I showed off my new family room wainscoting a few days ago, but the hutch in the corner was bugging me a little.  Even as we were moving the furniture back, I said to Jeff, “I think this hutch looks too squished into that corner and it hides all of the wainscoting.”

“Oh no.  I think it looks fine.”  I think that was code for I don’t really want to move furniture right now.

A few days later, I was ready to move the hutch and other things around, so he helped me.

We moved the hutch by the front door in the living room and brought in the small MMSMP Grain Sack dresser that was under the living room window.  I topped it off with the small antique hutch.  I like how it opens things up more and allows the wainscoting to be seen and appreciated.

I tried a few different things on the wall above, but haven’t settled on anything.  Right now a framed crocheted piece is up there.  We’ll see how long it stays.

And I was able to fit in one of my favorite pieces…my Oma’s rocker.  We have a picture of her sitting in it as a little girl.  It was painted white at the time, but my Opa refinished it somewhere along the way.

Things are always on the move in the Mustard Seed household!  Finishing the wainscoting was a good excuse to move a few things around and get them freshened up.

I spent most of today packing orders from the online shop and pricing more things for Lucketts.  One tag at a time and we’ll get there!
