Color is but the rainbow picked apart and assigned duties. Yellow sets the tone for “happy” and Blue is a depressant, famous for its appetite-suppressant qualities. Beyond its direct impact on our moods, color, and indeed art, has the ability to transport the spirit to other spheres.

We like to think of The House as a canvas, upon which the interior life projects her vision. This is done with the knowledge of the House’s energy and demands, and the understanding of Light’s play in its rooms.

This is by far the most intuitive of labor, but we are currently designing a “House Personality Test” in the hopes of isolating the variances that make up the charm of a beautiful and gracious home.

Whereas an interior designer might insist on removing a few walls here and building a few more there to showcase wealth and a certain accumulation of treasures, we simply strive to get in touch with the House as it is: the beholder of current life, the nest where life springs from and begins anew everyday.

We draw inspiration from the early men who drew on the walls of their cave in Lasceaux, the Basotho People in Southern Africa, whose houses themselves signify the womb and the creation, and from every child who has ever taken a wax crayon to the walls of his room.
