingers. I have a beautiful little French bombe I'm stripping, and I think this paint would be perfect to finish it off.
Crossing my fingers!
Nancy
I'm going with the snow white and slate!!!
Please enter me….
Love milk paint. I think my favorites are Black, Snow White and the Sea Green….
Lots of great colors! I think I'd love to try the slate one.
I love to try sea green and buttermilk
Looks like something fun to play with! I think oyster white and slate would get the most use here. 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!
I just found you!!! I was looking for a new finish to try on a dresser I just picked up. I'd love it in either Federal Blue or Bayberry Green. Thanks.
Hi Marian,
Cool paint! I would love to try light cream and sea green. I have had tons of fun fixing up old furniture since I have started following your blog. I am going to try the union jack dresser this weekend. I finally found a great, old, good quality one for only $20! Yippee!
I've always wanted to try Milk Pain!!
Snow White
Sea Green
YEAH
oyster & slate are my 2 favorites. I'd love to mix up a batch of it!
I think my post didn't post?
I've always wanted to try this.
Snow White

Would love to try Snow White and Slate. And please thank him for lowering the price on the wax for us all. Love the look.
Thanks,

I like bayberry green and oyster white!
I have used milk paint in the past, but not this brand. I visited John Millen Hardware and looked at the milk paint colours!! I love them all!! How can I just choose two??? OK… here goes; the two I choose are slate and pumpkin, oh – wait… salem red and mustard. No, I changed my mind… federal blue and sea green!! THERE.. I did it!! Thanks for the milk paint tips!!
Miss Tiques – Karen@Chic-Tiques.com
What a fun give away and something that I would love to try. I love the Sea green and the Mustard.
Wow! This stuff looks great!
You make the Sea Green look so beautiful! I'd like to try that one and pitch black!
I wonder if someone with milk allergies could use products painted with milk paint? Maybe using the wax is enough of a sealant to avoid issues?
Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

Oyster White & Slate- awesome give away, thank you so much!
Love the Sea Green and Snow White. You have the most amazing pieces!
Irma 🙂
would LOVE to try slate and snow white!
I love the sea green & buttermilk. I've been trying to decide what colors to do in my master bedroom. Today I saw that exact color with a raw silk bedskirt and drapery panels. LOVE the combination. So, winning these two colors would get me motivated to get started. I joined the hardware store on Twitter. His website gives a very down home welcome feeling.
must save money! you've lured me to *that other paint*, on which I've dropped a rather large chunk of change–but I'd love to try this milk paint (snow white and sea green, if you please!), just on the cheap! Love, love your blog.
Thank you MMS…I simply love your chippyness with this milk paint!! I would love to try sea green and cream…Thank you!
OOOO, I love the look of that Milk Paint! I agree, Sea Green looks amazing! That would definitely be my favorite. Thanks for the chance to win!
Hello,
I've been wanting to paint my granny's dresser with pumpkin and buttermilk milk paint, but money's been too tight since I lost my job. I would love to transform "granny" into "gorgeous!"
Thanks, Christy Lemon
Gorgeous! I would choose sea green and driftwood.
cereza25 at yahoo dot com
I think slate and oyster white….but the color chart was so small it was hard to see.
Hi Marian!
I've already ordered the slate can't wait to try it on my buffet re-do. Driftwood & buttermilk would be my next two choices.
Have a great weekend,
Jenn
Hmm… they all look fun. My favorites are Oyster white and sea green. I have the perfect table to try these on. Crossing my fingers.
Snow white and barn red!! I would love to win and start making my house a home, thanks for the oppurtunity!!
I would like to try the Sea Green and Light Cream! Thank you!

Slate and Snow White would be perfect for the corner hutch in our guest bedroom!
Salem Red and Tavern Green please.
Slate and Sea Green are now planned for projects in my house!!!!
i like the slate and one of the greens and driftwood
Oooh, I have several pieces I would love to try this paint on. I would try out the light cream and slate I think. Crossing my fingers. : )
I was just setting up to by the waxes myself for a chalk paint adventure! Would love to try the Slate or sea green! LOVE your blog!
Love..Barn Red And Pitch Black!! But I think I'm going to make a purchase now!!
I can`t quite see the color names, but I`d probably want white and one of the blues. Thanks!
I'd love to try the slate and light cream
I followed them on twitter
These look fantastic! I'd love Slate and Snow White for updating old furntiture in our new (and 1st) house!
camillehooper12@gmail.com
I would love to try the Milk Paint!! I really like the tavern green and the sea green. It's hard to decide, because the colors are so pretty! Thanks!!
I actually researched milk paint a couple of years ago, but never ended up getting any. Snow White would be a must, but the second color is more difficult to choose since I have multiple projects this might work for – Barn Red for my basement door, or Lexington Green (if floors can be painted with this stuff??), or Slate for an old dresser that needs refinishing. So many options!
I would love to try the Snow White and Slate. I love the Fiddes and Sons' Waxes I purchased a while back, which I'm almost out of. Thanks for offering this giveaway!
I've used milk paint before but not in the powdered form.
I think I would choose Sea Green and Buttermilk.
I love the sea green and the frift would. It would look great for my new projects i want to start soon = )
Hi,
I would LOVE to try the Sea Green & Tavern Green!

I have been hearing so much about milk paint and would love to try it! The Slate and snow white would be my choices I think though the oyster is so pretty then there is that pitch black which would look great on so many projects…decisions decisions!!
So beautiful! I would love to try the slate and the oyster white.
I think Buttermilk and Slate, but the Sea Green comes pretty close. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I would love to try the snow white and sea green!!!!

You are a bad bunny,(Veggie Tale reference), holding out on us. I have seen milk paint, but have been a little leary about its soupy appearance. I would love to give the sea green and the bayberry green a try. Thanks for such amazing give aways!
I would love to try this paint. I think Barn Red and Buttermilk would be my choice. Thanks for all the info you share!
I rented a storage unit (10×20) to house all the furniture that i plan to paint with the chalk paint. oh boy! might have to really fill it with more! favs are sea green and slate, although all are beautiful!
Oh how I wish I could win and if by some wonderful chanc I did I would pay postsge since I am so far away I love the tavern green and the Federal Blue
Good luck everyone.
I love the Sea Green and Snow White. I have been trying to reproduce the look of your green chippy chest using chalk paint and I haven't been able to get quite the same look. This is another great give away. Thanks for sharing.
You saved me an email! I wanted to know how you got that amazing chippy look! LOL
I NEED Snow White and Slate, please….oh please!
I just purchased sea green milk paint from the online store.

