My first Mustard Seed Pages purchase
When I first launched the Mustard Seed Pages, I joked that all ironstone listings need to go through me first. I have restrained myself from snatching up every nice piece I saw at a good price, but I couldn’t resist this one. Fluted compotes like these are listed for as high as $90-200 elsewhere online, […]
Family Room "Foyer"
Now that we’re getting the trim done in the family room, I feel motivated to finish off the room a bit more. We’ve had blank walls and temporary pieces of furniture in there for a while. As soon as the paint was dry, I moved a cane chair against the wall and a flat willow […]
