What is Painted Furniture?
“Vintage painted furniture” refers to furniture items from a previous era that have been adorned with paint in a way that reflects the style and aesthetics of that particular time.
Furniture reminiscent of a French country house adds a touch of timeless character and charm to an English country cottage.
Vintage painted furnishings often carry a sense of history and character, with the paint adding a layer of uniqueness and charm. Whether it’s distressed finishes, hand-painted motifs, or specific colour palettes reminiscent of bygone eras, or adored with gold leaf or decoupage, vintage painted furniture is sought after for its nostalgic appeal and the ability to add a touch of retro or classic design to contemporary spaces.

Louise founded Rosewater & Witchazel as a vintage antiquities and home furnishings company, presenting a distinctive portfolio.
As she embarks on her journey through the enchanting landscapes of England, her heart always yearns for the comforting embrace of a steaming cup of tea, nestled delicately in her vintage teacup. With every sip, she feels a connection to the timeless traditions and quaint charm of the English countryside, a world where ancient stories whisper through the rustling leaves and ancient stone walls.
Her quest is not just for tea but also for treasures from eras past, seeking out antiquities that carry the whispers of history to adorn her shop. Each artifact she discovers holds a story of its own, a tale of romance and mystery that beckons to be shared with those who wander into her quaint haven.
What is
milk paint?
Louise has a passion for ecologically source, vintage and Nordic style décor, which she uses to create her own unique style using ‘The Sweet Pickins range of products.
Old Fashioned Milk Paint ‘Sweet Pickins is the faithful recreation of an ancient homemade paint formula, containing just milk protein (casein), lime and natural earth or mineral pigments, making it eco-friendly, non-toxic, VOC-free, food-safe & biodegradable.
The paint arrives in powder form to be mixed with water, so great as a colourwash or for stencilling.
Great paint to achieve a naturally distressed or the “chippy” effect that Louise loves.
A range of products to compliment the milk paint is available in Rosewater & Witchazel’s Etsy shop.
