The fastest, easiest, and smoothest method of sealing mineral paint: H**P OIL! The best part- h**p is a sustainable crop, it’s vegan (unlike beeswax), and it doesn’t seal in anything but the paint, so its always a lint and dust free finish in 2 minutes. Here’s how to use it:
- You don’t have to buy furniture h**p oil, though it may have additives that help with durability. Painters with product lines don’t wanna tell you this, but you can also just use h**p oil from the grocery store, just try make sure it’s cold pressed
- take a sponge or lint free rag, rub the oil all over the piece
-grab a clean sponge or lint free rag and wipe away the excess in straight lines following the shape of the piece.
- during the 30 day curing process, take a clean sponge or lint free rag and wipe up excess oil one or two times a week. The paint will use the oil it needs and give up the rest.

This is one of the best sealants for dark colors. We will be doing a durability test soon so stay tuned to see how h**p oil holds up on high traffic pieces 💪

Another curb find! As always, discounted for followers :) click the product tag and message me!

Hand painted furniture can give you a smooth finish. It's all about prep. A good clean and a light sanding before your first coat along with light sanding in between coats will give you the best results.

Pro tip: use wood oils for sealing if you have a hard time blending wax. It takes longer to dry, but it can be just as durable and affordable!

Warm colors are back in 2021! Coronavirus has altered every aspect of life, including design trends. Our all-white-everything homes are being altered to add warmth, individuality, and most importantly, color! If you have felt this shift in your own style, you are not alone. 

In the past, when coming home from a busy and chaotic outside world, all white meant peace- a blank slate, an empty mind, a reset. Now that most of us are spending more time than ever at home, our all white kitchens and bedrooms are starting to bore us. Neutrals are timeless and beautiful, and we still LOVE a white room....but let’s add some warmth! 🌾🍯🥃

2021 is bringing us new paint color lines by top paint companies, under the guidance of interior design experts. keep a lookout for these colors in this new year, and add a refurbished piece to your home. (We are loving the fact that shopping secondhand is trendy rn too!!!!)

As always, refurbish, reduce, recycle. F*ck landfills♻️
