Miss Mustard Seed Curio is a rich, walnut brown that is perfect to use as a glaze or stain. It’s also a great colour to use for mixing with other colours. It was named after the rich wood on a curio Marian inherited from her aunt.
Pair Curio with a lightened version of Apron Strings for a classic brown and pink pairing.
Boxwood is a rich, dark grassy green. Depending on the finish used on the piece, it can look bright and bold or subtle – more like a muted olive. Boxwood takes its name from the preserved boxwood wreaths and topiaries Marian (aka Miss Mustard Seed) uses in her interiors.

Don’t forget that all Miss Mustard Seed milk paints are organic, biodegradable and contain zero VOC’s.
For those who think that milk paint should only be used to achieve a “primitive look,” this paint has been given a facelift with new colour options and fresh ideas on using it to fit your style. These are just a few of the ways milk paint can be used:
1. Use it on porous surfaces to create a finish that doesn’t chip or flake with time
2. Increase the ratio of water to paint to create a coloured stain or wash
3. Add the bonding agent when painting non-porous surfaces to increase adhesion
Miss Mustard Seed Artissimo is a navy/midnight blue which takes its name from the blue and white fabric Marian used in her master suite. Depending on the finish, it can look like a brighter royal blue or almost black. Artissimo can be paired with Boxwood and the other blues in the Miss Mustard Seed line.
Apron Strings is a raspberry/coral colour named by one of Marian’s blog readers. She remembered her grandmother wearing a coral apron and Marian loved the story she shared and the feelings evoked by the name.
When Apron Stings is mixed with Ironstone, beautiful shades of coral can be found.
Here are a couple of videos by Miss Mustard Seed showing not only how to use her a antiquing wax but how to easily age furniture.Wax is something that is really easy to apply. Basic rule is less is more !

Annie Sloan Versailles.
A soft delicate lightly yellowed dusky green that is sophisticated and gentle yet it works well with modern pieces too. Versailles is a colour which picks up other colours well and changes character accordingly. With Louis Blue, lightened Henrietta, Cream, Original and Old Whites it looks back to the French court of Versailles but with Provence, Duck Egg Blue and Coco it is a sassy modern colour.
A really subtle colour. Looks good with just clear wax or if you want more depth to the colour a touch of dark wax.

Annie Sloan Scandinavian Pink is such an underrated colour.Don’t let the mention of “pink” put you off trying this colour. One of the traditional colours found in much Swedish furniture which can be used it underneath many colours or try it using it in interiors of cupboards and drawers.
Looks good under Old Ochre, Old White and Paris Grey.

Annie Sloan Provence Chalk Paint.
Blue green shutters in the South of France are the inspiration for this colour. Set against walls of any of the whites. Provence needs light and bright fabrics with a Mediterranean and seaside feel. Other paint colours that work with Provence also need to have the same freshness and strength. Of course a cupboard painted Provence looks great against a wall of Old White.

Annie Sloan Promer Red
This is a colour which has recently found its way into my palette.It has been sitting on shelf winking at me for some time.It is a wonderful colour for layering and is totally cool just on its own.
Deep red ochre is a colour found in practically every culture from Venetian palaces to Vietnamese temples. Red earths were plentiful and relatively easy to come by so the colour is often associated with the colour for priming furniture and as the base coat for gilding. It is a wonderful colour on its own or as a base for other colours particularly when distressing.
