Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & A Link Party
I’m serious when I say that the furniture pieces linked up to this party keep getting better and better. It’s tough to pick favorites. It’s sort of like picking the best M and M in the bag. Is there really a bad one? This week, I have kitchens on the brain (I can’t wait to makeover […]
Miss Mustard Seed Makeover
If you’re an avid, or even a casual reader of my blog, you know that I love a good makeover. Well, a pretty obvious one just happened. My blog, Miss Mustard Seed, has a new look. Before I talk about the makeover, I need to share how I got here. My wonderful friend, former youth […]
A Veruca Salt Moment
You know the moment. “I want it now.” This moment has to do with my True Value bathroom makeover. (If you weren’t aware, I won a $2500 gift card for the DIY disaster in my 1940’s bathroom. You can check out my entry video if you missed it the first time.) I’ll get to my Veruca […]

Union Jack Dresser – Take Two
Last month, I painted one of my favorite pieces of furniture ever…the Union Jack dresser. I rarely do the same thing twice, but this dresser received rave reviews and sold in a wink (with six other interested parties), so I thought it was worth making another one. I found the perfect dresser when I was […]
The Numbers Game
This morning was gloomy, grey and rainy and I felt sluggish. Around noon, the sun came out, the snow was melting and I felt like a new woman. I baked some bread, filled a bowl with bright green apples for my kitchen counter and was ready for Spring and all that comes with it…the birds […]
