Let’s chat about April’s MMSMP Color of the Month. It’s our dusty purple, Dried Lavender! 

This soothing purple reminds us of aromatic lavender buds and the mist around the Smoky Mountains at twilight. Dried Lavender is a wonderfully complex color that can appear more blue or gray, depending on its surroundings. It's a calming addition to our pastoral-themed Farmhouse Collection.

Dried Lavender is available in our new 100% natural, eco-friendly formula.

So how do you finish your painted pieces? Dried Lavender changes colors from raw (no finish) to applying finishes. To see how this purple changes with each finish, take a peek at this photo:

Dried Lavender and the Farmhouse Collection

Dried Lavender is a part of the Farmhouse Color Collection. It pairs well with the collection's colors, Lucketts Green, French Enamel, Ironstone, Farmhouse White, and Grain Sack.

Now let’s look at a few pieces painted in Dried Lavender!

Soft Touch of Color

Did you know that Dried Lavender was a discontinued color in our line? We love this color so much and decided to bring it back. Lost and Found Decor created this lovely desk when Dried Lavender was originally out. It is the perfect soft color for any space.

Fab Rehab Creations created these nightstands from a desk and refinished them with Dried Lavender and  Antiquing Wax. 

Katie of For the Love Creations painted this vintage chair with two coats of Dried Lavender, distressed it, then sealed it with MilkWax™ Clear. Katie added MilkWax™-ECO in Onyx to highlight the details.

Perfect for Spring Crafts

Dried Lavender is the perfect addition to spring crafts from hand-painted Easter eggs to DIY spring wreaths. It looks great paired with Arabesque, Aqua Sky, Sunkissed, and Lucketts Green for a beautiful spring color palette.
