I love painted furniture and I have many pieces in my home. Vintage furniture painted in a rustic way with chalk paint or milk paint are my favourites. I like how over time the lightly sanded parts become more pronounced and the intentional wear and tear sanded into the piece becomes real. I have done some of the painting myself and have had a few pieces done for me.

Of course the Queen of painted furniture is Miss Mustard Seed's, Marion Parsons. She is so talented and always does an amazing job on the pieces she hunts down at tag sales and flea markets. She has a great number of tutorials so head on over if you are considering doing a little DIY on a piece you have found or something you have at home. You can even buy her Milk Paint line to help you along.

This wonderful 1820's cottage was redone in natural colours and vintage and French finds. This home just brings out all of my love for worn painted furniture and rustic decor! I love the different shades of grey on the walls and the pale pastel colours used in touches throughout the home..... I seem to be having a thing for pastels this week...and what about the incredible beamed ceiling! Oh I could go on and on..the column in the living room and the statue beside makes such a great corner display. The ironstone bowls running down the dining room table and of course the chandelier....ah yes. Super styling everywhere you look, every table has a little vignette that is incredibly well done. At the end of it all is a little tea house, formally a chicken coup, that sits in the garden....just perfect.
