Black Friday – Mustard Seed Style
I am not waking up at 4 AM to hit the local department stores to buy electronics and slippers and small appliances. I am not going to elbow people for the last door buster on the shelf and I am not going to wait in a line that wraps around the store. Now that I […]
Finding & Embracing Your Style
This post is about style. Your style. Great style. And how to figure out which is which. Do you find that you love transitional beach modern French bohemian country shabby chic log cabin Edwardian cottage junk style? Do you get your home set in one style and then a magazine or blog will sway you […]
HGTV.com Projects & Yesterday
As most of you know, I have the privilege of writing tutorials for HGTV.com. I still have to pinch myself when I think about it and I’m still trying to convince myself that I am a real designer, business owner and writer. Craziness. I don’t say that with any kind of false humility. The sequence […]

Furniture Feature Friday – A Favorite and a Link Party
