hi hey everybody this is Trish yep and although we do have a scheduled live event this coming Friday which today's Wednesday so so it is on the 8th June 8th and we are going to be for the Facebook live we are going to be doing what we're gonna be painting this beautiful dresser in miss mustard seed milk paint yeah so we're gonna be talking about the differences of milk paint versus chalk paint and also um Courtney from nuts to bolts we're gonna be talking about what when it comes to milk paint really the mixing part of it because Annie Sons chalk paint it comes pre-mixed miss mustard seeds does not it comes in a powdered pigment that you mix with the water so we're gonna talk in depth about that yep so we'll go into deep about how do you mix milk paint what kind of surfaces can you use milk paint on is there anything additional you need to add to the milk paint like a bonding agent when would you do that when wouldn't you we'll talk about different top coats available using the milk paint and we're going to be actually doing what on Friday okay so this is the dresser that in two days we're gonna be using miss mustard seeds milk paint to paint but tell me the deal what's going on the top of this right now so we had a veneer top on this and the entire front was lifting up and peeling off okay well we're gonna try to do which is actually working quite effectively is taking off the veneer using steam and iron and I'm using a screwdriver but you really should be using a putty knife but my ours is at my house so so just out of curiosity and there's more than one way to do this but you want to just show them how you were yeah so because we don't have the veneers stick to the iron we're putting a than she's clocked down yeah just a little cat-cow hot towel and then what and then we're going to pour our steam function doesn't work on the iron so what we're going to do is we're gonna pour a bunch of water on your keep going there so you're just using hot steam in a hot iron on the top and then we're just kind of slowly peeling it away you can see it's kind of done quite a bit already yeah we have a pile over there just working our way through and then once we get it all off we might go through one more time kind of heat it up a bit and then um just turn that around and then we'll see what we're gonna do with the top we're not sure if we're gonna stain it we're gonna just put hemp oil on it or what's gonna happen so you see we're just kind of peeling it off if you're tuning in been there people have no hook this is some people use a hairdryer that works pretty good they says my hairdryer doesn't get that hot so I know it doesn't work too well but if you have your own little secrets on how you do this other than what we're doing feel free to leave a comment what um so just out of why don't we uh so this is Kourtney just slowly peeling back that veneer that's steamed and we're just pulling it off making sure that we're not scratching the top because we want to keep it nice and good but why don't we take a break from that why don't you show them the colors maybe they can vote on it yeah so we have a couple colors that we're thinking about so first of all what are we gonna do with the dresser are we gonna work thinking we're not gonna paint the top maybe just the base yeah we're thinking about just painting the base and either staining or doing a hemp oil finish on the top I don't think we've decided okay yeah we don't know if we're gonna end up making the top of the dresser darker or leaving it as is and just putting a handful on it but I don't know if you can see the profile in the front of this piece it's pretty cool it's got a lot of beautiful like curves to it I in fact I don't think I haven't come across a piece that hit this much detail like that yeah okay so um these are the color choices were debating on so hey feel free to tell us your favorites so starting from left over here so we have Mora okay kind of a gray with a bit of a green mint okay it's coming across a little bit more gray on the videos up and so Scott's like what's with the iron Scott we've been working on removing this old veneer yeah no we do not on your clothes at the purple paint we do not okay so Scott we're asking for people tell us what your color choices for painting this dresser with miss mustard seeds milk paint yeah so here's some options so we have Maura Fargo in the lab it's kind of like a grayish a little bit of green - it's really pretty we have shudder grey which is a bit of a darker gray with more blue to it yep and that's coming across a lot more blue on the camera then it actually is what else do we have Eulalia sky that's like a really light turquoise if anyone's used like chalk paint it's kind of like a Provence color later a little bit later on oh shoot oh my gosh allergies in New York I'm so sorry so that you'll a nice sky reminds me a little bit more of like a duck egg but anyways we have schloss which is like a taupe ish gray I love it looks like it looks a little like fresh linen French linen has a little bit more yes is it grace with a little green though so we have boxwood which is like an emerald green okay and then there's trophy which is kind of like a darker version of schloss yeah I like that too lisa says shudder grey Noreen cause Purple's unfortunately Noreen um the Oh what was her cold right laughing dried lavender it was a miss mustard seed color that's no longer available otherwise we would have done it in that we actually talked about it this morning we even had it out we're like well we can't sell it that paints just continued so probably don't want to promote it I'm so really quick the difference between milk paint and chalk paint you want to just obviously have quartz over there but chalk paint comes pre-mixed in a court and it's already you just got to shake it really good and you open the lid and you start painting it is a heavy body paint and it's the pigment is is sallykaus really concentrated through it there's no stripping sanding or priming where if you're going to be using milk paint a traditional milk paint yes so let me just focus on Courtney so milk paint comes can you show like how thin the bag is oh yeah it's just a little bag and there's powdered pigment in there and this is traditional milk paints been around for centuries and there's your quart of chalk paint so this is pre-mixed you shake it pop the lid you start using it it has a flat matte appearance milk paint you add water to the amount of powdered pigment that you would like to create your milk paint it doesn't have an extremely long shelf life so usually within two days you want to use it otherwise it starts to get dry in that court I believe has about coverage for about 70 something square feet yeah and a quart of chalk paint it's gonna have about 150 square feet there is a difference in pricing you can visit your local retailer we sell both but there's about a 1214 dollar difference this being the less cost of the two just so you're aware so on Friday if you tune in on Friday we are going to be mixing milk paint we're going to be talking about all the different applications you can use it on you're gonna be very surprised about how good the coverage is and what else we're going to talk about various top coats what you can do to add to milk paint the surfaces that you can use milk paint on house and the beauty out of it so like with milk paint if you really love that rustic sort of chippy farmhouse appearance I think you're more in tune to be able to achieve that easier with milk paint it's totally natural there's no chemicals in the milk paint I think you're gonna find this there's no smell just like chalk paint and somebody was asking so why would you use milk paint personally I find that you either love using milk paint or you might not but we get I find a lot of men who come into our shop who build period-specific furniture they are very um interested in milk paint because that's what would have been used during maybe the Craftsman style of what they were what they were building so um let's see here what time on Friday thank you for asking Cindy so 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time and if you text the number seven four one two one what are you gonna do now just text the word chalk paint all one word no cats if you have a smartphone it's gonna try an autocorrect it's a chalk paint with two words it needs to be one you cannot have that yeah and you can opt out at any time but that way even though this was really spontaneous on Friday we'll just send you a quick text 10 minutes before the video our Facebook live and that way if you want a tune in you can because we usually give something away and you need to be present to do that but the videos we always saves you can watch them later so so um on Friday we're gonna be talking about differences between milk paint and chalk paint some of the I think really wonderful attributes of milk paint and also if your local to us we'll be providing a list of maybe some milk paint workshops that you can sign up for Courtney's gonna be teaching those and that's it right yeah okay so happy Wednesday everybody bye see you Friday
