French Enamel and Ironstone Milk Paint

It’s the calm before the storm….at least that’s what the weatherman is saying!   The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning in our area with heavy snow today.   I’m okay with getting snowed in for a day or so.  I have a lot of furniture pieces that are in dire need of a makeover, that I can work on in the garage, like this piece that I recently finished.

This is what it looked like before.

I painted it with Miss Mustard Seed (MMS) milk paint.   I used French enamel milk paint on the base and ironstone milk paint on the drawer and door front.

I left the top stained and added chicken wire to the door fronts.

I have already taken it to my booth in hopes that it finds a new home.

You know as I type this I’m thinking that maybe I won’t spend my day out in the garage working…..maybe I’ll spend my day with Charlie.  His office is closed today so he’ll be home!  Maybe we can spend the day watching movies and playing Yahtzee!

As always thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful week.
