Miss Mustard Seed milk paint ~ linen cedar chest

I have been dying to try Miss Mustard Seed milk paint and products forever, finally I got my chance. I chose a universal color, linen, to try on my first project; a dark wood cedar chest.

there is a wee learning curve to mixing but once you get equal parts water and powder mixed up, on goes the first coat

 then a second, it naturally resists and chips where it wants for an old fashioned look

 I gave the whole thing a light sanding before sealing with a dark wax followed by a coat of clear wax

 and I used a darker patina wax to highlight details, corners etc to add to the aged feel and look

 cedar lined goodness

and all sides finished for a stand alone piece.. what do you think?