What a wonderful giveaway. Thank you for for the opportunity, I really enjoy your site, love your down to earth nature in writing and on your video's, you are very sweet to share your tips and alot of antique restorers are better for it. I have heard your name by word of mouth from several antique dealers in the DFW Texas area, we are all reading your blog! While I absolutely adored at least 6 colors, I have been using alot of blues and greens and just did a piece in red so…….it would be so much fun to two tone a piece in mustard and honeymilk, it would look wonderful on the right piece. Sherry
Buttermilk and slate for me. You are so inspiring; thanks for sharing this paint!
I've always wondered about milk paint…I love the white and the sea green.
Thanks!
How exciting, something new to try 😉
Thank you for the giveaway,definitely Oyster White and Slate. I'm in the midst of a re-do with colors!
I agree…love the slate and snow white
Oh, geez! Such great colors, how am I supposed to pick?! I love the barn red, the pitch black would be good on a piece I have, the oyster, oh, and soldier blue.
Sea Green, please!
This would be fun to try! The Slate and Snow White would look good on my benches, that I have been meaning to paint for a long time. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Oh- I remember when this was all the rage in the 1960's & 70's. We used to make it quite thick though. It lasts forever and is a really wonderful product used on bare wood. I do remember that you can't strip it off though. Fun to see it being used again.
I find it hard to argue with your choices. Everything turned out wonderful. Sea green & slate would be fun to try.
iconrl@aol.com
Love reading your blog. I have 2 daughters that have just moved into their 1st apartments and am helping them fix up some old furniture. You have helped us so much. Slate and Light Cream are the choices. Thanks!
I would love to try the federal blue and pitch black. I have a farmhouse table that I am going to be making and I think the two would be great. Plus it would be fun to try a new paint. I have never heard of milk paint before. So thanks for the chance to enter. Cross my fingers I win. Since I've been having bad luck these days. Any-who. Have a great weekend. Smile, love and be happy.

I love soldier blue and sea green! Or slate. Or salmon. And the prices are so fabulous, I may just have to buy them all! (Maybe I'll indulge as a treat!)
-Abby Ammons
I have never used Milk Paint, but I want to try it. I love the look of the chest you painted. I think Milk Paint really creates a special patina on wood furniture.
I have been wanting to try milk paint for quite a while now! I would love the sea green and the driftwood.
I like the sea green and slate.
I was so happy you had shared this with me when we met at Luckett's! I used it on a piece I built that I wanted to look much older. It's fantastic and I'd love to try some other colors!!! I'd want Drift wood and Slate! And I'm dying to try the wax too!!!
Great giveaway!!! I loved the white and the slate… Can't wait to try the brown wax 🙂
{I can't post with my google account so my email is cazu1107@gmail.com).
I'd want to try bayberry green and slate. Thanks for the giveaway!
Snow White & Mustard. I even have some furniture to try this out!
Oh!!! Please pick me! I HEART the sea green and soldier blue!!! Beautiful!
Really like the slate and snow white colours. I certainly get lots of great ideas from your blog. Thank you. tlcinpei@hotmail.ca
Hello, So love the Milk Paint tip…thank you! I love the Slate and Pitch Black. I am really into black lately! Love your blog!
I love the slate, spa green, and oyster white. I would love to try the paint and have the perfect piece to try it on!
Meg
oh i just looooove the sea green and snow white. and it would be just a dream to win some supplies for a new project around here!
megg (megg.willowhouse@live.com)
Driftwood and sea green please. This would be a new adventure! kathryng@gulftel.com
Girl….I like you! You are always teaching me something new. I have slipcovers cut out and waiting to sew and I will not only have a great chair I will have a fabulous painted table right next to it in Snow White or Sea Green thanks to you. And to make it even better I might just actually win the paint. So thank you.
This milk paint sounds interesting…..sometimes I only like to do a wash with paint so the thinness would be perfect! Or I could choose to have a more solid color…..sounds great! I would love the Buttermilk and the Driftwood!
OK… I went to the website and got so distracted with the pset tracter – the Captain's filler fix…. I went on my usual rabbit trail. It was fun. But I liked the Salmon Chalk Pain – and I didn't realize that the walk came in colors! There is absolutely no salmon in my house, but I fell for the color… don't know why….
Rebecca kruchomc@comcast.net
Sea Green and Slate, please! I think this technique would work great on a headboard I have been envisioning … but not quite sure how to get the chippy look. This would be PERFECT!
I had looked at a milk paint prior to learning about AS chalk paint. I love the chalk paint and now may explore milk paint. I would like to get the snow white and driftwood to mix 90/10 for a real driftwood effect. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us-my fledgling business is taking off! Your kitchen is beautiful and I am in awe of you taking on such a BIG job!
Well it has been years since I have heard about milk paint…I used it all the time and then couldn't find it any more …….YEAH! I love the sea green! Thanks for sharing this giveaway!
I love the results you got with the sea green and slate! Those would be my choices, too!
I keep meaning to ask if you have a favorite fiddes & sons wax color……I use primarily light colored paints…shades of white and grey and light green & blue…….thank you in advance for your kind advice!
Would totally love to try milk paint – I've been eyeing it for a while! I dig the light cream and slate 🙂
Hi there!
Would love to have the barn red, it would look fab on my son's tall dreser. And the sea green, it's a very lovely color!
Thanks so much for doing this! 🙂
Deaf Chick xo
I would love to try "sea green"! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
Great giveaway! I'd like to try the Bayberry Green and the Sea Green. Great work but I'm glad you finally went for your spa day. You must be the hardest workin' woman on the planet. : )
Love the Mustard and the Sea Green, Please?
Thanks so much
I have always been interested in Milk Paint but have never taken the plunge. The colors that I would choose would be Driftwood and Slate.
jamier76@gmail.com
I love Barn Red and Mustard. I also love this giveaway. Thanks for a chance at winning. 8>)
Just to let you know. I purchased sea green and slate from John Millen Hardware…can't wait for them to arrive….hopefully soon! Thanks again, Rae
Love, love, love the look of that milk paint. The sea green just blows me away
Milk Paint looks DREAMY! I would definitely do the Federal Blue and Light Cream. Would be amazing to do some kitchen cabinets with the cream and some bar stools with the blue. Get Craftlicious loves Miss Mustard Seed!
Oyster white and sea green are my favorites.
Make my milk paint "Barn Red and Federal Blue". I haven't used Milk Paint in so long, I forgot about it! You probably know this….but you can also get a really great chippy finish if you hold a hair dryer on hot or a heat gun to it for a bit, the paint bubbles and crackles. I am inspired to use it again! Have a great weekend. -K
I would love the sea green and any of the whites. I couldn't see their names on the color chart. Thanks so much for sharing all you do.
I would love , love , love to try milk paint. I have been looking at trying some for a while now, but have not gotten around to the order. I will do so now!!! I would alos love to win some Snow White and Seagreen!!!
Hi, I would love to win the milk paint, especially slate and snow white!

