Thanks Cathy! I knew that shade of “Retro Green” (it is literally called that, I think it’s a Dutch Boy color) would be perfect for it.

Hi! I bought the white chest with the Paris stencil on it at Junk Fest- I LOVE it! Goes so beautifully in my space. I was wondering if you could be on the lookout for a piece for me- I’m looking for a console table about 48inches long and 12inches deep and about 40 inches high. I would love a lightly distressed red paint. I’m not picky huh:) My email is anniemariemolseed@hotmail.com. Thanks!!

Hi Annie! Thanks so much again for buying that piece. Did it work in your bathroom? I’ll certainly keep my eyes peeled for a console table, but it’s probably a long shot that I will find something that meets your specifications 😉 You never know though! And Miss Mustard Seed paint has a fantastic red. I’ll keep you in mind. I generally show all of the pieces on my blog, so if you ever see something that you want, just leave a comment on the blog!

I have a post about painting the table here. I wish it was an easier answer, but this is actually a custom mix of Miss Mustard Seed milk paint in Mustard Seed Yellow and Linen. I didn’t take specific measurements, just added some of each and ended up with this lovely sunny yellow.

Thank you for getting back to me , I will have to try a mix myself and see what I come up with. But I do love your work.

That dresser is up at the Round Barn in Andover, MN. Are you in Minnesota? Andover is just about 15 minutes north of Minneapolis. I believe it is priced at $229. It is quite darling.

This was a hard choice to pick my favorite piece since I own 4 of these pieces and purchased 5, one was a gift:). And there are many pieces that I didn’t buy that I love but hands down my favorite piece is the French Linen Sideboard. The pictures truly don’t do this piece the admiration it deserves but from the moment I saw her, I knew I had to have her and every time I walk by her I smile because she’s perfect (not sure why I assigned “her” a female gender, maybe because she’s so pretty). That’s my 2014 favorite fab furniture piece! Linda (and Mike) are amazing, thank you for making my house prettier. Can’t wait for the next purchase! P.S. I’m looking for a hutch, actually two hutches:)

Nikkii! I was so hoping you would vote! I have to laugh, as I was going through and picking my own favorites I kept thinking “oh, that one went to Nikkii, oh, that one did too …” Too funny. Good pick with the French Linen Sideboard. It was beautiful. It got pinned a lot on pinterest. As for the hutch, you and me both sister. I am looking for a hutch for my studio and having no luck at all on craigslist. At least I have been unable to find any that are affordable (in my book, which is fairly cheap, I’ll admit). I’ve also been searching for more sideboard/buffet pieces and not having a lot of luck. Hopefully some will come along soon though. Take care Nikkii, Happy New Year!

Hope you can stop by Hastings this Sunday! The date of the next Carriage House sale is up in the air at the moment, but once it is scheduled I’ll share plenty of info about it here on the blog. We’ve been doing 2 a year for the last couple of years, but I’m thinking of going back to just one per year. But meanwhile, swing by either Eye Candy REfind in Hastings, or Reclaiming Beautiful in Stillwater to see some of my pieces!
