Market Lemon Sign

There’s nothing more refreshing than lemons, is there? From their bright citrus scent, to their sparkling taste in lemonade, these little bits of sunshine make you smile instantly.

Did you know you can also use lemons to refresh your home decor? Better yet, did you know that lemons and Miss Mustard Seed’s MilkPaint™ are a perfect duo?

True story.

We used some lemon transfers from IOD along with an old cabinet door and some good ‘ol MilkPaint™ to create a fresh new sign for our wall decor!
