What’s your happy color? Mine is yellow.
This cute little table has me doing the Mustard Seed Yellow Happy Dance! {it’s a new dance…I choreographed it myself} How about those curvy detailed legs? And all that milk paint chippyness?
as found at the Nashville Flea Market
This table has to be the waterfall style….right? I haven’t seen one like it before…..it’s fun when I find something a little different. The table is missing a support board/thingie on the bottom. I painted her all up and the JTS {junktion technical specialist, aka hubby} took one look and said, “I could have cut another board to got there”.
I know, but sometimes when I’m in the mood to work on a project…well, I’m ready then. Don’t know what I would do without the JTS to help me out and keep me on the straight and narrow. Like that’s possible!
While ya’ll are reading this we are at the VA Hospital in Nashville getting a pre-op work-up done on the JTS. When we were living in Pensacola a few years ago my hubby had a heart attack and they put one stent in an artery then. Now he needs more work. prayers would be appreciated moving on……
I was ready for another milk paint project and since yellow is way up there on my favorite list…I pulled out a box of Mustard Seed Yellow. I mixed about ⅔ cup of powder with enough water to make a cup of paint. I like my milk paint a little thicker than some.
I applied 2 coats of milk paint….back to back….it dries really fast. The paint was chipping in all the right places and I rubbed a rag over the whole table to take off the loose paint. I scraped a putty knife along all the edges on the legs and curvy details to knock off some more paint.
I finished it off with Miss Mustard Seed’s Furniture wax. The wax protects the finish and also gives it a nice patina.
From start to finish the table was completed in under 2 hours….really. {that drop cloth can tell you some stories} What’s you happy dance color? Leave a comment please….I do the happy dance over comments too. Have a great day, Kathy

I love it - I'm generally not a fan of yellow - but MMS Yellow has just about changed my mind on that!
PS. There is a Link Party on the Milk Paint Blog, too - link it on up over there as well! LOVE how this came out -

My color is Green, but I have yet to find that Special tone yet. So I paint creams, off blacks and whites. I love the chippy on this table and wait for the right piece to use MMSP. Thoughts are with you and yours at this time.
thanks for sharing
