Time for another reveal of the next Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint color – “Kitchen Scale”…

 

Here’s how this piece started…

 

 Yeah, it’s hard to believe it’s the same piece, isn’t it?

Here’s why I named the color Kitchen Scale…

 

 

The color isn’t exactly the same.  My aqua has more green in it, but this scale was my inspiration.

 

 

I love how this paint finish turned out.  It only chipped in a few small places, but the entire finish had this wonderful texture.  You can see it if you look closely…

 

 

I decided to jazz up the dresser with some branches and blossoms.  I’ve enjoyed the decorative painting I’ve done lately and it seemed fitting for this piece.  It’s a very petite dresser, so it’s perfect for a little girl’s room or guest room.

 

It chipped just a little bit around one of the knobs.

 

 

Since it’s a busy pattern, I kept the decorative painting to the drawer fronts only.

dusting off the sewing machines…

It’s been a minute since I had my sewing machines out.  I had to reacquaint myself with winding the bobbins and getting the needles properly threaded, but I slowly figured it out.  The funny thing is that I needed to wear reading glasses over my contacts to thread the needles
