Chartreuse (and our space there) is getting all decked out for the holidays. Lynette and I spent the afternoon primping our booth and donning it with holiday decor. In addition to furniture and non-holiday accessories, the place is filling up with greenery, lights, ornaments, and trees. Sniff. Yes, I even managed to bring my French settee to the booth. And I … Read More

Oil & Vinegar – Not Just For Salads
A few weeks ago, I found a wonderful tip about using oil and vinegar to revive and clean old wood. This is one of those tips that sound really cool, but I was pretty skeptical. It may be the kind of thing that makes a piece look good long enough to snap a picture and then, when it dries, it … Read More
Ask Miss Mustard Seed – Decorating a Small Space
“How do you paint/decorate to open up a small room? All of our bedrooms are very tiny (10×12 or smaller) and so it just feels very smushed.
