Hi! Did you see our segment on CTV Morning today? Thank you if you did, it’s pretty nerve wrecking doing DIY on LIVE tv. EEK

Wow live tv is FAST, 3 mins go like THAT! Phew.

Heidi rocked the milk paint – wow – super awesome painter, and the crew at CTV Morning are amazing. Thanks guys! We had so much fun (and sorry about spilling milk paint all over the floor of the studio…oopsie) Thanks to Mr. FPM for being the clean up crew this morning.

I accidentally spilled milk paint all over the cdv live studio floors...it's a thing oopsie

I mentioned a give away ….read to the end for your chance to WIN a little paint package from us!

If you didn’t see the segment, here is the clip for you to watch, no laughing!

Thank you and welcome if it’s your first time here. We’re pretty passionate about paint, diy and inspiring others to do so as well. We hope you will poke around the site and check out some of our DIY’s and get a little inspired.

As promised on air, I wanted to share a little about our upcoming retreat at White Point Feb 3rd to 5th. You can find all the information HERE and remember we only have a few spaces left, so act fast.

Beautiful White Point Beach Resort will be our home base all weekend while we DIY by the Sea

Our store is located at 1177 Hillsborough Road in Lower Coverdale (moving soon Mar 1 to downtown Moncton) and we have a satellite location at Mom’s Buy and Sell in Lunenburg where we sell painted furniture, FAT Paint chalk style paint and MMS Milk Paint.

Our Moncton location is moving soon…just FYI

Front Porch Mercantile is MOVING woo hoo

Always start painting your furniture pieces upside down

Our paints are all Made in Canada, safe and easy to use. You can find more information here.

We also LOVE to teach workshops. You can find our upcoming workshops HERE (we have a totally fun time)

Looking for your local FAT Paint retailer? We have several in Atlantic Canada and across North America. You can check here for your local FAT Paint Retailer, HERE for your local FUSION Mineral Paint Retailers and HERE for your local Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint

Milk Paint Basics - come paint with me

Looking for a little more HOW TO on the projects we did on air?

You can see how to stencil a pillow HERE

stencilling pillows with FAT Paint at Front Porch Mercantile

I don’t have a post or how to on the pallet sign. I will try to get one done soon.

It was an easy peasy project. We put a pallet together with leftover wood, you could use any board you have. Mix Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint (info here) in the colour Eulalie’s Sky, use a stencil, write a word or glue a wooden word (available at our Lower Coverdale shop), we like to use Wellbond to glue the word on. You can finish your painted piece with MMS Hemp Oil or our MMS Furniture Wax but you don’t have to. Step back and enjoy.

Our pallet sign was WELCOME, but it was like this. (Will post actual picture after show)

These are sneak peek at just 2 of the 8 projects we will be doing at White Point during our DIY by the SEA Feb 3rd to 5th. Hope you can join us. Thanks for all your graciousness about this tv segment. It was an honour to be asked, buoyed by all your good wishes and cheers of support.

Now for the FUN part – we are giving away a sample box with a pint of Fusion Mineral Paint, a quart of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint and a pint of FAT Paint, some how to guides and a few other tid bits.

**Contest Closed**

Winner was E Doucette from Tracadie, who promised to share her creations with me..stay tuned and thank you all for the overwhelming support.

If you are new here, thanks for popping in. We really love that you are here.

Cheers,

Wendy

That Time I Went To Miss Mustard Seed’s Studio and Didn’t Take Pictures

True story. I was at Miss Mustard Seed’s beautiful studio, spent 3 days with her and only snapped a few pictures. Not even good ones. Seriously. No Facebook Live post. No interview with her. No lovely shots. Nope. I had all that planned. But…I don’t know. We started painting and chatting and that was that….

  45. I watched your info on CTV Morning Live with great interest & was so happy to FINALLY learn a local place to buy milk paint!!!! I’ve tried making my own but wasn’t really happy with it. I’m working on a few (!) projects right now & am planning a couple more……love to repurpose stuff others see as “junk”. Definitely will check out your shop the next time I’m in NB. In the meantime I’d love to try out that lovely idea basket!!!!!
