filming, look books & a gift
Today Kriste, Jeff and I worked on making some more milk paint how-to videos. One of them involved a plume of Tricycle milk paint and some giggles, but that’s the kind of stuff that’s entertaining and shows that mixing milk paint shouldn’t be taken too seriously. It’s supposed to be fun! Now that we have the […]
furniture feature friday | favorites & link party
I didn’t pick favorites tonight and I have a good reason. It was my youngest son’s 6th birthday. We were eating pizza, Batman cake and ice cream and I was the piece finder for his new Lego set. I then cuddled with him. He started crying as he was brushing his teeth and I asked him what […]
repurposed petticoat, mini whisks & an apron
I moved around the furniture in my living room on Monday when the piano was moved out. Of course, moving the furniture in one room usually impacts another room as I borrow and steal from other rooms. Fortunately, all of my furniture is on felt sliders, so I just scoot things around until I like them […]
empire buffet & something for me
I have been methodically collecting furniture to makeover for the next MMSMP look book and for the Chapel Market in October. It seems like a long way away, but I’ve learned that I shop smarter when I have plenty of time. So, I’ve been trolling Craig’s List for pieces and scored a third empire piece… […]
house selling & hunting update

Mixing Milk Paint Video Tutorial
I made several videos on using milk paint when I first launched the line, but they could use some updating. First of all, it was just me in my basement with a camera on a tripod. While I think there’s something approachable and real about those, you can’t always clearly see what I’m doing and […]
MMS Yard Sale!
Yep! I’m having a yard sale. For the past few years, I’ve focused on antique sales and the idea if having a yard sale on top of that was too much, so I’ve just been taking stuff to thrift stores and giving things away. It’s just easier. A couple of weeks ago, one of my […]
furniture feature friday | favorites & link party
Good evening, all! I thought yesterday was Thursday and it was freaking me out. I had my week planned out and I suddenly found myself way behind and totally in the weeds. I didn’t know how I was going to get it all done. Jeff finally informed me that it was only Wednesday. Whew! All was […]
