We’ve been a little crazy over here with some exciting stuff we can’t wait to share with our favorite people.
And today, is all about a sneak peek of sorts.
There’s been a lot going on behind the scenes here this past year with us, that we look forward to sharing when we can. But in the meantime, we’ve been designing, planning, painting, photographing, beta testing, crunching all of the numbers and just about anything else you can think of for something really fun…
And we’re very excited to announce that this November, we will be launching the The Handmade Home Studio!
Awesome, you say. Good story. But what is it?
It’s a collection of our own lines. Right here.
Fabrics.
Art prints.
Wallpaper.
Housewares.
Books.
Apparel.
Paper goods.
Handmade art.
Even some of our very favorite found pieces.
All produced by us, that you can’t find anywhere else.
A little bit of us, from our home, straight to yours.
This is something that has been a long time coming. A pie-in-the-sky kinda dream that we’ve always believed in. We just weren’t sure when it was happening. Or how. But we knew that it was something we wanted to do.
We tried different ideas in the past, but the timing was always wrong. The version never felt right. And right now – (kind of ironic) it’s not where we saw it, or when, or even how. But sometimes, all of the pieces start to fall into place… and you know it’s time.
We realized maybe there’s a reason we’ve found ourselves in the season we are, right now.
Over the last few years, we’ve realized this little website was ready to change into something else. We’re ready to take our love for what we do, to the next level in a new way. So we’re embracing it whole heartedly, and we’re thrilled to share all of our ideas right here. To help others love where they dwell.
We’re in the process of revamping our site, to represent what The Handmade Home has become. From our design services, to our product lines, while still representing what we are to the core. We’re that family who loves to soak up the moments, embrace where we are, create beautiful things… and hopefully, inspire others.
You can shop in our virtual studio, where you’ll find a colorful collection, to breathe life into any space. Or read all about our design services, and what we have to offer right now for anyone who is interested.
And of course, no matter where life takes us, you’ll always find us here, in our little corner of the internet, via old faithful in our blog. Sharing how to make our favorite chocolate concoction or new-found pillows. Design revamps in our home and others, school adventures, and an occasional side of Rigby and Fitz/there’s-a-man-in-our-attic, antics.
Always the antics.
That will never change. We love it too much.
So if you like our blog, or anything you find here… consider this upcoming version the high-def, funky-pair-of-shoes, best friend you love to dream up inspiring ideas with.
Want to get in on the action?
1. Mark your calendars. Because we plan to launch early-to-mid November, and will be adding really fun ideas and products as we go… we’ll be ever changing in what we offer and love all the exciting possibilities of that growth process. This is just the beginning.
2. Join our mailing list {you’ll find it in the sidebar} to stay up to date on happenings, and all our studio creations.
3. Follow along here, and on social media for sneak peeks as we share a few of our favorite creations that will be available in studio, just for you… only here!
We’re so excited to share this with all of you – thank you again for your continued sweet support, as you’re a part of this process with us, and we could not do it without you.
The Handmade Home – Love where you dwell.
