1. I think your actually looks better than PB’s and the price definitely looks better! Great job.
   Your master bedroom is looking great and I am so excited to see how the counter top turns out.

2. So, it looks to me like your crown molding covers the upper edge of the fabric you have applied to your wall. Am I seeing this correctly? What it sometime later you want to remove the fabric….will the molding have to be loosened to get it free? Marie

3. Your shams are AMAZING. and I can not wait for the how to! Seriously, they are so spot on and perfect!!!!

4. Wow! Those are gorgeous! Love the ceiling too… great job!

5. I could have sworn you said you were’t that great a seamstress! Those look fabulous…the gathering is beautiful and such nice, straight stitching. Lovely for sure and what a great idea too:-)

6. I splurged on that PB duvet and shams…it makes a stunning bed! Sooo romantic! Your price is so much better. Can’t wait to see details!

   1. I did too after ogling it for a year and a half. I was terribly afraid I would regret the purchase. As it turns out I love it! Even my husband likes it, despite all its white fluffiness. But these shams are way adorable and cheap. Oh well.

7. Loving those shams, I think I need to make some!

8. I think I like your shams a lot better!

9. LOVE your shams, PB needs to hire you for fine tuning…you have the gift!

10. Marion – what perfect timing! I was just looking at these pillows today on Pottery Barn and could not believe the price. I am looking forward to seeing the tutorial so I can make them. can’t wait to see them!

11. Love the shams, makes me want to sew better!!

12. Love them both…great job!

14. I’m really looking forward to your pillow tutorial! They are beautiful!

15. Wow, both projects look great! I like your version of the pillows even more than the PB version.

16. Pretty cushions!

17. Dear MMS, Your shams are fantastic! The bedroom is looking marvelous. I’m looking forward to seeing you on Saturday in Atlanta. You’ll be surrounded by adoring fans, lol. See you then & hugs, Anne Boykin

18. I have a question how do you find the tutorials you have already done on HGTV?

19. They look great! I like the ones you made even better than ones from Pottery Barn. Can’t wait to see your new counter tops.

20. Those shams are dreamy! Can’t wait til the tutorial is available.

21. The shams are beautiful and what a price difference..Have fun with the tile work..Oh and your crown molding just finishes off the room..You do have an eye for the details..

22. Cannot wait for all the tutorials to come out. It all looks lovely!

23. Love the shams — better than PB! Where can I find you on HGTV.com. What do I need to search? Thanks!

24. I love those shams too. Was thinking of ordering them until I saw yours. Now I’m inspired to make them. And, if I make them, I can vary the size.

25. OMG, gush Marian. The pillows look amazing. I actually have the PB ones, and id get your version in a minute! this is perfect cause PB only sells them in the standard size and we have a ridiculously large bed. I can’t wait for your tutorial so I can make some to compliment the PB ones.

    I am also going to put up crown moulding and bought the tool that kreg jigg sells. i am curious to see how you did yours.

    I can’t wait for all your tutorials. God bless 🙂

26. Just so beautiful Marian! I am looking forward to your tutorial!

27. They look so good, so comfy. I love them!

28. The shams are amazing. Seriously. I don’t know that it would have occurred to me to tackle deconstructing those, so snaps to you! And I can’t wait to read your crown molding tutorial. i totally have molding burning a hole in my back pocket. Can’t wait!!!

29. You continually surpass my daily
    growing expectations of your creative
    mind and stunning results. Lovely,
    perfection, sweet, unique, @ finished
    with polish! God bless you, MMS!! & your
    darling ‘man collection.’

30. Thank you for being so incredibly inspiring! I love your book too!

31. I agree. Your’s look even better than the PB version! Molding looks great! Bet you’re happy to have the walls/ceiling finished!

32. Pottery barn look out…Miss Mustard Seed has figured you out! YOU GO GIRL!

33. love the ceiling crown molding & wall! So striking!
    and those pillows …can’t wait for the tutorial!

34. I can’t wait for the tutorial! You are certainly making my crafting/sewing to do list longer and longer. That’s a good thing!!!

35. Love the ruched shams. Can’t wait to see the tutorial. Add to my project listing. That is ok. Your bedroom is lovely….

