Up to his Old Tricks

That Matthew Mead is at it again. With simple, fresh, budget friendly ideas and such appealing photography & styling, it is a true feast for the eyes.


His new ideas for summer are fantastic and his recipes sound de-lish!

His projects are lovely and easy to pull off. I always wonder why I didn't think of them first.

I find him so inspirational and I think you will too. If you haven't signed up for his newsletter you are missing out. Also, don't forget to check out the archives.

    Oh my gosh - how did I not know about this guy? Maybe it has something to do with the 3 kids under 5? I see some "mommy time" in my near future. Thanks for the post.

    Cool! I didn't know he had a magazine. I know him from a segment he did on HGTV's Country Style (which, sadly, is no more). I especially love the platter house numbers. Darling! ~A :-)

    I thought I was his number one fan!! Isn't he the best? And he's married!! Wouldn't you like to have a man who would actually brake for yardsales??!! His wife is a lucky girl (and a pretty talented one herself)!! Great post...as always!

    Jen~ what a fabulous blog you have here! I stumbled in from somewhere and just feel right at home. I can see that you are creating quite a 'nest'.
    I hope you are enjoying your summer with those girls! Stop in for a glass of sweet tea when you get a break!
    Oh... and I saw your favorite book. Mom and Dad bought the cafe from Fannie's great-aunt Bess~ you know her as Iggy!
