My September 11, 2001 Story
I think it’s safe to assume that most Americans experienced 9-11 through their television. I experienced a part of it in person and then later watched it on TV. On September 11, 2001, I was working for a staffing firm in downtown DC, right in the heart of the city. Getting to work each day was a […]
a peek at the new mustard seed interiors office
My office has been getting an overhaul over the past week. I finally got sick of the wall-to-wall wire racks, the door to nowhere and the mess. Oh, the mess. So, I’ve been purging and cleaning and painting and working my rear off to make my office/craft room a place that’s inspiring and practical for […]
Alice & Jay Giveaway
I have the pleasure tonight of introducing you to one of my sponsors and a very fun company, if you don’t know it already… Alice and Jay. Their tag line says it all. “Simple Splendiferous Fun.” And they are fun. I met the pair last May at the Lucketts Antique Market. I didn’t have much to […]
Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & a Link Party

Congratulations! Yasmin […]

the most frequently asked question
I get a lot of e-mail and comments asking questions, but the most common one I receive is, “Where did you get your curtains?” Since I originally posted about them over a year ago (Has it been that long?), I decided to share the tutorial on how to make them again. When I was looking […]
the rest of the photo shoot
When I do a photo shoot for Cottages and Bungalows or HGTV.com, I take LOTS of shots. I not only get the “beauty shots” that I think my editors want, but I take closeups and some other pictures that are just for me. I just can’t help myself. So, here are some of the rest […]