What a cool paint! Just became a follower of your blog today although I have been reading it for a while now. I love your work! I would love to try the slate and snow white. I am starting to work on my 2 year old daughter's room and it would be fun for a small vanity dresser. Thanks for hosting!
I like snow white and slate. But, I also love the mustard…decisions, decisions! Thanks for sharing the info!
Love the Federal Blue and Slate. Thanks, Marion! MaryCinVA
(merrymntnmom@yahoo.com)
Buttermilk and sea green would definitely be my choices! I am currently stalking craigslist for a table for my kitchen that this would be perfect for!
Snow white and driftwood for me, please! I love anything slipcovered in white. The little detail you overlooked is that you probably saved a couple thou, doing the upholstery work yourself. Most of us would be scared …less to try that. I know I would be! I thought I was a thrifty shopper, but you've got me beat!
Barbara, The Treasured Home
Beautiful dresser! I like bayberry green and slate! Thanks!
🙂 Rachael
ooh – federal blue & snow white would be great to try!
I think my faves are sea green and light cream. I know just the piece I would use it on. 🙂
Sea Green and Pitch Black would be my choices! I love milk paint – it's the first kind of paint I ever tried on a home decor project. Seeing your magnificent new kitchen really pushes me to try and redo my horrible kitchen cabinets and milk paint would be sooooooo wonderful for that!
Slate and Buttermilk!!
I love reading and learning from your blog. Winning the milk paint and waxes would be awesome. I would choose sea green and light cream or buttermilk. Now for the wax colors I would ask for your advice. I have used a clear wax and would like to try a darker one. You are an inspiration. Thank you!

I love the distressed look of these pieces! The paint sounds wonderful and I have more than 2 favs but if I HAD to choose, I think slate and oyster white would be what I'd experiment with first (though the black would be so cool to try out too… ooh, and driftwood too). I'll be keeping my fingers crossed on this one!
Suzanne
Barn red and sea green…lots of ideas for those colors…thanks!
Ooooh…I just can't believe how awesome these are…I'd love to try the "Driftwood" or "Mustard" – but they are all so beautiful!!! Thank you so much for the chance to win!
I'm following JM Hardware on Twitter!
I would try Sea Green and Light Cream! I follow your blog and really enjoy all your projects. I have tried several of them and I'm always enthused about new ones to try! susanpagels@comcast.net
Slate or sea green for me! I just found your site & I gotta say I am so exited! I LOVE everything you've done & on my kind of budget;-) I cannot wait to try the milk paint on my next project!
Slate and snow white. Thanks for the giveaway!
Marian – I'm sooo glad that you shared this with us. Chalk paint is so expensive (though I still want to try it!), and this would be a fun alternative! I love Snow White and Oyster White! 🙂 Thanks for this great giveaway, too! ♥
xoxo laurie
Slate, Soldier blue, and light cream. Can't pick too. UGH! So pretty!

Would love to try milk paint. You furniture pieces are just beautiful. Thanks Shawna
Snow White and Slate are my favorite!!! This is the coolest paint ever I love that look
Barn Red and sea green are the two colors I'd like to try. Old Fashioned Milk Paint has been on my list, I've got an art show coming up the first of August and … yikes, time's a tickin!
I'm concerned with the quality of their wax. I ordered several tins of the wax to use over my chalk paint and it came all gunky and soupy. I tried mixing it all up and hoped it would set up again, but it's just not right.
Oh dear I am so un original! Since I love what you made i will want to try the colors you used!!! Patsy.paterno (at) gmail.com from
HeARTworks
Definitely buttermilk and sea green. I'm re-painting my kitchen (cabinets and all) and these colors would be perfect!
Soldier blue and slate? Thanks!
jspades@suddenlink.net
LOVE my dresser and it is even more beautiful in person 😉 Can't wait to try this paint next!!

I absolutely love the way this paint looks…the chippy finish is just what I've been looking for!!! I love the snow white and the sea green colors. The white would look amazing on a hundred year old piece I'm working on for an island in our kitchen. Thanks for sharing the info on the paint!!!
Fun stuff!! I think I'd like Sea Green and Bayberry Green, but one of the whites might change my mind. My friend told me about milk paint years ago, but I never did get to try it yet. I love the waxes however!!! Thanks for another great give-away!! 🙂
I've always been curious about milk paint and wanted to give it a try this summer. All their colors are yummy, but Driftwood and Buttermilk are calling my name! I'm bookmarking John Millen Hdwe as a great resource for lots of unique (to me) ideas…so thanks!
OHH what fun I could have with snow white and marigold yellow,,, LOVE them!!
I love love this! I was wondering how you got your finish so distressed! I love the slate also and the salmon too! Amazing stuff!
I LOVE milk paintand I LOVE MMS! It's such a well kept secret! I would want BARN RED and BUTTERMILK!
Hi there,
I'd love to try Snow White and Slate. Thanks for the opportunity and all the tips!!!!
Jennifer
I love your blog! So many great ideas! If only I were a bit more creative, perhaps I could actually do some of them. If I were to win, I'd love the sea green and slate. Thanks much! vlwright1@aol.com
i choose buttermilk and light cream.
I like soldier blue. Not sure that it would work in the house–but that's always how it works. I love things that don't work with what I have going on.
Love that your sharing this…..I love oyster white and buttermilk! Dont tell anyone your favorite color otherwise it'll set out and we will have to wait for them to produce more! lol

