the fabric & Lucketts furniture
Do you remember when I wrote about my guest room a few weeks ago? I showed a scrap of fabric that I’ve been holding in my stash for about 12 years. I love this fabric and it was, unfortunately, discontinued. I held onto my one yard remnant, feeling it was too precious to even use. […]
Antique Farm House Giveaway
I don’t usually have two giveaways in one week, but that’s just how things worked out! If you’ve read my blog for a while, I’m sure you’re familiar with Antique Farm House, the sister site to Decor Steals. They have awesome reproduction antique-ish, farm house-y things. My kind of things. They are launching a new […]
Organizing the Workshop
I confess that I have a tough time keeping my work areas clean. I know the other creative types out there understand. I am a bit of a neat-freak, but when I’m working on a lot of things, I don’t take the time to clean up the workshop. Scraps of wood get tossed on the […]

This all started a few months ago when Jeff and I started talking about getting more space for Mustard Seed Interiors. It started with frustrating declarations from me as I tripped over a piece of furniture in the basement or had a pile of inventory sitting in my living room. “I need more space to […]
the perfect jeans
When I set out to go shopping for jeans last Wednesday, I was about 87% sure that tears would be involved…or at least that I would go home in a discouraged funk. Jean shopping is just hard. They might fit well in one place, but not in another. They’re comfy, but they’re not flattering. They’re […]
Going to SNAP!
Today I’m heading to Baltimore to board a plane bound for Utah. We drove through the corner of Utah last summer on our family vacation to Colorado and the Grand Canyon and loved every second of that state through the car windows. I wish I was going to hike in Zion National Park and take […]
life updates
I suppose I’m not providing an update on everything, but just a lot of things that have been going on over the past year that I’m often asked about. I don’t want to throw something out there in a blog post and then never let you know how it’s going, so here you go… Fitness/Health […]
