painting brick
So, there’s something I’ve been thinking about doing for a few years. Can you guess what it is? If you know me at all AND you noticed the title of this post, I’m sure you guessed it. I want to paint the brick on our house. Don’t get me wrong, I am a lover of […]
how I hand painted the Mora dresser
I shared this hand painted dresser last week and, as promised, I’m now sharing more detail on the hand painted design. First of all, I’m always asked if my hand painted designs are stencils. No, they are hand painted. I know that will immediately lose some folks when I say that, because a lot of […]
the first workshop
We opened the doors for our very first workshop in the Mustard Seed Studio on Friday. It was so much fun getting ready for it and a great incentive to get things in the studio finished. My goal for these workshops is to educate, but also to share this amazing creative space with others and […]

painted oak hutch
Over the past few days work days, I’ve been getting the studio ready for our first workshops (happening later this week.) It’s been good to have an imposed deadline to get things spruced up. Otherwise, I just work on whatever I’m most interested in and leave other things hanging. Kriste is always a huge help, but […]
say hello to “schloss” | sofa makeover
This really could be two posts, but I decided to fit it all into one. The truth is, after a week of hard work, I have a lot of things to share and I’m getting antsy to get them posted! First of all, here is another one of our new European colours in the MMS […]
