It is the perfect compliment to hotdogs, polish sausage, grilled hamburgers and much more. You are only limited by your imagination!<br />
<br />
In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup each of black and yellow mustard seeds with 1 1/2 cups malt vinegar and 1 1/2 cups dark beer; refrigerate overnight. In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup dark beer with 5 tablespoons honey, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons allspice and 3/4 teaspoon turmeric and bring to a boil. When cool, puree in a blender with the mustard seed mixture and 1 cup ground dried mustard. Refrigerate overnight before serving.<br />
<br />
It is a bit labor intensive, but well worth it. This is truly a gourmet, homemade, bowl of mustard scrumptiousness. <br />

Coastal Living Magazine is one of absolute favorite publications, but it is geared toward the high end market. I hope you find this post useful and know that you can achieve the high end look for much less.<br />
<br />
The first set of items are three blue glass vases:<br />
<br />
1. Buy it: www.twoscompany.com, $25.00 each, Set of 3 $75.00 <br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://img4.coastalliving.com/i/2011/06/shore-things/vintage-bottles-m.jpg?300:300" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://img4.coastalliving.com/i/2011/06/shore-things/vintage-bottles-m.jpg?300:300" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;"></div><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
www.carohope.etsy.com, $30.00 for set of four<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img3.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.250243719.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://img3.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.250243719.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<br />
The Buy it bottles are $25.00 each for a total of $75.00 for a set of three. The etsy bottles are vintage Wheaton, $30.00 for the set of four, or $7.50 each. This is an overall savings of $45.00. What a deal for genuine Wheaton vintage bottles. They are just as beautiful and will make a lovely display.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The second item is a Sea Urchin Teapot:<br />
<br />
2. Buy it: www.tiffany.com, Bone China Sea Urchin Teapot, $250.00 <br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://img4.coastalliving.com/i/2011/09/shore-things/urchin-teapot-m.jpg?300:300" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://img4.coastalliving.com/i/2011/09/shore-things/urchin-teapot-m.jpg?300:300" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img0.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.263289000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</a></div>www.beyondjordanstudio.etsy.com, Handmade Porcelain Urchin Teapot, $98.00<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img0.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.263289000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://img0.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.263289000.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<br />
<br />
Both teapots are simply gorgeous, but the Tiffany teapot in Bone China runs $250.00 and the BeyondJordanStudio handmade porcelain version, absolutely gorgeous sells for $98.00 for a difference of $152.00. Again, a fantastic look for less.<br />
<br />
With just these two items, you could realize a total savings of $197.00. It is possible to get the look for less, it just requires a little research, patience and of course, the thrill of the hunt!<br />
<br />
I am always up for a challenge, so if you have any Look for Less questions or beach interior design questions, just send me a comment and I will be more than happy to assist in any way that I can!<br />
<br />
Happy shopping and I look forward to helping each and everyone!<br />
