Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint in Miss Mustard Seed YELLOW!
It was a freezing cold night and on a whim 
I went out to the studio to paint something....anything...

This table has been patiently waiting for 

some love and the cold inspired me want to paint it
 sunshine-y and bright. The perfect choice?
What better than Miss Mustard Seed Yellow!

Because this was a spur-of-the-moment thing,

 I started painting so quickly I didn't think about taking a before photo.
But take my word for it.  
It was a hot mess of shiny enamel.
In a few minutes, and before the frostbite got me, this is what I accomplished.

It was a small spoonful or two of Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint,
likely a sample bag worth of Milk Paint. 
I mixed it with my Mini-Whisk in a glass jar and was painting in minutes.

The next morning I painted the drawers and the top. 
Just one coat is all it took.

Over the next few days I was busy on the computer updating 
the online shop with a our new shipment of awesome stencils!!!
Excited to get back out into the studio, but with stencils on the brain, 

I decided to stencil the top of the table
but instead of using paint, I used Miss Mustard Seed's White Wax
and the gorgeous Wrought Iron Panel stencil.

Love the hand--painted look and that pigment remants that Milk Paint leaves (if you want it to!)

I might start waxing every stencil around — love this result
What a fun little experiment this turned out to be. 
I couldn't be happier with the result
 and even the sun came out to celebrate!



I was already loving the result. 
For the most part, I don't like crisp, sharp patterns, 
so I planned on buffing out the top for a worn, aged finish.

However, this is something to consider when stencilling.
Not only should you plan placement and direction, but any overlapping
as well and how your pattern will continue.

Once finished stencilling with the White Wax, 
I buffed right away to soften the overall look. 
Next I used Miss Mustard Seed's Furniture Wax on the legs and base 
before adding White Wax on the drawers then adding
the Darling Dahlia knobs from our Knob Collection online.

Super fast. Super effective.
Stencilling with Wax may just become a thing around here!

Pure sunshine happiness....loving the combination! Definitely a better take on the white/creme look. Really like the thinking outside the square with the wax for a very romantic result. Clever Sada. Xxx