36. I love those pillow shams!! Can’t wait for the tutorial. The crown molding looks beautiful, finishes off the bedroom perfectly.
    Debbie 🙂

37. Drooool! I can’t wait for these new tutorials! The fabric wall and those shams are something I’d love to make for my own home.

38. Love the pillows. Can’t wait for the tutorial. Please let us know when it is available.

39. Both projects look great!

    I love your price tag for the shams, but unfortunately, I and the sewing machine don’t get along too well. I can only do no-sew projects and those that require simple hand stitching.

40. I like your pillows even better than Pottery Barn! Beautiful!

41. I never ceases to amaze me at the cost of buying vs DIY. That’s why so many people are doing it themselves and blogs like yours are so popular. You are a true leader. The shams are just too sweet!

42. These pillows look fabulous! If you had not told me you made them I would have thought they came from a high end store! Thank you for showing us we can make our own beautiful projects. And the price difference is incredible! Looking forward to the tutorial! Time to get my sewing machine out of the closet! 🙂

43. My daughter has had her eye on the PB bedding for her bedroom remodel. Adding up the cost for the full size PB bedding was a bit overwhelming especially since we need to purchase a dresser, chair, and curtains. I do hope the matching duvet cover will be in the tutorial as well.
    Can’t wait!
    Thanks for sharing 🙂

44. Love the pillow shams! What a great idea.

45. Love – Love- Love

46. I have been wanting those particular shams at Pottery Barn for quite a while now! And I can’t wait for your tutorial! Thanks MMS!

47. Your shams turned out gorgeous!! Cannot wait to see how you made them in your tutorial 🙂

48. Marion,
    I like your shams better… and wow $5 bucks each!! I may have to get over my aversion to sewing when your tutorial is available… I NEED these!!

49. Lovely pillows–look much better than PB’s! Crown molding is like adding a set of pearls–any room will look elegant when the crown is added 🙂

50. I look forward to learning how to make some for my bed. I like the way they look.

51. I have ruched shams in my master and LOVE them. I found them at home goods years ago. I only bought 2 but could really use a 3rd so I’m looking forward to your tutorial.

    Thanks!!!

52. OK so the crown looks awesome so r u going to do a tutorial on that too? i have been wanting to do that for quite sometime and need good help..later sue

    It adds a certain elegance.

59. I love that look!! It creates just the right amount of texture and a romantic feeling without be frufoo. 🙂

60. Love the pillows and your whole house. You are quite an inspiration. Going to one of your TX dealers tomorrow to check out MMS paint

61. I’m so excited for this tutorial !!! I like your version even better than the original

62. Those shams are lovely and you did an amazing job of designing and sewing, looking forward to the tutorial 🙂

63. Love the look of the fabric topped with the crown molding and plank ceiling. I just finished making a “china wall” with blue and white Italian Blue Spode mounted against an 84″ x 56″ framed square of Napoleonic Blue chalk paint (will be posted on my blog in a day or two). There is just something surprising and breathtaking about blue and white! Keep up the beautiful work.

64. Marian…you nailed those shams!!!…they are gorgeous…and love the molding…you can never have enough molding!!…Beautiful jobs!!….Have a wonderful weekend!

65. Just like that!? You came up with those pillow shams!? You are so totally multitalented! The crown moulding is such a beautiful finishing touch too. Wow… your house is really coming along… must be so fun

73. I can’t tell seem to find your tutorials at hgtv.com. I really want to see how you made the bolster pillow in your master bedroom.

74. I’ll definitely be making a few of these for our bedroom makeover. I saw these awhile back and thought how I wish they came in more colors…now I can just make my own! I’ve been looking for the tutorial on HGTV since you posted this, can you please provide the link when it’s live.

    I’ve been wanting to treat myself to your book for awhile and was able to scoop it up at Lifeway with a 30% coupon!

75. Love the shams. I hope you post a link for the tutorial.

76. Are the tutorials available yet? *I hope. I hope*!!
    They look fantastic. Can you also let us know the type of fabric that was used so that a fairly good version is possible?
    Thanks! Love MMS!!

77. Have been searching the HGTV website for this tutorial. Anxiously waiting! They are so beautiful!
