June Shop Pics

We've got our red, white and blue out this week for the upcoming Fourth Of July. 

We've got some really cute dressers.

And pop crates.

Even a handful of things for summer decorating.

Check out this great ship, and mom's adorable sail boats.  They are perfect along side some seashells and starfish.

Stop by this weekend.  We are open today from 10am to 3pm.  Then we are all headed up north to the cabin for the 4th of July.  We hope to see you!

Shutter Gray

Many of you haven't tried Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint yet, and we'd like to change that.  Hopefully with more inspiration from us, you'll be more apt to give it a try.  This dresser is done in Shutter Gray.

I love the color. It is such a pretty blue gray.  I used bonding agent on the surround, and went without on the drawers.  So far I've had luck with the chipping. I didn't use a scraper this time to help the chipping along.  Instead I just rubbed it with a cloth to remove the chipped paint. 

Well, now it's your turn to give it a try!

Milk Paint Love

This week we hope to have Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint out for sale.  I have been playing with it a little bit, and I'm in love with the outcome.

As you can see, my first project turned out beautiful!  I love the way the milk paint chips all on it's own, making the furniture piece look naturally aged.  This was the first time I had used milk paint, and was pretty pleased with the results.

The process from start to finish is pretty easy, but the results look like it took much more time and energy to get to the end product.

 What do you think?  Did I do good for my first try?

This is what she started out like.   Great lines, wonderful size, just not there yet.

Oh how I wish I could keep her. 

Take a close look at all that chippy-ness.  You can have some too.  Stop by the shop and pick up some Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint and start painting!  We will be open this weekend and should have it all out by then.  We hope to see you Thursday, Friday or Saturday, and remember, we are open every Tuesday now too, from 9-12.  Have a great week!

What's New?

I wanted to share some of the new things we have at the shop this month.

Starting with the newest issue of Jeanne D'Arc Living magazine.  We have the July issue here, as well as some May left also. 

Ready for the Red, White and Blue?

Isn't this perfect for some Red, White and Blue flare?  Very Captin America if you ask me....hint..hint.

Mom has made more sail boats.  These are perfect for summer decorating. 

We have plenty of old oars to choose from.

These are authentic New England Lobster floats.  They look adorable grouped together.

I believe Stacey from A Sort of Fairy Tale is brining out more pillows and hankie banners this week.

These vintage table cloths are perfect for the casual summer table.

This adorable little desk is painted in Louis Blue and Old White Chalk paint. It has been lightly tattered.

Loooove this!  This cool piece is perfect as a tv stand and would even work as a kitchen island.  Anne has dibs if it doesn't sell.  It is one of the coolest pieces we've seen.  It is the most perfect blue/grey color!

This is a great little cabinet as well.  It has glass doors for the front which we have kept off for now.

Not new, but worthy of more attention.

 
As you can see, its "time" to stop by the shop if you haven't been in a while.  Hope to see you this weekend.  We're open!
