improve your photography…
I’ve been planning on writing this post for a while and I kept forgetting about it in favor of sharing a furniture makeover or some progress we’re making in the studio, but I was reminded of it as I was shooting pictures of a home for Cottages & Bungalows last Thursday. I’ve had “real camera […]
walls, apron hooks & a new lens
Jeff and my dad have been working for the past week or so on the rolling walls for the studio and they are turning out so well! I wanted rolling walls for two reasons… First of all, the studio is a big, open space and I wanted to be able to divide the space and […]
say hello to "bergere"
It’s been a while since I asked you to say hello to a new milk paint color! I’m really excited to share our first Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint color from our European color line that will be launched in January 2015. We are introducing six new colors that will be carried in our European & […]
furniture feature friday | favorites & link party
My brain is totally fried tonight! I did the photo shoot today and it was intense. I know that sounds silly, but we had only a few hours to style and shoot seven rooms, which is a lot when every shot needs to be meticulously examined for a rogue accessory, a lamp cord dangling in […]

milk crate & a peek at the settee
When Kriste and I went shopping last Friday, I was looking mostly for pieces to sell at the Chapel Market, but I was also looking for one specific piece for a specific photo shoot – a milk crate. I didn’t have a particular style in mind, but I figured I would know it when I […]
industrial cart & the andrews sisters
I’ve been eyeing industrial carts for years now. They have so many things going for them! Really cool hardware, wheels, warm patina on the wood and sometimes even great stenciled graphics and typography, if you’re lucky. While I’ve always petted them in antique stores and opened the listings on Criag’s List, I’ve never felt compelled to actually […]
the victorian settee & more
Our days in the studio lately are mostly spent painting, since we’re getting ready for the Chapel Market. We crank up the music or sometimes chit-chat about life, mix up some milk paint and work on one piece after the other. We’re making good progress, but there is still a lot to do and I’m […]
