    Love the green secretary…I found Kristen’s work through a blog post recently. I am in the process of painting a curio/china cabinet green with a soft pink interior for displaying my collection of pink depression glass. Her work has inspired me to continue with getting it finished.

    I shared this post to “Pinterest” so others can find her inspiring work.

    Her work is beautifully done. Such a professional finish to her work. I shared on Pinterest. I see I need that round brush,!

  • Lane Ball
    Posted at 16:51h, 06 July

    Kristen’s response to your questions:

    When milk paint is applied to wood that has already been sealed or painted there is a possibility that the paint will chip or flake off creating a chippy distressed look. If you don’t want that finish, we recommend using Shackteau Interiors Extra Bond as a bonding agent so that the paint will adhere to any surface.

  • Bernadette Leahy
    Posted at 16:05h, 06 July

    Kristen is so talented and creative. Not only does she refinish beautiful pieces but her pulls and knobs put every piece over the top. She has some cool home decor items for sale too, so check out her site. I’m looking forward to taking one of her painting classes soon since I have a basement full of items in “intend” to paint, but need some guidance and confidence to make it happen.

  • Wendy Jamieson
    Posted at 15:03h, 06 July

    I am a faithful follower of Kristen and recently ordered some of the milk paint she uses on her pieces.

    Not only do I love her painting style and the vignettes she creates but enjoy her bubbly personality.

    I have shared the post on my Home Inspired Facebook Page.

    I love that when I’m painting a piece my mind is no longing speeding at 100 miles an hour in the fastest gear and seeing a million signs & billboards along the way. I am in one gear, neutral, I only see what is before me, the beauty I am creating, I am one with my paint & brush. Total relaxation and creativity has taken over and I am in love with this quiet, creative time.

    I would like to see a picture that shows what you mean by “chippy surprise if you don’t use a bonding agent.”

    Also, by bonding agent, do you mean something like Kilz?
