Kriste's new cabinet
I did my first photo shoot today in my new studio. To say it was exciting would be an understatement. Every time I enter the space, I smile and feel lifted and occasionally want to clap my hands like a toddler who just learned a new word or basic life skill. It’s exciting at that […]
french ironstone compote
I had my second full day in the studio and it was awesome. I am loving getting up in the morning and heading out of the house to a place of business. I’m still a little scattered, because there are so many things I want and need to do and I don’t know where to […]
moving into the studio part 2
I don’t mess around when it comes to moving into a new space. I want to get unpacked and settled as soon as humanly possible. I think it’s my military brat upbringing. Moving was just a part of life and something I anticipated. Maybe that’s why I like change so much? Anyway, I’m good at […]
moving into the studio
When I say that the business was taking over our house, I wasn’t exaggerating. We moved three 14′ truckloads of furniture, tools, packing materials and stuff over to the studio today.

the mustard seed studio
I signed the lease and got the keys for my very own studio yesterday. I’ve been talking and dreaming about one for at least two years. My business has always been spread throughout our house, wherever it will fit. It’s in the upstairs hall closet, the downstairs office, the entire basement, a corner of the […]
furniture feature friday | favorites & link party
My mom and I went out shopping today, but I have to say I was pretty blurry-eyed after shopping all day yesterday with Kriste. You would think that shopping for antiques would be something I wouldn’t grow weary of, but I’ve learned that I need it in doses or everything starts to blend into the […]
crusty counter & other finds
I went shopping with Kriste today and I kept pausing to declare how excited I am about the new studio space. I got a call while we were shopping, letting me know that I can sign the lease on Friday and move in. I feel like I’ve been let out of a box, but even […]
