I love Christmas I really do. My house is so cheerful during the holidays so it’s always hard this time of year taking down all the Christmas decorations. All the sudden I notice all the dust in the corners and things I want to do to improve my house…even though it’s a rental I still love it like it’s mine. Last night as I was pulling down all the crispy garlands it dawned on me that I hadn’t taken any pictures of my decorations this year at all! So I walked around and snapped a couple of what was left up and presentable. It’s all coming down today 🙂
My bestie did this display of my ironstone in my dining room for me…we hosted my hubby’s company party this year…decorating was frantic but I loved this!
This was the office where this “kids” tree was with nutcrackers everywhere, candy cane lane themed, with red, white, and silver colors….this was the only place still presentable:) I loved the sled!
My shipping tag tree I do every year that I love! This is my daughters Nativity scene I haven’t found a grown up one that I love yet:)
I know someday I’m going to look back at these pictures and cringe that I even posted them on my blog:) gotta start somewhere.
So that’s the last hurrah until next year….
Now since I did my inventory this am for my milk paint I am feeling like I need to give some away! This giveaway is for one Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint color of choice and one bonding agent.

Gracefully Worn 
I would like yellow.
I just ran across your site while on Facebook and love what I see! I love anything in the blue family.
I am going to give away my age but as a little girl on our family farm, I remember using a paint called whitewash on our board fences. My dad mixed it up from a powder and at 7 years old I got the job of painting our board fences. Boy did I think I was big stuff doing an important job. Unfortunately, in twenty minutes I had more paint on me then on the fence. It was a wonderful and fun learning experience that I always remember. Milk paint reminds me of the whitewash. As I grew older and became an antique dealer and collector. I began to use milk paint in the 80s. The most popular colors were, red, black , blue and green. Then as the years surpassed, milk paint disappeard. I am so happy to see it making a comeback at my age now. I am so excited to use it again on some of my old antique furniture. The only problem is trying to decide which unusual piece I want to paint first in my 40 x60 barn with a loft that is filled with furniture that I have collected for the past 25 years.
I would choose linen since it reminds me of whitewashing the fence and the wonderful memories painting and being a little girl. Memories that still fill my heart.
I like you on FB! Great giveaway.
I liked you on FB! Love this paint.
I shared you on facebook for others to enjoy. thanks
Gen, Gen, Gen! A second chance?! You are an angel 🙂
I love how this milk paint looks!
Eventually after I’ve played with this paint a little I am thinking of painting our kitchen cabinets. I’ve always wanted white cabinets but may do the top 1/2 above the counters white & the bottom 1/2 by the oven gray. We’ll see!
For now, I’ll have to decide to practice on either the antique desk in the living room or the antique chest of drawers (currently painted green) under our TV. I love gray so shutter gray may be my color of choice although mustard seed yellow may give our home the pop it needs. Thanks for this chance!
I’ve gotta go see if Justin will let me ‘like’ you on FB for my second entry, HA!
I already like you on FB… I would choose a nice red. I have an oak curio bow front that just needs updating.
I would love to paint a bed for myself and my daughter. I have not used milk paint before and want to try it soon! Color I would love to win, green..it’s my daughters favorite color.
An antique white color and I’d be painting an old door 🙂
I need to find a vintage dresser for my living room to place by the front door, and I would paint it with the white milk paint. This would look awesome with my yellow/blue/white color scheme in this room!

I just delightful. There are two colors I really like, Ironstone and Tricycle Red. I’ve a heap of furniture just waiting to be painted. If I won one color, I’d have to buy another color because we can’t have one without another… It’s a terrible dilemma. LOL

I would love the Lucketts green to paint my vintage record cabinet. I have been dying to try miss mustard seeds milk paint. Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
I’ve just read Marian’s book ‘Inspired You’ and I am starting small and painting a table that I have long has ‘issues’ with – just to see if I will love it with a new look – if i play it ‘safe’ I’ll choose Typewriter, but if I manage to scrounge up some courage … Luckett’s green! I think! Her book really spoke to me – and I am inspired to do what I can with what I have. My budget is $0, but I’ve got a birthday coming and paint isn’t too expensive, right?
I’ve just liked you on FB for another chance! Thank you again!
P.S. I have that little wooden sled from when our darling girl was a baby and I *always* use it filled with fresh greens in an old galvanized bucket to decorate by the door at Christmas, but this year instead of Christmas we had a horrible respiratory flu, so decorating was not a priority. It’s nice to see your version – great minds must think alike … at times!
Yes they do! Hope all are healthy now…and there’s always next year to decorate!
Entry number 2. I liked your Facebook page. Thank you
I love your paint and would use either Kitchen Scale or French Enamel on a dresser that was my husband’s grandmothers and is most likely over 100 years old. I am going to put it in my entry way.

I would use the French enamel to paint a vintage dresser for my entry way. Love that color.

Dear “Gracefully Worn”,
Next week I turn 42 and I’m at a major crossroads in life having survived a job loss, divorce and major back surgery all within the past 18 months. As you mentioned that you did at some point, I too am reawakening & nurturing my creative side and have decided to turn my love of antique furniture, interior design, painting. and all things vintage into a fresh start by starting my own boutique furniture & home decor shop. I have been so inspired and motivated by women such as yourself who manage creative blogs along with all the wonderful artists who share their their amazingly beautiful painted antique furniture pieces!
All of the financial obstacles keep me questioning my willpower, but I keep facing forward and powering through! Of course, supplies are a major expense when starting out so I am asking to be the one you select for the give a way. Any extra assistance would be appreciated. I would be happy with any color for I love them all and it will be used to paint any one of the beautifully selected pieces which I have curated along the way and store in my storage unit & studio with the dream of being able to do this one day! Thank you for taking a moment to read & I also “liked” your page!
I have an old cabinet I would love to paint red !
Liked your face book page
I want to try Flow Blue, and I have the perfect table for it!
I have two pieces that are waiting to be painted. An old round coffee table with amazing detail. I would paint it two toned (Shutter Grey & a complimenting cream colour. My second piece is a small pedestal table that I was thinking of painting Tricycle Red and hope for some chippy chippy :).
I would love to paint an antique armoire either shutter or grain sack. Love the milk paint.
I would paint my kids table and chairs 🙂
Oops in linen!!

Thanks for the offer! I would LOVE to paint my hallway entry unit (bought at a garage sale/someone made from old doors & a window) that is faithfully waiting for a spruce of color with milk paint.

Would love to win. Just found out about miss mustard seed from a friend. I’m hoping to find inexpensive furniture to repaint for my bedroom and my kids since hurricane from almost 5 years ago. New Furniture for all 4 rooms not in our budget. So, planning to learn how to use paint to use on furniture and homemade headboards. Beds with just frames is dull and boring. I want to make my room French country and romantic. Right now its definitely blah, bed on frame and no matching furniture:(! Any ideas would be helpful, too 🙂

Since my daughter has moved out I will be up dating her room, as a guest room. I would love to try the grain sack paint or the shutter grey. I am looking to create a french grey and I am not sure which of those colors would be right. I would love your opinion. Is the typewriter a dark grey? Wining this paint would be a great help for me.
Linda typewriter is actually black 🙂
But the great thing about Miss Mustard Seeds paint line is you can mix the colors easily since its powder to achieve the desired color.
I would choose yellow to redo a dresser I am making into an entertainment unit.
I would paint my dining room table;) In whichever is the white color.
I have a foyer table that is definitely in need of a face lift. Color? Well, I’m torn between Mustard Seed Yellow and Tricycle. Both are gorgeous! 🙂
