Making Mustard

It’s been quite the wild ride 2021, and we’re left feeling a sense of relief and saying to ourselves “phew, we made it. We survived.”

Here’s a look back at the year through Mustard coloured glasses.

Magnets. Pretty useful little things, right? We definitely agree, especially when our lockers are the perfect surface for them (move over fridges!) We’re sharing all of the pretty, practical and sometimes just kinda hilarious ways to use Wordbits on our lockers. 

We like to think that being sisters is our special business super power! Working with someone you know inside and out really makes things a whole lot easier. It brings a level of trust that is hard to find in any other relationship, you know each others strengths (and weaknesses) and have a deep understanding of what we each need/want/wish for.  We wrote a whole blog post about how our relationship has helped (and sometimes hindered... but mostly helped!) us along the way. As it turns out, we aren't the only ones to have discovered this business 'hack'! There are a number of...

We love Lilac. No, we really love Lilac. As the newest color to our rainbow, we can't quite believe we didn't have this beauty in our lineup all along. We're making up for lost time by spreading the love for this pretty purple shade far and wide! We had a photoshoot just for Lilac in the wonderful home of Annie @annieveringham - the photos turned out so well that they just deserved a blog post all of their own! We thought, what a great opportunity this is to show off just how gorgeous Lilac is (in case you didn't know already, and if you...

Ever wondered how to find a paint to match a color *perfectly*? Well, we have the answer for you. There's a super quick + easy way to find the perfect paint to match our lockers, or whatever it is you want to color match!

Mustard Made lockers have lots of little details and hidden secrets that make them pretty on the outside and seriously practical storage on the inside. Perhaps our favourite detail is our handy hooks.

You’re probably wondering "why are these hooks there? What on earth could I hang on them?" That’s a great question and one we are going to answer for you! 

We share ten of our favourite business-y podcasts which have helped us along the way - perfect for a commute (a commute? We've forgotten what that looks like!), when you need something to listen to and focus, or if you want to unwind. Wherever and however you listen to your podcasts, we recommend giving these ones a go!

We have compiled 20 of our favorite American creators into this list - it was hard to pick just a few but we hope these dreamy accounts give you all of the home  inspo your heart desires!

Take a look at some of the accounts that stop our scroll.

We’re celebrating our Instagram account reaching 100k! Yes, that’s one hundred thousand followers, that’s kinda a big deal if we may say so ourselves. We’re taking a moment to reflect on some of the numbers behind our colourful brand. Some you may know, some you may not! Let’s take a look…

Make your own mini magnetic planters! They stick straight to your locker so you don’t even need to clear up any shelf space - how convenient is that? They look pretty cute too, so you will definitely end up making more than one. Don’t say we didn’t warn you! 

Our launch in the USA is almost upon us, it feels like we have blinked and it's already here. We know it is going to bring its challenges but we are taking our business to a whole new continent, that’s a pretty big deal! It has been a process, as it always is with any big business venture, so I wanted to share with you some of the story from behind the scenes. Something we have found super helpful is talking to people who have done it before us, learning from mistakes, soaking in all the advice our brains can...

You may have already heard (we have mentioned it just a few times on Instagram!) but we’re launching Mustard Made in the US soon. Very, very, very soon. We’re feeling all of the emotions - terrified, nervous, a little confused but also SO excited to be able to get our lockers in the hands of all the lovely Americans out there! The locker is a staple in American culture so Mustard just works, it is something we have known we would do since we started the business, and we feel so lucky that we are able to make it happen already. It’s...