Barn red is my first choice…I have an old window I salvaged garbage-picking that I want to turn into a screen/sun catcher on my front porch. That red is just what I'm looking for and the milk paint would keep with than vintage antique look of the window.
Thanks for the chance & I'm following them on Twitter too @auntiethesis

love the sea green and slate.. Thanks!!
I'm thinkin' slate and light cream would be fun to do a project with. Can't wait to try the milk paint.
I am a milk paint virgin. I admit. I need to take a deep breath and just go for it. I looove slate and oyster white.
I would love Mustard, or Oyster White, or Snow White, or Sea Green, or Tavern Green…Oh goodness, what lovely colors!
Thanks for this fun opportunity!
I love the snow white, slate or solider blue.
Wow! The paint looks fun. Love the sea green and snow white.
Thank you for hosting this neat give-away! I've always wanted to try milk paint, ever since I read about it in Country Living years ago. I understand that because the product has milk in it, that it can actually go sour — do you store it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh? Love the idea of it being in powder form so you can mix just a small amount at a time.
My favorite colors are the Federal Blue and Sea Green. Love the Slate and their great selection of whites, too, especially the Oyster White.
Good luck to all who enter!
Best,
Kimberly
I love this finish & the fact that it randomly peels itself.
I like sea green and snow white.
~Diane
I've always heard of milk paint but never knew it could be this amazing! I have the perfect little vanity that I'd love to try this on! I'd love to try snow white & slate. Thanks for sharing all these great products & techniques!!!!
Driftwood & Black please, please, please!!!
I knew you were using a new paint that finish is just beautiful. I like the Slate and sea green. Have a great day.
I'm diggin Slate and Light Cream…great colors. Thanks for hosting!
jeanaball10@comcast.net
I love the slate! I was in NY at my mother in-laws house and darn near every piece of her furniture, I thought…. "MMS would LOVE to her paint brush on this!" or "Nice legs"… I've been reading your blog too much. 🙂
Wow, I can't wait to try this milk paint. I just ordered my chalk paint yesterday and now I have to try this too. I like the slate and the pitch black. Hope I win!!! Thanks Phyllis
Yes I would love to give it a try…sounds and looks great!!
1 Pint, Marigold Yellow ($11.00)
1 pint, Mustard ($11.00)
Is the two I would choose!
Hugs
SueAnn
Love love Oyster White and Driftwood! I have always wondered about milk paint – good to know about the peeling part, I probably would think I did something wrong! 🙂
What a wonderful interesting post and it is perfectly all right to work with a product and get it to perfection prior to sharing with us.
I have just the dresser that could use Snow White and Buttermilk
My best
Helen tilston
I've used 'pre-mixed' milk paint before. I'd love to try slate and snow white. I have a small piece I'd like to try it on. Love your work!

What a wonderful give-away! I love all your projects and the finishes – woo! I have some furniture in desperate need of painting and would love to win! The slate and light cream colors are perfect for what I need to do!
A shade of white and slate gray. My husband can't get his car into the garage (due to a furniture stash), so I need to win this!
Lovin the slate. I feel a "win" coming on!!!
I love slate and snow white. Thank you!
Oh, sea green for sure (be still my heart!) and buttermilk. I love the barn red, too, but I really don't have any furniture to paint in that color. Thanks!
Another giveaway?!! Awesome! I would love to try the slate and oyster white. Thanks for the tip on milk paint! I know it was popular about 20 years ago, but didn't realize it peeled in spots by itself. Perfect! ejabrams at gmail dot com (For some reason, it still won't let me sign in with my gmail account.)
Soldier Blue and Pumpkin……they both call my name.
I love the warm and worn look of Sea Green and Slate with the wood peeking through. And the chippy quality is an added bonus.
I've been wanting to try milk paint for some time now. I would start with oyster white and sea green. Thanks for sharing all these great goodies!
Suzanne
I would definitely be needing the sea green and the barn red. I have an old high chairs that I need the red for ASAP. Would love to win! Jackie

I would love to try the sea green and oyster white! Beautiful!
I would love to try the milk paint. I think the Sea green and buttermilk would be my choices. The pieces you chose were perfect for that application. Marsha from Texas
I'd love to try Slate and Barn Red. I've been wanting to do Milk Paint since Barb's tutorial on D*s, but haven't taking the plunge and wasn't sure of a good supplier. No excuses now 🙂
Hey MMS I am hoping to redecorate my home. Just after having my baby I found your blog and its changing my life.Like you I feel I need to do something to contribute to my new family. I would love the sea green and slate, they would go perfectly with my soon to be grey walls.
Thank you for being such a generous person and sharing your tips and tricks with us! Greetings from Wales UK xxx
I love the two colors you used, the Sea Green and the Slate. I also love the color on the desk that you said is for sale. Funny, of all the pieces you have shown lately these two were my favorites! I love the way they look, really old….not painted & distressed. Thanks for hosting the giveaway and thanks to John Millen Hardware for donating the paint & wax. I've bought & used their clear wax and really liked it. Take care, VBg
I love the slate and the snow white! Just finished my first project with chalk paint thanks to you and love it!
What an awesome giveaway! I am loving Sea Green and Buttermilk! Thanks for the opportunity! You are such an amazing source of knowledge and inspiration. Thank you!!!

