The room was too dark for MN winter so we brightened it up a bit. Now it has a warm glow all day and in the evening too.

  • Arts and Crafts Movement reinterpreted

    At New York Fashion Week in February, designer Anna Sui’s show paid a stunning and creative tribute to the Arts and Crafts Movement. I was intrigued to see the values and aesthetics of the movement re-interpreted in a completely different genre.
