Miss Mustard Seed

Fans of Marian Parsons' Miss Mustard Seed blog will join with new fans in this image-rich home decorating book. Parson's friendly style puts her home style -- an elegant but livable mix of antiques, French provincial, and even the occasional paper plate -- within reach of her fans. Rich photographs, cheerful text, and clear project instructions make this part coffee table book, part how-to, and part self-empowerment. Project instructions teach readers how to create (and prime) a framed chalkboard, upholster an ottoman, create a large wreath from antique rolled paper, apply milk paint, buff paste wax, and more. Public libraries concerned about the religious subtitle need not worry: the topics of faith and divinity are handled with a light, non-denominational touch. Highly recommended.
