Marian aka “Miss Mustard Seed” created Miss Mustard Seed’s® Milk Paint in 2012.

What started out as a small idea, exploded into a full line of products carried by over 200 retailers in the US, Canada, Europe, UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Milk Paint is an ancient paint containing just five simple ingredients – milk protein (casein), limestone, clay, chalk and natural & non-toxic synthetic pigments. When absorbed into the surface, Milk Paint will never chip or peel when applied to a raw wood surface. It is suitable for both interior and exterior applications and is naturally mould resistant. Milk paint provides a completely breathable coating and is ideal for painting wood, plaster, drywall and a variety of other surfaces. It is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and contains no VOCs.

The story

Packing up everything and moving abroad is a daunting, but eye-opening experience. And that’s how it all began. Goedele’s move to Dalarna, Sweden in 2016 opened her eyes to a new creative world: folkloric drawings, the patterned wallpaper in old abandoned countryside homes, the wild flowers around Midsummer, the seasons and wildlife. A whole new world that inspired her to design her stencil collection.

Master Craftmanship – Dutch History

The paintbrush is a traditional piece of equipment which it is assumed to be best manufactured using natural bristle. It still remains part of the standard tools of a painter. However for years manufacturers have been trying to develop a good alternative to bristle paint brushes – a universal brush that can handle both synthetic and water-based paints, whilst maintaining consistent brush quality. With the Staalmeester ® synthetic brushes, the solution is now available. The right combination of ingredients used in these synthetic paint brushes perfectly well meet requirements for correct processing of the new low “VOC” (Volatile Organic Compounds) paints. The difference from the natural bristle brushes is the consistent quality of the special thin synthetic filaments. The combination of the right bristle filling will result in a stripe less finish. with the less fluid VOC paint.
