Back in the winter, I filmed a video tutorial on how to use Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint to create different looks on turned wooden pillar candle holders. After my labors, I went to upload it to my YouTube channel, but I had a lot of issues and it wouldn't process. In the video...
Addicted to Sewing Tables
Hello everyone. My name is Jenn Baker and I have a love affair with sewing tables. I don't remember when it started exactly. But I think I can safely say that I'm addicted to finding sewing tables..... and turning them into jewelry storage pieces. It's been a few months since my last project...
Spinet Desk
Have you ever heard of a spinet desk? If you're shaking your head "no", then you and I are in good company! Before I found my latest project, I hadn't heard of one either. I popped into Homestead Studios one day, and saw the prettiest little desk. It had cubbies, turned...
Something For Me
In the course of doing commissioned pieces, I sometimes find myself needing to do a small side project to keep my creative juices flowing - a project that's a little something for me where I can be creative and not follow an exact plan. That's precisely the purpose of this little...
After the Market
While the house is quiet, I thought I would gather my thoughts while they're fresh and talk to all of you about how the Spring Barn Market went yesterday! I had such a great day and there's so much to share. I also want to let you know what's left over, so let's do this! Faith &...
Mustard Seed Yellow Empire Dresser
Did you know that Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint features two gorgeous colors every month? April's featured colors are Mustard Seed Yellow and Lucketts Green. To celebrate these gorgeous colors, I decided to paint an empire dresser that recently came into my possession in Mustard...
Primitive Scrub Top Table
This scrub top table has had my eye since the day I saw it. Much like the four drawer counter that I picked up a few weeks ago. It went on sale and I sprung for it. This piece is truly a gorgeous primitive antique. It's one of those pieces that you definitely don't paint. ...
Typewriter Table
It's really nice to have a simple furniture makeover every now and then. Some pieces require so much work and TLC that an easy piece is a total breath of fresh air. It was time for me to whip out an easy project with the help of my Mom, so let me present my latest piece. This sweet...
Typewriter Sheet Music Dresser
This makeover reveal has been on hold for about two weeks because I can't count. Seriously, no joke! It all started when I got a text from a friend of Mom Baker. She lives in a development just down the road from me, and she has sold me amazing pieces in the past. This time, it...
French Provincial Buffet
This furniture makeover actually isn't a new one. I finished this piece a while ago, but I never gave it a proper photo shoot, so I figured it was long overdue! Back in October, I picked up two French provincial dressers from my local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. (I told you this...
Aviary Nightstands
It's been some time since I took photos of a furniture makeover from start to finish, including everything in between. When it's time to work on a piece, I get so darn excited that I go into makeover mode and taking photos to document the process becomes an afterthought. The process is...
Round Oak Table
I've been working on an old round oak table with a pedestal bottom and a set of four chairs for a while now, and I'm happy to report that the set is finally finished! That makes two antique oak tables that I've refinished this year. The second one was done earlier and is currently available...
Card Catalog Workshop
This past weekend, I hosted a Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint Workshop at Morgantown Market. Five participants signed up and we had a blast turning these into gorgeous card catalogs. The group was such a hard working bunch. They got to work right away, mixing up Curio...
Farmhouse White Side Table
This small side table is one that I bought with the intention of painting it for the Twin Valley Food Pantry Fundraiser back in February. It's a great little size and it had the sweetest shape! Time didn't allow me to finish it for that event, so it's coming with me on April 24th to...
Amandaa’s Jacobean Buffet
During my last live demonstration at Morgantown Market, I met up with a super sweet customer named Amandaa. She was on the hunt for a large storage piece in her home, and I had a perfect option in mind. After the demonstration came to a good stopping point, we snuck away and I...
MMS Milk Painted Window Workshop
On Saturday, five lovely women joined me at Morgantown Market and created beautiful MMS Milk Painted windows for their homes. We began the workshop by "shopping" for Milk Paint and talking about the look each woman wanted to achieve on her window. Everyone chose a...
Ooh Look…Furniture
I once saw a meme on Instagram that totally cracked me up. Dory from Finding Nemo was saying she had to cut back on buying so much furniture and then she sees a piece she likes and says "Ooh, look! Furniture!" That's basically what happens to me every time I walk into Morgantown...
Fundraiser Set Up
Well, I'm all set up and ready to go here at Conestoga Mennonite Church for theFood for Families Fundraiser! I thought I would take some time while it's quiet to give you a virtual tour of my space. Come take a "walk" with me, won't you? See my Momma in the photo? She's...
Vanity Nightstand
I think I've been in bed by 8:30 every night this weekend so far! Friday was spent painting in the workshop and getting more pieces finished for the Food for Families Fundraiser next weekend. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of working with two lovely ladies during my Paint Your Own...
A Classic Dresser
The time has come to start sharing some of the beautiful pieces that I'll be bringing with me to the Food for Families Fundraiser in February. (Wow! That's a lot of words starting with "F", isn't it?) If you missed my announcement, you can read all about it here, but...
