Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Painted Drawers in Artissimo

Furniture Makeovers· Furniture Restoration & Makeovers· Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint Products· Tutorial

18 Jan

I’m excited to show you my latest milk painted drawers! Artissimo is one of the darkest, almost midnight blue hues in the Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint line. MMS Milk Paint is one of my favourite paints to use for a lovely, primitive and rustic farmhouse style.

Recently, I did a three part live video series on how I painted and finished this set of drawers over on my Facebook page. So I thought I’d post them all together here in one blog post for you to see the start to finish process.

Part 1 – Mixing the Milk Paint

In part 1 below, I show you how to mix the Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint – remember it’s a replay of a live video, so you can skip ahead to the parts you want to watch!

Part 2 – Staining the Wood top & drawers

In this video, I show you how I blended two of Fusion’s Stain & Finishing Oils to create the beautiful light cappuccino colour on the top of the dresser and the drawers. I love the Silk Oak grain in this piece, so it is lovely to see the grain really stand out as the oil finish soaks in.

Part 3 – Tough Coat Sealer over Milk Paint

To seal the surface of the Milk Painted drawers, I used Miss Mustard Seed’s Tough Coat Sealer. At the end of this post, I’ll share a link to a great post that explains the difference between Milk Paint, Chalk Paint and Mineral Paints. Milk Paint has a matte, porous finish and therefore needs a sealer to avoid fingerprints and reactions to water spills.

You’ll see little flecks of original paint in the silky oak surface, and I don’t mind showing off those historical character traits of its former lives. If only furniture could speak, right?

As promised, here’s my popular post on What’s the Difference Between Chalk Paint, Milk Paint and Mineral Paint.

Swipe to see this easy refresh of an a-frame chalk Swipe to see this easy refresh of an a-frame chalkboard. Before: see how the writing has been “burnt into” the chalkboard?
1. Check to see if chalkboards are removable. These could lift out easy like a picture frame backing. 
2. Refresh the boards with a coat or two of chalkboard paint. For this one I used @fusionmineralpaint in Coal Black. 
3. Refresh frame with your choice of stain. This frame was unfinished raw pine. I used Fusion’s Stain & Finishing Oil in Driftwood. Wipe on & remove excess with lint free cloth. 
4. Voila - finished! 
Note: remember to “season” your new chalkboard before use so that your message isn’t permanently burnt into the board. 
Seasoning: using a piece of chalk on its long side, rub over the entire surface, then rub surface with a dry cloth all over, spreading the chalk dust evenly across surface. Use a clean cloth or chalkboard duster to rub away chalk dust. Your surface is now seasoned and ready for use. 
Save/bookmark this post for future reference. 😁
