Painted White Cabinet

Chippy White Goodness!!!

So I finally finished up my cabinet in the living room.

This is what it looked like before

 I painted it with a mix of what I had on hand.

I had some Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint in Ironstone.

But I didn't have a lot of it...so I mixed it up and added a pint of Valspar paint to it.

I lightly sanded first and then cleaned the cabinet up with vinegar.

I did too good of job sanding and cleaning because she didn't chip at all.

Perhaps she would have if I hadn't mixed paints.

Probably would...but I wanted to use what I had.

So I sanded the dickens out of her. 

 Then I used Miss Mustard Seed Furniture Wax on top.

Two coats.

 It's a beautiful smooth finish.

Knobs came from Hobby Lobby.

This pretty orchid?

I confess I bought it at work the other day. 

I said I wouldn't be buying much there but I could not resist this sweet small orchid

in a silver container.

So yesterday at work one of the Vice Presidents of the company 

came up to me and said,

"We were all looking at your blog this morning."

I was like...you were? How did you know I have a blog?

He said every morning they check to see what is being said about Bob Mills 

Furniture on the internet and up popped my blog.

Thank goodness he didn't have a problem with me promoting the store.

I didn't think they would.

Bob Mills Furniture

Looking around the store

I took time the other day to photograph my favorite pieces at the store.

I'm working at Bob Mills Furniture. It's been in business since 1971.

They have seven locations - one in Oklahoma City and six others in Texas.

The location in Oklahoma City is also the corporate office.

I fell in love with the piece above my first day at work.

It is actually not for sale. It sits in the office of Bob Mills' executive assistant.

She knew I loved it...I've gawked at it enough.

Of course I love the finish on it and the drawer pulls.

Love the chippy finish.

ABC cabinet

 

This sits just as you come in the front door....oh...my that's for me!

I wish I had room for it in my house.

chipped paint and marble....is there a better combo?

 

I fell in love with this sofa the first time I saw it.

I've always been attracted to this style.

Love those arms. It's covered in a white linen. Price?

It's 50% off because they are discontinuing it.

only $500 per piece! You cannot beat that price. Oh...I wish I needed a sofa!

I do need one in the office/den but white linen is so NOT weenie friendly.

very sweet lamp

those are rusty metal flowers

another nice lamp

Apothecary Chest

How about a tall bookcase complete with library ladder?

modern-ish, recycled wood dresser

 

Nice dining room cabinet. Very interesting painted finish.

now that's a rustic!

beautiful dining table

 I'm partial to this bedroom furniture...

 Isn't this cool?

 A little industrial light.

very nice platform bed

 made of many different types of wood

 

Industrial cabinet and shelf unit

 

I love this mirror!

 This bedroom just came in!

 Very Shabby Chic!

 This piece would work as a buffet in a dining room.

 love those details

 Oh...yes I can see this in my home.

It needs different bedding of course. This bedding is all wrong for it.

So that's a little tour of the store and some of my favorite pieces currently in stock.

I'd love it if any of you dropped by and visited me.

It's at 3600 W. Reno

Oklahoma City
