I’m finally getting around to introducing another Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint color…

…Ironstone…

 

 

What else would I call my white?  For this piece, I’m so glad I finally got a lot of chipping.  All white pieces aren’t really my style, so I was hoping for lots of chippiness, which I got,  and I left the top and drawers wood.   Here’s how the piece started…

I sort of laughed when I showed my husband the finished dresser.  Most people would probaly consider it a “before” with the partially painted chippiness.  Oh well.  Those who get it, get it.

 

 

I was so fortunate to buy this piece with the gorgeous original glass knobs…

 

 

Oh, Milk Paint chippy goodness on turned legs.  Sigh.

 

I did make a video on getting the chippy look with Milk Paint and I just need to edit it to get it ready to share.

 

 

 

Up next…Grain Sack.  It’s a good one.

Beekman Arms Inn | Rhinebeck, NY

Mom and I left Thursday morning to drive a little over five hours to Rhinebeck, NY, for the Country Living Fair.  Our plan was to meander our way up, stopping at antique malls along the way.  That plan didn’t materialize because I didn’t have much time before the trip to

Shopping Wish List for the Country Living Fair

I have become a big believer in sharing my shopping wish lists publicly before going to an antique market.  It’s a bit like wearing my “lucky sweatshirt” when the Commanders have a game (which I do), but it often proves to be effective. Remember before the Lucketts Spring Market when
