Drop-Leaf Side Table

First, I like to start off by saying I LOVE Miss Mustard Seed’s wax!  This drop-leaf side table was used as my guinea pig for my first attempt using Miss Mustard Seed’s (MMS) milk paint and wax. 

I ordered several different MMS milk paint colors.  I used Linen on this side table.  I have to be honest, I messed up the first time when I mixed the milk paint…..I added way too much water.  But the second go round I got it right. 

  When I first applied the milk paint not much paint chipping occurred.  But when I applied the second coat, it chipped a lot!  In fact, there was hardly any paint left on it.  At that point, I sanded best part of the table down with my sander and then reapplied the paint.  You can see in some areas where the paint was still chippy.

   I used one of the stencils that I purchased from Maison De Stencils and stenciled on top of the table.

I have to say, I really like MMS milk paint.  I would definitely use it again.  In fact, I’ve already started another painting project using it.  But what I LOVE is her wax!  It goes on smooth and is so easy to buff.  

Now, this little drop-leaf side table is headed to my booth. 

As always thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  The weather here is suppose to be really nice…we shall see!
