We live above our showroom and workroom making it very easy for us to always be in an environment that is comfortable and interesting to us. The “show house” type of home has never appealed to either of us for our personal space. Being artists and designers we decided to let our collection of outsider art and oddities drive the atmosphere of our home. Comfort was another huge factor in our selection of furnishings. As you can see we incorporate vintage and new and just about anything we find interesting us. And I might ad that there isn’t anything, regardless of it’s value, that we won’t throw our feet on and allow our pugs, Trudy & Brenda to lay on. It’s an unusual atmosphere that is never visually boring to us even after eleven years. It is truly a reflection of our personalities as individuals as well as a couple We realize that our choices are not for everyone. That just makes it all the better. - John Diekmann, Designer at Workroom Couture Home
