Darling petite hutch in Luckett's Green Milk Paint!

This was one of my favorite pieces to refinish.  She only stands 60" tall but she stands to claim some attention!!!  I decided to give my new delivery of Miss Mustard Seeds Luckett's Green Milk Paint a whirl.  Let me say....it was my first attempt at milk paint...yes I was nervous.  I did call on a little help from my friend Sheri Carle at Vintage Retold.  She gave me that nudge I needed.  Thanks Sheri!!

Isn't she darling....all 60" of her!

Ok--so I got the Luckett's Green and I also selected Linen for the accent area's.  As it started to dry and do it's milk paint thing.....more and more of the paint was coming off than I wanted!  I thought all the Linen was going to come off and expose ALL of the wood.  I did not want that!!  That's when I gave Sheri a ring.

So I started painting a second coat of Linen....guess what?  It came off in the same exact places....hmmmm  that's probably why it came off in the first place....it was meant to have no paint there!  Go figure!

Next I decided she needed a little darkness to her.  I rubbed the entire piece with Annie Sloan Dark Wax.

Messy...I should be wearing gloves BUT that would be like reading the directions...who does that??

Look at all her loveliness!!

I gave her a little sanding here and there then reapplied dark wax.

All finished and I think she turned out fantastic for my first milk paint adventure!  She is going in my booth at the  Great Lakes Coloma Antique Mall and will be for sale $275.

Have a great day and Thanks for stopping by!
