March Milk Paint Madness! And paint giveaway.

March. Milk Paint. Madness!  The weather around here isn't the only madness....we're giving away $200 worth of milk paint in our March Madness bracket-style voting competition. Customers from around the country submitted their completed milk-painted projects, and we matched them up head-to-head for some friendly competition. With over 1,000 people voting in the first round, we've narrowed it down to ten projects for Round Two. The winner of the Contest will receive $150 in their choice of Milk Paint products, and one lucky voter will receive $50 in their choice of Milk Paint products. And if you don't win? No worries, our shipping is always free! You guys, there are a LOT of different furniture paints on the market these days. Some professionally-manufactured, and some moonshine-style, made in someone's garage. All of them have their uses, and our vendors even use a variety of them. But we have a hands-down favorite in Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint, and here's why: it's all-natural, zero-VOC (no toxins), and it's the safest paint around. The color palette is gorgeous, and it's really versatile; chippy & primitive, opaque & modern, use it as a stain or a wash, or an all-over color. It's the easiest to distress (if you wish), and doesn't leave brush strokes on your finished piece. That's my sales pitch. But seriously, check out the variety in the pieces below. Vote for your Round Two favorites {check out the Round One entries here}:

The winners of Round Two will advance to the next round; voting starts March 26th! {and yes, one of them will get a "bye" week...because making brackets is clearly not my business strength...whoops. The Round Two piece with the most votes will get a "bye."} If you're feeling inspired, but still a bit nervous about milk paint, we have a Bring Your Own Piece workshop coming up mid-April. We teach you the basics, then help you paint a small piece of your own from start to finish.

Happy voting! Brandy
