Create Your Own Special Space
Find your own haven in at home to paint, read, do yoga, and leave behind the demands of daily life. Look around your house and transform dead spaces. All you need is imagination and some shelves, flower pots, mood lighting, a pretty chair and cushions to renovate a tiny unused alcove or shed into an area to call your own.
Put your children to work
Show your kids some great abstract black and white art and let them have fun recreating something of their own. En masse, their art, can feel bold and sophisticated. Plus black and white art is one of the most wanted piece for your wall this year, and is looking hot for 2018.
Butcher’s Blocks
The kitchen staple has a laid-back reputation as a classic thing used to build up a room’s character, but this season’s strong, statement-pieces are a lesson in utility chic that take them to a more high-impact place. You need to see Specified Store’s limited editon pieces.
