  • For a fresh alternative to paint, use hand-screened wallpaper.
  • Whether delicate or dazzling, wallpaper can give rooms a new level of sophistication. Use it en masse, or create a feature wall of texture and
    color.
  • For a bedroom alternative with history and humor, add a handmade quilt, whimsical and rich in pattern.
  • When displaying a quilt, distribute the weight evenly and avoid rooms with high humidity.
  • Infuse your home with the warmth of earth, with pottery or porcelain.
  • Handcrafted wares are just like functional sculptures.
  • Brighten up your space with the liquid beauty of handblown glass; available in a rainbow palette, there is a color and style to suit any décor.
