Miss Mustard Seeds Milk Paint

After 3 years we have conformed to getting a King Bed. Lets be honest even though we do not want or let Isaac sleep in our bed when he is sick or when desperate times call for desperate measures its going to happen so we might as well all be comfortable! I bought this King bed frame for $20 and we then got to pick out our FIRST brand new mattress and that was glorious! We decided to paint the bed and I got excited when I discovered Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint. It is 100% natural, no VOC's and its a color that you can paint on like a stain or a paint. I'm a big fan. http://www.missmustardseedsmilkpaint.com/colors/

Before & After

It's easy to forget the way things used to look, so I'm grateful for projects that are "complete" (these are rare around here) so I can compare the photos. 1.5 years later our kitchen is complete and just in time for us to host 13 members of my family for Thanksgiving. Deadlines have a lot of power around here!

Our house is Blue

We still need to add white trim around the garage and the windows..you can see one test piece under that first window. But the weather is too cold to paint so it will have to wait for the spring :)
