Congrats, ladies! All of you have been emailed, so get back to me ASAP!
I’ve gotten to know over the last 3 years or so. You may all know her as Miss Mustard Seed, but her real name is Marian and she has written a very inspiring and beautiful book, full of her own photography, many taken in her beautiful cottage style home. It’s so exciting to see my blog friends be recognized and all of the opportunities that are coming to bloggers is just so much fun to watch.
If you haven’t been to her blog, you must take a peek. Marian is just as real and down to earth as they come and she was on our Haven team this year, teaching classes on painting furniture, which is one of her many talents. Marian started her own business, painting and selling furniture, which led to her starting a blog and well, her star has risen and she is doing so many wonderful things now. I’m so, so happy for her and it is well deserved.
Her book is just out about a month now and published by Thomas Nelson, a Christian publisher. Inspired You: Letting God Breathe New Life into Your Heart and Home is a lovely book, filled with not only beautiful photos, but Marian’s well-spoken words as well. Marian really knows how to string together sentences and draw you into her world.
Here’s a little video clip from Marian about Inspired You.
From the treasure hunt of finding run-down furniture and bringing it back to life again, to showing how to paint furniture, sew slipcovers and more, Marian inspires all women to work with what they have and decorate on a budget, using the God-given gifts that we all have received.
Taking a peek through the book, you’ll see lots of beautiful rooms in Marian’s home. She’s a wonderful decorator and knows how to put thing together and she teaches us all how to do it as well.
Another awesome opportunity that Marian has been blessed with is getting her own line of milk paint. She is one talented lady in furniture painting and I know so many have been inspired by her to go out and find old furniture to fix up and love again. Click here for the entire list of retailers who are carrying Marian’s new milk paint.
I was so excited for her and have seen her milk paint displays several times now. This was at the Bella Rustica market in TN. Everyone seems to know Miss Mustard Seed!
And today, I get the exciting pleasure of offering up for giveaway THREE of her beautiful new books, Inspired You!

Rhoda, Thank you for offering this great giveaway from Miss Mustard Seed. I think I would like to try to paint using her milk paint product. I’ve been a bit intimidated to try it… But I just might, now.
I would definitely focus on her painting techniques, but I really just like the inspirational photos. thanks for this offer
I would very much like to have a copy of this book, for not only everything it teaches from a practical standpoint, but for the inspirational words as well.
I would love to win the book. You both inspire me, but with all the comments it looks a bit like winning the powerball.

I read the portion available via a “sneak peek” provided on her website. I am now at the stage where she was at, and felt before she got started. I believe she described it as “in a funk.” I would love to learn how and where to begin.
Thank you for providing this opportunity.
I’ve been afraid to try using milk paint….so, would love to learn from the expert!
I’ve been “reading”, “learning”, and absorbing from Miss Mustard Seed for about a year now and just can’t seem to get enough from her. Her talent is so inspiring that it would be a blessing to win her book, if I’m not so lucky to win I will bless myself by purchasing the book tho. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would love to know how to paint furniture. I have an oak china cabinet that I love the style of… but it really needs an update.
