A Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint Before & After
Now to share my first Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint makeover – an antique spool table.
I bought the table from a friend who had stored it in his garage. He had hoped to restore the wood finish but given the passage of time he was more than pleased for me to take up the challenge.
Luckily, he had stripped off most of the old finish, but the spool legs had some remnants of black paint. I decided to restore the wood finish on the table top and paint out the rest. First I sanded the wood top and then moved on to paint color selection….

Once I unpacked the pigmented Milk Paint powder, I could not resist mixing a new color! I combined Flow Blue, Mustard Seed Yellow, and Lucketts Green. Here is the table with its new Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint finish and with the table top sanded.
The first coat of paint was mixed with water and then applied with a brush. The paint took better to some sections of the table than to others. For the second batch I added Bonding Agent to the mixed paint and that did the trick. The paint went on very smoothly and evenly working more like a stain. I loved the luminosity of the color!
Even though I wrote the color formula down, the second batch of paint ended up being a slightly different color than the first so I mixed enough to finish the project. I suppose with the powdered mix it matters how you measure…loosely or tightly packed powder. I just took a relaxed approach and had fun with it.
I used Miss Mustard Seed Furniture Wax and Antiquing Wax on the painted table base. As the Antiquing Wax was applied, it toned down the bright color working more like a glaze. It was very easy to use!
I used Annie Sloan Dark Soft Wax to stain the newly sanded wood table top. I added a few simple wooden knobs to add interest, staining the unfinished knobs as well.
I love how a fresh coat of Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint revived this old spool table while the top remains true to the original (and now restored) wood finish.
Do you have any unfinished furniture projects lurking in your garage? October is a great time to bring them back to life!
Linking up to….

I had fun with it! This project has been waiting in the wings for several months and I thought it would be perfect for a Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint makeover.

After doing all the commenting on Danielle’s site for the giveaways, I felt like I was neglecting you. LOVE the table project. I could kick myself for having gotten rid of at least 4 perfect tables over the past 5 years. They would have made a wonderful basis for this project. So glad to have found your blog. Keep up the beautiful work.
Thanks for coming by Trish!!! I have many projects waiting in the wings and I understand the need to clean out sometimes. I think a perfect table is in your future!
I would love to try this milk paint! What a great before and after!

Hi Nan. I absolutely love your transformation! When I saw the knobs, it made me scroll up because I didn’t think there was a drawer in the table. And there isn’t! I like your addition of the decorative knobs.

Wondering if the milk paint is as addicting as ASCP? Since my mid winter purchase from you I have done oddles of projects and am just running out of
paint! Thanks for the inspirations!

See you soon,
Dailyn
Hey Dailyn, Thanks! Can’t wait to see you work your magic! Best of luck with the Giveaway. See you soon!
Thanks so much for the opportunity! I’m very curious about milk paint.
I shared the giveaway on my Facebook page.
great giveaway!
I just love ASCP and can’t wait to work MMS paint into the mix! Great job on the table, you have inspired me to give MMS paint a try. I follow MMS’s blog and love the chippy look she gets from the paint as well…..time for a visit to RI!
Love. Love.. Love… the whole idea of using Milk Paint. I have just discovered the fact that it is available to people like myself. The fact that it is a natural organic paint makes it something to be proud to use. I am amazed at the finished effect it has and that you can just make up the amount you require. It is unique. It is personal. It is simply the best. If it was good enough for the Kings and Queens of Egypt it’s good enough for me.
