“If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies…. It would be a sad situation if the wrapper were better than the meat wrapped inside it.”
― Albert Einstein
But, can’t we have both? Furnishings that have been made with loving care? AND, sane and kindly philosophies? A handmade lifestyle is about connecting the past with the present, with finding new uses for the old, for salvaging and building and for shaping spaces where life can thrive.
