I have hit a wall in the office. If you follow me I have hit a wall in the office. If you follow me in stories, you know I've been working on installing paneling in my office It's looking so good, but now I'm second-guessing myself. Should I paint the paneling a color to make it a little more interesting against the cream slipcover and large white shelf? Should I keep it white to blend with the trim and shutters and keep the room quiet? Should I hang some simple blue and white paper above the paneling to fill in the dead space above the windows?! And the questions and uncertainty go on. So, I'm taking a step back to clean, tidy, or some paint samples, think, and work on other projects until I have a bit more clarity. I just thought I would share, so you know that I get stuck, too. I suffer from decision fatigue, too. And I get paralyzed at the thought of making the "wrong move" sometimes, too. Feel free to share any suggestions in the comments and you can see more of the room and the options I'm considering in today's stories.

On the blog today, I'm sharing some of my latest a On the blog today, I'm sharing some of my latest antique finds. One of my favorite treasures from the day of shopping was this antique basket made to hang on a clothesline to hold your pins. It is in perfect condition and I have never seen anything like it! Have you ever seen one? I wish I had a clothesline just to hang it up and use it now and then. For now, it's on my kitcen counter holding some crochet dishcloths and linen napkins. Have you been antiquing lately? It's a tough time to do outings just for fun, but you just need to sometimes. #antiques #antiquehaul #favoritethings #favoritefinds #missmustardseed #inspiration #marble #subwaytile #kitchendecor #vintagestyle #farmhousestyle
#challengeaccepted⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Than #challengeaccepted⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you to the ladies who DM'd me to express their admiration and respect and invite me into this challenge - @pishaunna @amycrewsartist @theinspiredtourist @ourcraftsmancottage to name a few. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Instagram can be a two-edged sword. Sometimes it's a time-suck, an easy way to compare and berate. It can be a place of negativity, criticism, unfair judgments, and unrealistic expectations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But it can also be a beautiful, uplifting, and supportive community. It can be a place of inspiration, encouragement, learning, and growth. It's a place to share and connect with people who love the things we love. It's a place to find common ground. I have met so many wonderful people on this app; people who have empowered and supported me and cheered me along. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It is my hope that my social media accounts and blog will be that for you and all of my followers - a place of empowerment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #WomenEmpoweringWomen #inspiration #encouragement #portrait #missmustardseed #magnoliapearl #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhiteportrait #tabbycat
One of the things I love about having my mom visit One of the things I love about having my mom visit is she is a great second set of eyes when it comes to decorating and rearranging things. While we have different styles, she brings some new ideas and a fresh perspective. She confirms choices I make or questions them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I often think of decorating as a solo activity. It's highly individual and personal, but bringing in another opinion can make the design stronger and the process even more fun. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who is your second set of eyes? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #decorating #ironstonecollection #whiteironstone #antiques #missmustardseed #inspiration #homedecor #interiors #originaloilpainting #cowpainting #shelfie #styling #shelfstyling #butlerspantry
#ad Whenever we're making an upgrade to our home, #ad Whenever we're making an upgrade to our home, whether it's a big project or a small tweak, I expect to enjoy the change.  We're customizing the house to suit our needs and tastes, so that expectation is reasonable.  But I love it when I am pleasantly surprised beyond those expectations. Such is the case with this Delta® Dunsley® Kitchen Faucet with VoiceIQ™ and Touch2O® Technology by @DeltaFaucet.  An upgrade to improve functionality and look has set a whole new standard for faucets in hard-working spaces like the kitchen and laundry room.  (Watch the video to see it in action!)  More details are in my blog post today.  Link in profile.  #deltafaucet #touch2o #voiceiq #kitchendecor #homeimprovement #homeupgrades #kitchenfaucet #faucetreview
Today is the three year anniversary of moving into Today is the three year anniversary of moving into our house in Minnesota!  Can you believe it’s been that long?? While I was hoping we would purchase an old house, this new-is suburban house had great bones and I have loved the process of customizing it to suit my style.  Scroll through to see before and afters of a few spaces.  It’s hard for me to pick a favorite.  What’s your favorite room makeover so far?  #minnesota #rochester #mmshome #missmustardseed #inspiration #decorating #roommakeovers #makeover #beforeandafter #kitchen #paintedcabinets #mycountryhome #countrystyle #traditionalstyle #ironstone #greenandwhite #blueandwhitepottery
The linen slipcover for the chaise in our master b The linen slipcover for the chaise in our master bedroom is finished and I'm sharing all of the details on the blog today. I include links to tutorials if you have a similar project and sources for the inexpensive linen I used. While I liked the ticking, the linen cover works much better in this room and I'm happy I took the time to make that change. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mmshome #missmustardseed #inspiration #decor #decorating #bedroomdecorating #frechcountrystyle #antiques #blueandwhite #mycountryhome #bespokehome #roommakeover #slipcover #tutorial #linen
Today on the blog, I'm exploring the question, "Ca Today on the blog, I'm exploring the question, "Can I pull it off?" I find that I ask myself this regularly when it comes to wearing things I really like, but might not be trendy or mainstream. As a "theater person" I've always been a little eccentric when it comes to clothes, but I find that I'm not as confident as I used to be when it comes to dressing off the beaten path. But, a pair of adorable shoes that look like antique baby shoes for adults made me rethink my self-consciousness. You can see those shoes along with other things I tried on from my latest @magnoliapearl pick box in my post today (link in profile). I'm sharing some on my stories today as well. PS - Esmé is the model in the family. #magnoliapearl #portrait #missmustardseed #artstudio #creativity #style #mmsstudio #inspiration #encouragement #tabbycat
