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.

Shopping at Lucketts Fall Market 2026

As I shared last week, my plan for the Lucketts Fall Market was to shop Friday morning and then man my space in the afternoon.  As soon as the gates opened and people wanted to purchase prints and paintings, I knew that plan was folly.  I know, as a shopper,