sorry forgot to put email: robertlcooper28@windstream.net for the comment from DebbieKsews
Buttermilk! Have seen this around but never given it a try!
I just purchased some more wax from John Millen Hardware…needed some more anyhow after doing my kitchen cabinets with it! 🙂 3 extra entries just motivated me to get it ordered NOW! 🙂 Have a sweet weekend!!
Sandy says
I love them all, you choose, I just want to make something beautiful
For the past week I've been meaning to order the chalk paint you have been praising but today I got the itch to paint. I remembered milk paint was also a great paint for the vintage look. I ran home to google it to see if I could find it anywhere here in town and what a surprise to see your blog pop up with a hit on milk paint. I was so busy yesterday I didn't get a chance to read your post. I believe it's a sign that I must have my very own milk paint to try. Besides, I have a have a sad little cabinet in the carport just dying to be painted barn red!
I love the snow white…I've been missing a solid white since I fell in love with chalk paint. I'm SO excited to try it! Just ordered 4 pints! (i don't know if I should enter 3 more times??) Thanks for the great giveaway!!
🙂
shaunna
Love love love snow white and sea green! Thanks for letting us know how you do it. I have been working so hard trying to get my latex paint to look like your pieces. A little irritated for you holding out for so long! But I will forgive ya!! 🙂
Miss Mustard Seed, first I just have to say that you are such an inspiration!! Thank you for sharing so many awesome tips and hosting such incredible giveaways! I'm really digging the Soldier Blue and Oyster White. I have a dresser that's begging for some Milk Paint!
Would love to try light cream and slate… or, maybe mustard, or buttermilk or… Decisions, decisions.
Okay. So, I have order the Fiddles and Sons from Miller because YOU recommended it through an email conversation a little over a month ago. I love love love that wax. Seriously, my favorite. I have never used the milk paint, but would love to try it. After looking at their paint colors, I would like Barn Red and Pitch Black!! Fingers crossed. I don't have a Twitter, so I will just leave it at one chance to win!:)
I love slate and snow white
I love, love, love Driftwood and Slate!
I would love to try to the Mustard and Snow White! Thank you for hosting such a fun giveaway!
Teri
I would love to try the Sea Green and the Soldier Blue. What beautiful results you have achieved with this paint. Of course, I'm pretty sure you could work miracles with tar, mud, water and anything else you decided to use 🙂 Love! Edna
I would go with Sea Green and Pitch Black. I used to use milk paint YEARS ago. I loved working with it, but only did small pieces at that time. I had totally forgotten about it until you mentioned it.
Sea Green and Light Cream… I think. Oh heck, I'd probably find a use for any of them. 🙂
How divine. I would love to have any of the colors. However if I have to pick 3 they would be Sea Green, Federal Blue, Soldier Blue.
Omagosh…love that sea green. Pretty!
Your tag line sure fits you and love the biblical aspect (:
I'm intrigued with this paint.. my sons room Really needs some help and this could be the ticket.. thinking the oyster & slate would be perfect…
and always love greens
blessings to you, barbara
Slate and Buttermilk are great colors, I would love to have them. This dresser I have is begging to be painted, but I've yet to find the colors it wants. I thought it would be an ASCP color, but these milk paints are beautiful.
I'm thinking Snow White and Slate.
Love love love milk paint! I would love to try the powder out. Lets see…light cream and slate. Thanks for posting such great giveaways. I always look forward to them. Hope I win!
Heidi
I'd love to try Light cream please! I have been reading about milk paint a lot lately. Would love to get my hands on some 🙂
I would LOVE to try the Milk Paint! The colors I would purchase are "Sea Green" & "Snow White". I liked many of the colors, but these fit in best with my decor.
This paint looks like it would be right up my alley. Thanks for giving us a chance to win such a wonderful prize. God Bless!
Sea green and Snow white! YUM. I am obsessed with those colors!
Pick me! I would love to try some chalk paint!!

I would soooo love the sea green and snow white.

