This has to be the most useful DIY + if you're anything like us, a label making session is your idea of a good Friday night in! Just imagine all the things that can can an offical place with it's very own magnetic label!
It's a super fast way to add some personality to your Mustard locker!
To mark International Women's Day we wanted to put our money where our mouths are. It's great to speak out and share stories but along with that comes the responsibly to act. We decided to pay it forward to support others whose lives are full of untapped potential.
We'd like to introduce you to Kate Jansen... Wow is definitely the word that comes to mind when we scroll Kate Jansen's instagram feed so it's no surprise she named her business @wowhaus.au. Her imaginative home is quite literally the dictionary definition of 'colour pop', exploding with curious collections and playfully blending old and new, seamlessly mixing beach vibes with a distinctly British flavour. Kate's sunny family home is in the Mornington Peninsular, not far from Melbourne if you're not a local! But the family moved from England five years ago, so there's signs of their travels wherever you look. As an Artist, Kate brings colour...
A little over two months ago I started working here at Mustard and oh my goodness what a whirlwind it has been! I knew when I started it was the calm before the storm, it was the lead up to Christmas and it was a really lovely time to be able to settle into life at Mustard. Every day is different, but I am always kept busy! I thought it would be a nice idea to let you see a little of what goes on ‘behind the scenes’ at Mustard UK HQ...
Now seems like a just the right moment to get a little reflective. We've taken the last few weeks away from work (mostly) + there's nothing like a bit of space to reset + refocus.Â
Last year a LOT happened. Here's our 2019 in numbers...
It's official, Lockers + Plants is a thing. With more of us bringing greenery into our homes, the need for leafy inspiration has us hooked on Kate from @tribeandus's instgram feed. One scroll and you'll understand exactly why.
September marked one whole year since we launched Mustard in the UK so we threw ourselves a party!!
Being your own boss(es) means it's all too easy to let the days slip by without really stopping to see how far you've come, to actually reflect and maybe even to reward yourself for your hard work...
It has to be said that one of the most notable things about @kimgrayza is that she's the mama of triplets + a big brother. Raising four kids, with three being baby humans all at once, really is pretty damn incredible. But, being a mum isn't by any means the whole story of who Kim is. We've been following Kim on Instagram for a while + admiring her neutral, minimalist home, laid back style and is on a gentle mission to live more sustainably.
This week we let our stockists + customers know that we are increasing the price of The Skinny. We sent out emails and we shared stories on instagram all the while holding our breath and hoping it would all be ok.
We received a message on instagram asking "why the sudden jump in price?" so I thought I'd open up about why.
For this class I matched the new locker size ‘Midi’ in the warm and rich Berry colour with products from more of my favourite artists and home wares brands.
Identity is really what it says on tin, it's about expressing your identity particulary the side of us that is brave, empowered and non–conforming. Think hues of rich red, energetic orange and electric blue paired back with bright pastel peach and lavender, layered with the depth of more traditional dark green and purple. Sounds like a lot right? And it is.
Earlier in the year they announced the 2019 theme ‘Filter’ which is all about our craving for individuality and personal expression. My favorite forecast to date (though I probably say that every year, lets be honest), I am relieved that we’ve moved on from all shades of grey interiors and are now taking our colour and style cues from the design eras spanning from the 60’s to the 90’s.
The way The Midi and The Lowdown were brought into this world felt a bit more like a baby being born in the back the car on the way to hospital with heavy metal booming on the radio than a soothing water birth surrounded by candles and a chilled Spotify playlist.
