say hello to “grain sack”

August 30, 2012

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!

I’ve been telling stories here on this blog since 2009, but they’ve mostly been stories about furniture, about my business, my work, and my creative endeavors. About refinishing floors as a novice, about my first magazine feature, about the exciting firsts for my business that unfolded as I shared online.
