French Blue | Farmhouse White
My Joss & Main collection, French Blue, Farmhouse White is live and it will run through January 12, 2013. I shopped for items that I would put in my own home and ones I felt were clearly “Miss Mustard Seed” style. You can almost recreate my living room with these pieces… […]
family room organization
Now that our new floors are installed in the family room, I am very motivated to clean up the joint. Things were so busy for me in 2012 that I really slacked on my usual “stuff control” duties. I knew I needed to clean out a closet, organize the toys, or get rid of clothes […]
my office & my floors
I have been working hard the past few days to get some things done around my house. Most of the week was spent catching up from the lack of work time over the holidays. That included organizing my office to get it super functional. There’s still a long way to go, but I’m only […]

The totally wrong way to hem curtains
I took the tree down a couple of days ago and it left me staring at my unhemmed curtains that I finished about two years ago. I came to the realization that I am never going to hem these curtains. There is always something more fun to do than pinning, measuring, ironing and sewing […]
Home Projects for 2013
I said in my post yesterday that I have a home improvement list a mile long. That might be hard to believe, but you have to remember that you see very strategic shots of my home and I’ll often use pieces for photo shoots and then sell them, leaving a big hole in my house. […]
