French Style & a fabric wall
I received an e-mail a few months ago, asking if I would contribute to a new magazine, French Style. Well, that sounds right up my alley! Yesterday, I found the magazine in Target and snapped it up. First of all, it really is a beautiful magazine. I loved looking through it and I felt so […]
Announcing – MMS German Glass Glitter
Today, I want to share some super exciting news! Some of you may have guessed this was coming some day, but it’s finally here. I am so proud to announce the launch of Miss Mustard Seed’s German Glass Glitter by Meyer Imports! I’ve been selling it for a while, but I’ve been bottling it myself, so I’ve only […]
the hand-painted German-style bed
I never really showed off the finished hand-painted German-style bed for the guest room, so I thought it was high time. To recap, this is the German-style hand-painted bed I used as inspiration. I found it in a magazine about ten years ago and always loved it. I knew the chances of finding a bed […]
FURNITURE FEATURE FRIDAY | favorites & link party
Good evening everyone! We’re finally back for a normal FFF. Between Lucketts and then recovering from Lucketts, I haven’t had the chance to pick favorites in a while, so here we go… My first favorite is by Danielle of Finding Silver Pennies. Come on…a blue dresser with white detail, pretty knobs and a wood top? […]

I had wanted to for a while, but the idea of actually making eight drapery panels (the proper way…lined and hemmed) was overwhelming and prevented me from actually doing anything. Enter a timely e-mail from Barn & Willow. […]
What I kept…
I spent most of the day digging through my Lucketts – leftover pile. I didn’t have a lot, but we just dumped it all at the basement steps after the event and I really needed to go through it. Most of the items will go in the online shop, but I do always set a few […]
my house hunt sound track
A lot of you have asked about how the sale of our house is going as well as the house hunt. I haven’t been ignoring those questions, but I’ve just been busy talking about Lucketts stuff and furniture makeovers. It felt like too big of an answer to squish in at the bottom of another […]
the unpainted desk & hemp chair
Despite what some may think, I don’t paint everything. Most of the furniture pieces I buy are in need of some help. They’re tired, worn, spotted with water rings, sporting chipped & bubbled veneer and have seen better days. Because of that, I don’t feel the slightest hesitation about painting them. Some pieces, though, are just […]
