say hello to “grain sack”

Before and Afters, Furniture Makeovers, Hand Painted Furniture, Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint

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

Here’s the piece before…

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

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

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

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

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

It’s hard to remember how we functioned before smartphones; before we had a map, a full phone directory, Google Translate, and all the information available by tapping a question into an internet browser in our pocket. Well, this story happened before that time. I was supposed to meet my friend

The launch of my new book, Move Slow & Make Things, is just over two weeks away! I received my author’s copies last week. Six heavy mystery boxes arrived on the small stoop by our kitchen door, leaving me stumped until I saw they were from my publisher. I had
