A Vintage Bedside Table in Boxwood Milk Paint

Antique Finds· DIY Hints & Tips· Furniture Makeovers· Furniture Restoration & Makeovers· Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint Products

15 Apr

I found this little vintage bedside at our local Salvos Store and brought it home for a little TLC. During a recent series of lives on my Facebook page, I did 5 tutorials on things that could be upcycled around your home, including frames, tins, chairs, tea towels/cushions or bedside tables.

During my 5 days of Lives on my Facebook page, I painted the bedside with Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in the colour, Boxwood. Below is the replay of the live so you can see how I applied it and for more details on my best tips for painting with Milk Paint.

If you’ve never used Milk Paint before, it comes in powdered form, and you mix the powder with equal parts water – super easy.

I often get asked, “What’s the difference between Milk Paint, Chalk Paint and Mineral Paint?” so I actually wrote a detailed post about the differences HERE.

Once the Boxwood colour was completely dried and after two coats to give it a full coverage, I sanded back lightly using about a 320-400 sanding grit on my Sandi Hands Sanding Gloves.

I went live on my Facebook page again the following week to show how I finished off the bedside cupboard in Miss Mustard Seed’s Hemp Oil. Here’s the replay of that live video below:

You can find the cute Vintage Canning Labels here in both Printed and Digital copies.

Here’s the finished look of the vintage bedside.

At the time of this writing I have a few of these leather pulls and handles in various colours. They really are a fun modern twist on a vintage piece like this.

This is going on … it’s about time. 🙄
A big job but someone’s gotta do it. 
We’ve had this bedroom suite for over 20 years and it’s been great but in desperate need of a makeover!
With all the other expenses associated with a new house build, I’m determined to save some $$ by not having to buy a new bed set OR bring this to the new house in its current state. 

There - I’ve said it out loud. Which kinda means I have to go through with it. We have a couple months, so I’m pushing through, in among the other things I’ve got going on running my business. A bite each day and this elephant of a task will be done before ya know it. 
Check out my stories to follow the progress. 😬 and if you want to shout a  little cheer every now and then, that’d be great. 😜👏🏻🤛🏻
