I am full of excuses tonight. I started off the day with a snuggle with my youngest…very early. Too early. Then, I worked on a photo shoot, made breakfast, packed for the day (you have to do that with little ones) and headed off to the gym for some weight lifting. Straight from the gym, I dropped off my boys for a day of swimming and playing with their babysitter and I went off to Lucketts. I fluffed my space, shopped and snapped some pictures of other rooms to share with you. I then met with Yasmin and Nadia of Wuslu.com for a yummy Italian dinner in Frederick, MD. I can’t wait to share some of the things we’re cooking up together. They are very inspiring and all around awesome ladies. So, with that full day, I didn’t get home until later in the evening, unloaded my car, spent some time with my family, got the kiddos in bed and here I am. Last excuse…my Internet is being a little sluggish right now.
Due to all of these events, I only picked one favorite.
I’ve featured Kristine from The Paint Hive before and I’m so glad to see her back at this furniture party. She shared a very creative way to get a chippy look on a painted piece of furniture. (OK…I’ll admit it was the fan that caught my eye, but I thought this technique was worth sharing! You girls know me so well.)
I hope to be more attentive this week!

OOPS! I got overzealous with my linky partying and I didn't realize this was only for furniture! So sorry. Please feel free to remove my post!

I really have enjoyed your blog Marion! I'm a pretty new follower and have been looking back at your tutorials and have been inspired to just "kick it" up a notch in lots of areas of life. I appreciate all your tips…especially with chalk paint! I ready to see you paint some items in the reds/pinks! If anyone can do it, you can!
Happy Friday! I have so much furniture to finish…so I started small…! Have a great weekend.
Love the fan too! 🙂
Hello Miss Mustard Seed….I have a question…I have seen your little shed where you sell your interesting things….I have one on my property and I want to fix it up…can you give me some suggestions at http://www.cabinfever228.blogspot.com? Mel's Designs from the Cabin….Mel
Hi Marian,
Arriving a little late to the party!! Friday Night Traffic was terrible!! Thank you for hosting, it truly is the best furniture party going…
All the Best,
Christine
How beautiful! I love visiting home decor blog sites for inspiration.
You saved my day from complete ruin! Today is now a good day and all is not lost. I am so happy to find you. I came to your blog at my friends suggestion, to be exact she said "WHAT! YOU don't know Ms Mustardseed!!!" I feel like I have found a kindred spirit, and I will look forward to your blog now, every day. We are nearly neighbors too! My Old Country House is down the street from the Greenwood Country store!!!
Does it close tonight at midnight or it's already closed?
