There’s nothing more refreshing than lemons, is there? From their bright citrus scent, to their sparkling taste in lemonade, these little bits of sunshine make you smile instantly.

Did you know you can also use lemons to refresh your home decor? Better yet, did you know that lemons and Miss Mustard Seed’s MilkPaint™ are a perfect duo?

True story.

We used some lemon transfers from IOD along with an old cabinet door and some good ‘ol MilkPaint™ to create a fresh new sign for our wall decor!

Want to make one too? Read on, fellow MilkPainter!

Miss Mustard Seed’s® Milk Paint is a story about a love of milk paint that is growing with each bag sold, each workshop taught, each piece of furniture that is transformed. It is a story that starts with natural ingredients, when it's mixed with water and the color of the pigments come to life, it becomes our very favorite paint in the world. We hope it becomes your favorite too.
