Embracing the Artist Within with Hand-painted Stencils from Miss Mustard Seed

Known for her elegant hand-painted furniture, blogger, interior designer and Milk Paint enthusiast Marian Parsons, also known as Miss Mustard Seed, waited for inspiration to strike before designing a stencil line that reflects her unique artistic view. ​

For those who admire the beauty of hand-painted furniture, Miss Mustard Seed has made the look even easier to achieve by expanding the Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint line to include an exciting new range of stencils based on her very own brush strokes!

We're thrilled to be one of the few retailers in Australia carrying this very special range. Look how beautiful!

In an interview with For The Love Creations, Miss Mustard Seed explained: “I had the idea to make the stencils from my hand-painted designs that I’ve used on furniture. The stencils are cut from my exact brush strokes. The feathering of the bristles and the inconsistencies were retained, making them unique to the market.”

The five stencil designs are elegant, simple and have a distinctly feminine touch,  “We have a tradition in our family of passing names down, so I decided to pass family names down to my stencils,” laughs Miss Mustard Seed. “It was a bit of a whim, but I’m happy to honor them in this small way.”

Stenciling has a rich history of decorative and artistic use throughout the world, from inside the pyramids of Egypt, to the walls of Pompeii. Stencils were rediscovered and mass produced in modern times making them readily available to everyday diy-ers.

Miss Mustard Seed placed a unique twist on this, by recreating an authentic brush-stroke stencil that emphasizes the individualized look of a hand-painted design.

With painted furniture playing an important role in interior design, adding artistic touches including a “real” hand-painted accent to furniture provides a customized look that buyers appreciate and seek out.

The Miss Mustard Seed Hand-Painted Stencils allow users to recreate a design as they like. The stencils provide a template while allowing for creativity in how they are used. Placement, position, whether using the entire pattern, a part, or a combination of stencils…this is left up to the individual artist!
