MMS kitchen scale milk painted paper towel holder

Classic Black Antique China Cabinet

Does anyone have china dishes anymore? Is it still a thing? Years ago, when I got married, it was all about picking your china pattern and creating a gift registry for the pieces you needed. My pattern was called Chelsea by Royal Doulton, and it was a soft muted floral.

Do you love hand crafted wooden items? I do too. :)

Let me share how I gave this hand crafted solid wood wall mounted paper towel holder a fun pop of color using milk paint.

I wanted to keep it soft and worn looking so went with Miss Mustard Seed milk paint in kitchen scale. This is one of my favorite Miss Mustard Seed color. I have used it on my own entry way desk, this super cute vintage dresser and my cute kitchen stool.

Above is one coat brushed on the cleaned holder. Being made of solid wood, it was perfect for milk paint to really soak in and be a part of the piece. When it was dry, which doe not take long at all, I sanded the paint smooth and distressed the edges.

To seal it, I used Homestead House's white wax rubbed on with a soft cloth and wiped off with a clean soft cloth. It left the perfect finish as well as white detailing in the corners and crevices.