Thanks Lisa
peacegdn @ bellsouth . net
Hi Marian! Hope you're feeling really relaxed and back to your old self now. Your kitchen looks gorgeous!! I am trying to convince myself to paint my kitchen cabinets. I know it would look good, but I can't help thinking I'm committing wood blasphemy by painting perfectly nice custom (but simple) maple cabinets! And the worst part is that the previous owners that installed them, live on the land up behind our house! Imagine their heartbreak if they saw them painted?!! Trying to muster up the courage at the moment…. 🙂
Anywho….I would L.O.V.E. some Old Fashioned Milk Paint in Sea Green and Buttermilk so I could paint the gorgeous dresser I bought for my daughter's bedroom! Thanks SO much for the chance to win some! And thank you John Millen Hardware for sponsoring this giveaway!!
I would love to try the Slate and Oyster White chalk paints. Thanks!
I so enjoy your blog. You constantly inspire me. I love them all but if forced to narrow it down to 2, I'd go with Light Cream and Federal Blue
Great giveaway!! I have a thing for blues lately, so I'd choose Federal Blue & Oyster White. Looked up the Old Fashioned Milk Paint site & noticed it was developed to match the colors at Old Sturbridge Village.
I'm in Massachusetts – and I think that is so cool!! You continue to teach, inspire & give us loads of fun – keep up the good work, lady – and thanks so much!!
Ah, ha! When I spied that piece I didn't think it was chalk paint! Hmmm. What other secrets are you keeping from your loyal readers?
I would love to try this on a piece just sitting on the sunporch and my fav colors would be snow white and sea green.
Thanks as always, for all the love and great giveaways!
This is wicked exciting. I've been thinking about trying this stuff. I'd be interested in the slate and the sea green. Thanks
Lori
Your such an inspiration to read everyday! Keep up the great work. Another great product to use….. IF only they sold annie sloan chalk paint in AUSTRALIA!! I so want to use it! Hopefully i can win some milk paint to give a go! I love the snow white and sea green!!
Love the look of milk paint! I've been wanting to try it for awhile now and I always wondered why you didn't use it. I love the Barn Red and Bayberry Green. I'd love to win and get a chance to try it out!
I like Federal Blue and Barn Red , Hope I win !
Sea Green and Oyster White would be my picks! Great giveaway! I hope I win! PS I love your blog and learn so much from it! Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow, love the way it leaves pieces so chippy. Just started using ASCP a couple of months ago and would love to try this too. Slate and Snow White for sure! Thanks for all the great, useful info!
Is there a list of milk paint suppliers anywhere on the web? I am in the DFW area and I am dying to try it!
I have always loved the look of milk paint, but never knew about this product. I love the white and the mustard. Your pieces of completed furniture are amazing. You have TOO many talents…
The sea green and slate look very cool!!!! I would love to try some out on my furniture that I am painting!!!!!!! Sara
I've never heard of milk paint but that furniture is gorgeous! You're so good! I really like the slate and sea green colors. Beautiful!
I love the sea green! Please pick me!!!
Gail
This paint looks way cool..I like the Salem Red and the Snow white..would love to try on a pair of stools I have pulled up to my counter. They are originally Pier One I think, and I'd need to "age" them!! Thanks for all the inspiration on your blog!
I would love to experiment with the oyster white and soldier blue.
I would really like to try the barn red and buttermilk!
Hi! I would love to try Snow White and Slate. Thanks for this great giveaway.
Your projects are so inspiring!! I love the Slate color of the milk paint, it looks beautiful on that dresser.
Ooooh I love the slate and the soldier blue is rather lovely! I could totally use this wonderful paint to refinish my kitchen table. I've been dying to use it for months! 🙂
I would love to try the sea green and slate!
Love love love the sea green & snow white! So cool, I'm already planning on turning my grandma's old hutch into a little masterpiece with this! Thanks for sharing!
the slate looks wonderful and I know I would use the white.
Sea Green and Slate are my favorites. Thanks for hosting a great giveaway!
Love the furniture you have used this on…would love to try it myself. Snow White and Slate sound like the perfect colors for me.
Thanks, Diana B.
Wow! So now I understand how easy it is to get the "chippy" look even with a fresh coat of paint. Thanks for all the great info day after day! I love Slate and Sea Green.
~Sadie
For the desk in our soon-to-be home office? Slate! It would be beautiful and I'd really love the chance to see what I can pull off with some milk paint!
I can't wait to try this paint out! Thanks for the information on it and the generous giveaway! I would love to try federal blue and barn red.
I'm hooked on your blog! Frequently checking in late at night, I am then inspired to paint, but alas must head to bed and hope for some thirfting, painting, junk designing tomorrow. I would be so pleased to win the giveaway, light cream and soldier blue would be my pick. Thanks for the giveaway and inspiration!
Jen
I would pick sea green and barn red!
Just followed on twitter @beachcovejewel
Oh My!!!! I already Love ASCP, but now I'm finding that I have a new crush on this milk paint!!!! I love the slate and oyster white! Thank you so much for hosting this give-away! and how nice of John Millen's Hardware to give away all those goodies! 🙂
After lots of thinking I decided: Light Cream and Tavern Green are great colors! Thanks for the chance to wind some paint! Have a great Sunday!
Guess I might as well try! Chalk and milk paint are on my list of, "Should give it a whirl some time." *smiles*
I agree… Sea Green and Snow white are DEFINITELY the way to go!
I love, love, LOVE the end result of your kitchen… You should be proud of yourself. It's fantastic, and we are all jealous 🙂
Thank you for inspiring me!
I would love to try the Sea Green and the Slate colors! The Sea Green looks amazing on the piece you posted!!
I've seen milk paint at a few shops but have not tried it yet. Would love to test the snow white and the slate on a yard sale piece we just found that needs to be extra distressed!
I love the sea green and slate!
These colours are gorgeous and Id love to have the chance to win!
Thank you so much for aharing…this paint sounds and looks fabulous!
Deborah xo

Oo, I would have to say Slate and Soldier Blue but those creamy whites are gorgeous, too. Such a cool product! Thanks for hosting!
I liked the Slate and Snow white. Thanks for hosting yet another fun giveaway. Good luck to all.
i would LOVE to check out the sea green and snow white……….always looking for a new product to love!!!!!!!!!
i would love to try sea green and soldier blue- i especially love the sea green color! it is soft, serene, and pretty!
What a wonderful giveaway! I would love to give milk paint a try. I love the Sea Green and Snow White.
Love your blog 🙂
Carol
Hmmm, I have a lot of softer colors in my home right now, so I think the Barn Red would add a punch of color that's needed. I have a few mahogany pieces, such as my gaming table, that are in good coniditon but read as boring. Perhaps some milk paint would jazz them up?
Thanks for sharing so many wonderful ideas. We just brought baby #4 home this week, but in no time at all, we'll be back into project mode and can try out some of your fab ideas!
**keasterling at usa dot net
Milk paint has always been a favorite of mine but I've never seen the results you get. I've not used it myself just seen it on other furniture at flea markets. This leads me to one conclusion, your finishing technique is one in a million. You just have that special touch!
I love the colors you use, especially the Sea Green but I would also love to try the Mustard and possibly the Buttermilk.
When I first went John Millen Hardware's site, the color palette was small and unreadable. Today, they have a new clickable palette so you can actually read the color charts. Thanks John Millen hardware! Barn Red and Slate please… Amy.
I bet a mix between driftwood and light cream would be beautiful. I also like soldier blue.
Wow, lot of people like this milk paint! I'm currently attempting to make over a sewing table for my craft room and would like to try this product in snow white and slate!
I've used this milk paint some years ago, but would love to try the buttermilk and sea green after reading your how-to's. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Thanks for the link to John Millen Hardware and for the chance to win the giveaway! If I won, I'd just have to have the Snow White Milk paint! I've got tons of painting to do!
Your work is always inspiring!!! I would choose snow white and slate
Love the sea green and soldier blue. kmedders@gmail.com
I love the tavern green and sea green! Thanks for sharing!
What a great giveaway! Glad I haven't missed it:)
As for color, I think slate or snow white. I have an antique maple buffet that is dying for a makeover and I am just plain chicken…wanna come up to canada?
Wow, what cool paint! I would pick Barn Red and Buttermilk. Thanks for the give away-very fun.
Michelle michelleandtodd@cox.net
Wow! I love your blog already, but I am so thankful you are hard at work testing new products for us and giving us the scoop behind them! Not to mention another fab giveaway! I'd love to try the Driftwood and one of the greens (can't decide which, yet). I have done several pieces in ASCP and I love it! I like her wax, too, but I'd be very interested to try the Fiddes. Check it out at my very brand new blog! I have a great buffet to share in your next FF linky bash! Please oh please name me a winner! Thanks!
Tough choice! I'd go with slate and barn red. Thank you for these great giveaways
I love the way that looks in your pictures! I would choose marigold yellow (love it!) and federal blue. I am just starting out on furniture rehab, but having so much fun and these would be great additions to my "toolbox" 🙂 I picked up a cute little cain back chair from the habitat restore that is just screaming for that yellow. btw, i love your blog, and you have been a big inspiration. Thanks!
Beautiful Blog, thank you for the inspiration! I have not heard of Milk Paint, so I am of course very intrigued! Our home is West Coast Beach cottage meets Midwest Farmstead. I love anything with a history; antique, vintage, repurposed or reclaimed. My 12 yr old daughter prefers thrift stores and junking to malls and video games. Weekends are spent on the hunt for a vintage hat to add to her collection or a curbside treasure for me. We "live in the projects", and wish to add milk paint to our fun. I have a new sofa and need to distress my side tables to make the look more cohesive. Oyster white and sea green would be perfect! Keep the ideas coming Miss Mustard Seed! Your Latest Follower, The Barefoot Seamstress
I really like the Bayberry Green and Buttermilk colors.
I am going with Sea Greeb and slate myself! And I am out of wax so I'm going over there to order me some!
I iwould love to try Sea Green and Pitch Black. I have many, MANY pieces of furniture that I am currently revamping and this milk paint looks as though it would give me just the appearance I'm looking for in these old pieces. I would love to win this give-away! Thank you for the opportunity! You're always so inspirational! ~Leena~
I love the piece you painted with the milk paint. I have a couple of pieces on which I would like to try this paint. Loved the colors your used, especially the reddish brown. I love reading your website – it has become my new obsession!
I love salem red and driftwood.
Stacie
My SIL is painting some new bookshelves with milk paint at my recommendation. I can't wait to see how they look. I would love to have some to add to my arsenal but the colors are so hard to choose from. I think my favorites are Lexington Green, slate and snow white. Thanks for the chance to win some.
I would choose bayberry green and driftwood, I think. Looks like interesting paint…
Always learning so much from your blog! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway. I would pick Snow White and Slate. 🙂
I love what you did with the milk paint. I've been wanting to try it for some time now. I would have to think long and hard before deciding on a color….black and white never fail!
I just found a sofa table at a yard sale. I would love to try milk paint on this and other pieces in my house that need some life
breathed into them. Thanks for the chance! Love
you blog and look forward to reading it everyday. Miss you if you don't post!

