\u201cWe are consciously selective of who we invite into our home. It\u2019s our sanctuary.\u201d
\nMy client wasn\u2019t referring to a specific person, rather a painting she had just purchased.
\nShe spoke of teaching their family about conscious consumerism, awareness of valued, ethically sourced items. \u201cAnd yes,\u201d she said, \u201c when I place your painting in our home, I am inviting you in to have a place in our family. To influence us, those who visit and our surroundings.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Glenn Adamson former director of the Museum of Arts and Design, NY says \u201c People have dogs because they give them so much back. Our culture has not forgotten why you\u2019d want to have a dog, but I feel it\u2019s forgotten why you would want to have well made things in your life. That\u2019s something we have to get back in touch with.\u201d ( Psychology Today Aug. 2018).
\nReferencing his own environment, \u201cI want every object that passes thru the door to deserve to be in the house. Not because its expensive, but because it makes sense. I want to know where it came from, who made it, and ideally, to have met them.\u201d<\/p>\n

You invite acquired pieces to engage you daily.
\nThe quality of engagement depends on your selection. Thoughtfully chosen, they can have a positive impact to your health, and the environment.<\/p>\n

Living with handmade unique items inspires original ideas, concepts, and\u00a0stimulates creativity to flourish in those engaging with your collection.You encourage conscious consumerism, community, individuality, sustainability, legacy & innovation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We are directly influenced mentally, physically & emotionally what surrounds us, and yes, that includes art.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Art & craft exhibit what can be formed from human mind, body & spirit. Empowering not just the creators, but those in their midst.<\/p>\n

Trend on social media expresses \u2018you can have the items in this room & design from ‘mass produced #bigbox.’
\nYou weren\u2019t made from a mold, perhaps the things you hold dear shouldn\u2019t either? Original & handcrafted doesn’t necessarily mean expensive, and it usually holds or increases in value.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Express your individuality by celebrating, engaging in and living with original art & craft made by a master creative workerbee.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An original table will likely never see a landfill. It will serve your family, and hold loving stories for generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t care about how something is (made) your are not likely to understand why its worthy of respect and why you\u2019d want to have it. But it\u2019s not just an heirloom you are refusing, you literally lose continuity with your familial past, and thats much more than failing the objects.\u201d Glenn Adamson, author of \u2018Fewer, Better Things.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

Is your room designed for a magazine or for your life? We spend the majority of our lives indoors, perhaps we need to stop ‘filling spaces\u2019 and begin creating custom healthy environments to thrive<\/strong> in.<\/em><\/p>\n
