I think I found the perfect milk paint color.
Seriously
Let me share.
I have had this stool for a couple of years or so,and it was in need of a little update.
I grew tired of the white washed paint look.
A week ago I received an email from Robyn Designs.
The email said if you spend 50.00 on Miss Mustard Seed paint products you will receive a free paint mixer.
And they are offering free shipping on Miss Mustard Seed paint products too!
I noticed that Miss Mustard Seed had lots of new colors.
The one that caught my eye was Eulalie’s Sky.
I decided to place my order with this paint and her wax too,which by the way is one of my favorites!
Not a pretty photo I know,but as you can see it is on my painters tarp ready to get painted.
First I want to tell you I love this paint mixer.
It does what it’s supposed to do,mix the paint.
As you can see I used a large plastic container I bought at the hardware store.
This container works great for mixing milk paint!
As I was mixing this color I knew I was going to love this on my stool.
All I can say is wow,love this color!
I know this will work perfect in my home especially paired with my pinks.
Okay this is going to sound silly,but this color makes me happy.
There is something about this color that makes you smile.
It has a vintage look and feel to it.
This is one of those colors that will work with so many designs and styles.
I think it has a bit of a Shabby Chic look to it.
Instead of using Miss Mustard Seeds wax I decided to try her hemp oil.
This was so easy to use and I love the look !
It’s nice to have another option besides wax when sealing painted furniture.
I think I may be using Miss Mustard Seed paint on my daughters cabinets in her bathroom!
But I have another color in mind so stay tuned!

Looking for a little design assistance with your blog?
oh I love this color and love that it is still rustically beautiful!
Thank you Fishtail Cottage,I do too <3
I love the colour too, and the stool looks so pretty now. take care, Maryann
Thank you Maryann!
Love the color you chose Anne and that stool is fabulous! I think I might be buying some MMS Milk Paint soon. I really love Grain Sack and I just love seeing all these Milk Paint Projects out there. Wonderful inspiration.
Mimi,I have used three of her colors so far and I am very impressed! I love that it is very safe to use too!
Just beautiful Anne – but I have to tell you – I’m giggling here – I have that same tool here – but it’s called a milk frother lmho –
Guess what I’ll be using it for now?
XOXO
Ha! So funny Suzan,well I think that is what inspired this for Marian.I remember when she first started her line she was using a larger one that was used for milk.
It’s a very pretty color, Anne! It looks great with pink, too.
Thank you Kathy!
Hi Anne, beautiful color choice! I just received a MMS milk paint order yesterday and I can’t wait to get started on using it. Enjoy your evening, Gail
Oh have fun Gail! I bet you have some beautiful treasures to paint.
Wow! I adore that color too. That stool looks like it was meant to wear that color. Did the milk paint automatically distress like that or did you sand it in certain areas. It’s perfectly done!
Good question Kelly,actually I distressed it with a sanding block.But it was not much effort to do so.This sands very easily.
Wow–I love that color too! Now I want to get some. That little mixer is just to cute–I hadn’t seen that before 🙂 Now I want that too!
Sandy I thought you would like that color <3 .It would look perfect in your home.
Pretty color Anne…love the way the stool turned out! I love using MMS hemp oil.
Thank you Martina! Yes me too,it was my first time using her oil.I might like it better than the wax.
I love this color, too! I’ve never tried MMS paints, only the ASCP so maybe it’s time for me to branch out. That color is just so perfect, I am drooling over here…..

Shanon yes you should give Milk paint a try.I enjoy using them both.
Beautiful Anne! And yes, such a pretty color!
Thank you so much Brandi 🙂
Your stool turned out wonderfully! I’m having fun experimenting with milk paint, too! My favorite part is mixing my own “custom” colors! Eulalie’s sky is the perfect choice for you! Happy Friday!
Thank you Kimberly! Yes it is the perfect color for me 🙂 .Looking forward to playing around with other colors!
So beautiful! I’ve never used milk paint before, been using chalk paint for a few years. Do you like the milk paint more than chalk paint?
Jeanine that is a good question.I have to say I do enjoy working with both. I can’t really pick one over the other.I think that there is a need for both.As a creative person and artist I love using different mediums.With Chalk paint you get a little bit of texture in the paint,I love that as it feels layered and old.On the other hand with milk paint you can get a really chippy look or a really soft look.
Your post makes me happy. It is beautiful/ I am in love with that color too. I have never used milk paint but from the looks of your pretty stool, I am hooked on it already. I love the pink roses. Pink is a perfect match for this color. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Janet
Oh I am glad it did Janet.There is something about that color that makes me smile too 🙂
I love how your stool turned out! I used this color on a nightstand and have been struggling with how to finish it off (light wax, dark wax???) and now that I see yours with the hemp oil, I think I’ll try that as it really looks wonderful!
Thank you Jane B! Yes I love her hemp oil! It’s nice to have an alternative to wax.
That is such a pretty soft colour, and yes it works perfectly with pinks.
Thank you Magali,I agree 🙂
Love the color Anne. Really pretty. Soft and subtle and it does make you want to smile when you look at it.
Kris
Thank you Kris <3
It IS the perfect blue, Anne! Love it – and the name, too! lol You did a fabulous job on that sweet stool. It’s the perfect vignette with your luscious pink roses. 🙂
xoxo laurie
Thank you sweet Laurie <3
You’re right, Anne-that’s a beautiful ‘happy’ color! Love your stool, too 🙂
Susan
Thank you Susan.
Anne, I really love the color of the stool, it is one of my favorite colors. never have used milk paint or chalk paint. that color will be pretty on so many things and will be a good color for decorating with other colors. Great job…Best wishes on opening your store, hope it is everything you hoped it would be and is a great success!!!
Thank you Nancy <3
I love this colour too! We just bought a small cottage and the main bedroom is tight for room fitting only a double bed, so my bedside tables will be two of those stools so they can be used for extra seating if needed. I am going to paint them just like yours. They will be beautiful and functional; can’t wait for summertime to come!