I would LOVE to try this paint! I can't get the picture of all the colors to come up large enough to see the names, but I would probably choose a white or light blue paint to try.
I love these green and slate! I would love to try it!
I'd like to try the soldier blue & light cream.
Awesome giveaway! I've been wanting to work with milk paints but wasn't sure where to start. So please do a tutorial! I would love to try the slate and oyster white. Thanks!

Would love to try Slate or Snow White!
Really great stuff! I've never tried it, but it looks really awesome. I would sure like to try the Slate or Barn Red on the exterior of my kitchen cabinets with Snow White on the insides, or do I want the reverse? If I win, please tell the folks at Millen Hardware I will be happy with either combo! Thanks!

I'd love to try this on a sofa table and bookcase. Sooooooo, oyster white and pitch black.
wow! thanks so much for posting your tips! i am excited to try either slate or sea green..love them! im anxiously awaiting your video tutorials!
Snow White, Pumpkin and Barn Red are the ones I would be dying to try! Oh, pick me, pick me! Pretty pretty please!???
I happen to love the same two colors (slate and sea green). I would love to see what these two come out to look like when mixed? Perhaps the perfect color for my antique dresser that needs a good painting?! 😉
Love the look that paint gave on the dresser! I would love to try many of them BUT if I had to choose two, at this moment, I'd choose Barn Red and Soldier Blue.
Great giveaway!

I followed them on Twitter, I would love to try this color and agree with your choices of colors. Slate and Snow White are my favorites 🙂
I would love to try the marigold yellow and the barn red. I love all of your soft color choices and say "why don't I try that" yet I always find myself drawn to bolder colors! Still…if you want to send me any colors including the ones you love I would gladly take them too!!!:)
Everything you do is Awesome! Your kitchen looks amazing!! I Love all the different paint choices out there and all that you share with us.
I love Driftwood and Buttermilk!
I absolutely love the sea green color, so neat, truly beautiful! God has definitely given you a gift and I am so glad that you blog about it!
Buttermilk and Lt. Cream…I'm going through a white phase.

Soldier blue and slate! Looks like fun!
I would love to try slate and snow white! Wow, love the finish you are getting with this paint! It is incredible!
I think Salem Red and Federal Blue are my favorite colors. I've a table I'd like to paint Federal Blue.
Sorry if this is a second post. The first one didn't seem to take.
I'd like the Federal Blue and Salem Red. I have a table I'd like to paint with the Federal Blue. I'll find something just right for the Salem Red.
Thanks!

I love soldier blue and oyster white. Thanks for the giveaway. Lori ltkingstable47@gmail.com
I just signed a lease for a booth at a local antique mall and cannot wait to set up my booth! I will be starting a blog within the next week or so to chronicle my antique mall adventure! I'm in process of selecting a blog name (any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!).
I am new (VERY new) at furniture refinishing and would love the opportunity to try the milk products on the furniture pieces I've purchased for my booth. I would love to try light cream and slate.
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity to learn more about this product and for one lucky person to try this great milk paint product!

