Today is the day!  We are very excited to announce the winner of our MMS Milk Paint "New Colours" contest.

On August 7th, we asked you to comment here on our blog or on Facebook telling us the names of the newest colours created by Miss Mustard Seed, and then send us your name + contact info.  We're happy to say that everyone who entered got the colours right!

Here they are!

A Twist on our Colour of the Month: Baby Bluesfest!

Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the arrival of their son!

To welcome the heir apparent, instead of our usual "Colour of the Month" deal, we are celebrating by offering up best pricing on a new blue every week.

First up:  

Louis Blue

NOW just $45!

Order online and pay just $10 flat rate shipping no matter how much you buy!

While there is much debate about King Louis of France ever having been crowned in England, we love this colour and it is one of the most popular in the Annie Sloan pallet of Chalk Paint™  decorative paints.

Whether put to use to achieve that fresh and breezy look in any area of your home or to enhance the decor in your little boy's room, this lovely pastel blue is always a hit.

Annie Sloan describes this colour as "a pretty pastel blue that works particularly well when waxed with a dark brown."

Here is a little 'Louis Blue' inspiration to spark your creativity:

Pompadour
Add 3 parts of Old White to 1 part of Louis Blue to make a graceful grey blue that makes me think of the beautiful and refined favourite of Louis XV so Annie Sloan called it POMPADOUR

Sophia
Add 8 parts of Old White to 1 part of Louis Blue makes a very soft grey Swedish blue that Annie Sloan has called SOPHIA after King Gustav's daughter.
