Alternative to Seagrass & Jute
Over the last few months, I’ve been switching out most of the rugs in my house to seagrass and jute. I’ve kept a few wool rugs, but I’m really enjoying the neutral color and rich texture brought to a space by natural grass rugs. I will admit, though, as lovely as they are, there are […]
Vintage Pillow Cases & Sofa Update
When I went shopping earlier this week, I found an amazing pair of vintage pillow cases. I’ve never seen any as long as these. They’re probably a good 12-18″ longer than the pillow. They were exactly what I’ve been keeping my eyes opened for. My pillow, which is down, is always popping out of the […]

The Mustard Seed Pages is live and ready to go!! So, what is it? A few months ago, I mentioned getting a quilt for free from Layla at The Chapel Market. This prompted a conversation in the comments of that post from readers who wanted quilts and then from others who had quilts they wanted […]
My Favorite Decorating Books
When Jeff and I were too poor to have cable, internet or dinner and a movie out, we would occasionally go to a book store and hang out for a couple of hours. He would wander off and look at…I don’t really know what he looked at, but I would make a bee-line for the […]