I'd love to try the milk paint! I used chalk paint and really loved it. The sea green would look great on a dresser I've been wanting to paint.
Thank you, Andrea
I would love Slate and White… I would love to give this a try… I read your blog and follow and hopefully someday I will be brave and jump into this amazing "art". Thanks so much for inspiring me and giving me something beautiful to look at as well as dream of trying. Thanks
This paint sounds very interesting and would give me an interesting finish to my dining chairs. I would love to try either the Buttermilk or Slate. My set from the 70s or 80s is a bit too dark and heavy for my tastes.
Thanks for the review!
Would love to try this and I think Snow White would do the trick! Hope I get the chance! Love your blog – God has surely blessed you with an incredible talent!
I've started painting everything in my home that I possibly can, b/c of you! You are so inspirational. Our home has become a place of comfort, fun and happiness. Thank You. I would love to try this milk paint, my faves are Snow White, and Salem Red, so I could make some pink furniture for my little girlie girls. Thanks! Missy

I would love to try the milk paint… I(think) I would pick Sea Green and Tavern Green! Thanks!
I think I would love Snow white and buttermilk. I have always wanted to try milk paint
I ABSOLUTELY want to try these! I just happen to have an amoire, a pair of chairs and an old buffet I'd use them on! I have been sooo inspired by your blog it has caused me to want to "chippy" everything. Ohhhh, I hope I win!
Opps…forgot to say, I'd love ANY of the colors, but would really love to try the sea green, and white.
Want to try snow white and sea green!
I am in love with the sea green! SO Pretty! I so want this giveaway!!!
Dying to see how different this paint is from chalk paint. Your blog is inspiring as always and it has me going to antique shops and consignment stores trying to find something to paint! As Lorene said, I can't tell you how much I've learned from your blog as well. I'm not afraid of wax anymore! 🙂 I really like the slate and the snow white milk paint colors.
Glad you're running this on Pacific Time! Up working on marketing, and time got away from me.
It looks like the John Millen site is down. I checked out the colors on eBay, however, and I like your sea foam green much better! So, I'm going to go with the sea foam green and snow white. As to the "what for;" well, my next project is going to be my kitchen. Let's shabby this bad boy up, Martha!
Love the milk paint! You inspire me and I am so excited to paint a bunch of yards sale finds. I love all the colors and want to work outside my box. I think the first I'd try are sea green and driftwood. :)thanks!
I would love to try the Salmon and buttermilk. I don't know if the giveaway is still going on, but I thought I would try.
denerelly@yahoo.com
Definitely Sea Green, Tavern Green, Buttermilk, Pitch Black, Driftwood… Oh whoops only 2? Cant wait to try this brand of Milk Paint! Have seen but not used the wax. Getting ready to do the island in our downsized renovation house! Thanks Thanks Thanks!
I would love to try this paint! I love the Soldier Blue and Slate… I have tried the chalk paint and love it, so I definately want to try the milk paint!
I like mustard & oyster white!
celeste@mail4me.com
I'd love mustard and oyster white. I've had a great time reading your blog. I love the pieces you've, so much inspiration! Brooked@shaw.ca
Ha! Running out of things to paint here and just talked a friend into letting me paint her 60's credenza/media cabinet. Would love to try it!
Hi MMS!
I am intrigued by this milk paint and would love to try Sea Green and Buttermilk.
BTW… I made it out to Luckett's on Friday and could have spent 2 days in that store! I recognized a few of your pieces and they looked amazing. Really cool and can't wait to go back for a closer look. I took some photos and need to post on my blog about it.
Katie @ http://www.cayenne-paper.blogspot.com
I've been wondering about that piece you did in the Sea Green color, it's amazing!! I also love the Oyster White. I am in the beginning stages of starting my own business, and I want to be just like you when I grow up 🙂 Milk Paint would be a step in the right direction!!!
Not sure if this is still going as your dates were a little mixed up – this Mon the 27th not the 28th…. I'd love Slate and white!
Salmon..mostly because it would go perfectly on the cupboard in my 'being remodeled' front hall
lizzyp_159@yahoo.com
Just found your fabu blog – love everything!
I have some new treasures that I would love to try milk paint on.
I have a now entertainment center armoir soon to be dish storage armoir that the Light Cream would look gorgeous on.
snow white and slate please 🙂 (the barn red looks really pretty too.)
My fiance and I just moved into an adorable cottage in Texas and are furnishing it in true "miss mustard seed style"! We made a trip to my parents house and came home with loads of old furniture that needs a little paint and TLC. I love the techniques you use, and the milk paint secret is something I totally want to try! I love the snow white and slate, they would look gorgeous on any of the pieces I have!
I'd love to give it a try. I'd say slate and snow white. Those chip colors are hard to see!
So inspired by everything you do! You're blog has been an amazing source of encouragement as I start my own similar business in Switzerland! I'll be home in Connecticut for four weeks over the summer & I'm seriously thinking of taking a road trip to Old Lucketts just to thank you in person!
fondly,
Jess

I'll go with you and choose the Sea Green and Slate. They are absolutely beautiful…as is your entire blog!
kandrajane@bellsouth.net
How did you prep the furniture – or were you able to just paint directly on the furniture?
Wow ! what an interesting blog.Thanks for sharing this information.Your information is really informative for us.
Nice blog on Bayberry wax
.
Keep sharing more & more…..
Good blog on Bayberry wax
. Wonderful job…
Thanks for sharing…
Beautiful! I'm torn between the buttermilk and the sea green. 😉 fingers crossed.
I follow and I follow, but I never win. As the story goes you can't win if you don't comment. So I would love, love, love to try the Sea Green Milk Paint. I also can't wait to try the wax ( I watched your video). I've always wanted to try waxing a piece that I have painted. Back to the Milk Paint Sea Green or Mustard Yellow or Barn Red would all be nice
pumpkin……i can see it now on a old hutch i have in garage…decorated in old mottled ironstone and yelloware I know you like the french blues the best and the pieces of furniture you pick to put that color on is perfect.I wish i had half your talent!
maybe slate & pitch black. love how chippy the milk paint can get!
I love love your blog and I would love to try milk paint. I would like to try slate and buttermilk. thanks, kradams54@hotmail.com
Oh what great colors! Hard to choose, but I think I'm going to trust you and go with the Sea Green and the Slate. Both lovely colors.
I love the sea green.
I would love to try the barn red and mustard. I have some redo's that need some character and I think these colors along with the wax could certainly do that. Love your blog. Read it everyday.
Just discovered your blog. Love it! I am excited to try this new paint. I have been painting furniture for years but have only used latex paints. So would love to try the buttermilk and slate. Thanks!
I have not tried milk paint yet but would love to. I had my own painting business for 8 years doing color consulting, faux finishing and regular painting. Because of the economy I have taking a full-time job and mostly just do color consults now. I have thought about redoing old furniture to feed my creative side and even have a few pieces in my garage and shed. I would love to try both the slate and sea green on them!
