It's always nice to have a walk-in closet.....Our client wanted a vanity with Hollywood lighting, meaning a row of bulbs on either side of the mirror. To achieve this we hand carved a beautiful, scrolling leaf pattern set in front of amber stain glass all the way around the large mirror. This created beautiful, soft lighting. We repeated the same carved leaf pattern on the drawers and the sides of the base cabinet. Our client has little girls so we made the vanity bench long enough so they could sit with mom. We dressed the bench in black velvet with rows of clear crystal and black faux fur. The chartreuse skirt compliments the beaded peacocks and roses on the back. For the dressing bench, we chose to do a round ottoman in black velvet also, but gave it a pop of color in hot pink and again used clear crystal for the accents. This led way to the bright colors in the reading nook pillows and the dramatic drapes. The reading table was made with an inlaid top with plenty of room for books, drinks, etc. One of my favorite features is the staircase; we carved the scripture Proverbs 31:10-12 (a virtuous wife) in the risers going up, and then finished it by hand painting the lettering in gold leaf to match with the gold in the staircase iron and walls. It's the perfect place to find inner as well as outward beauty.

FLX-1500-NAT-NAT - Flax - Bamboo Pendant - 60 - Natural Flax is based on the long slender leaves of the indigenous flax plant or harakeke in Maori. It has long been grown for its valuable fibre. There is a Maori proverb about preserving important resources: If you cut the central stalk of the flax bush, where will the bellbird feed? Maori would only take some of the outer leaves to ensure an ongoing supply. KIN-1400-NAT-NAT - Kina - Bamboo Pendant - 56 - Natural Kina references the inner shell of the local salt water sea-urchin called kina in Maori. David saw a kina shell in Antarctica – an exquisite jewel sunk in a tiny hollow in the sea ice. The shell had absorbed enough warmth from the sun to melt the ice around it. KOU-1600-NAT-NAT - Kōura - Bamboo Pendant - 64 - Natural Koura was inspired by woven baskets and also from the curled form of the New Zealand native fresh water shrimp, koura, which is its Maori name. Like our other lights Koura is available in a wide range of sizes from small and intimate to very large and dramatic

The popular and widely-copied wood stove by Jotul has returned! Practical, yet elegant and stylish, the Jotul 118 CB Black Bear retains the classic design and practicality of the original Model 118, while offering modern solid fuel combustion technology. The updated model incorporates Jotul's patented Crossflow non-catalytic combustion system with our own proven front-to-back “cigar burn.” The 118 CB Black Bear burns cleanly and keeps burning for hours. As a tribute to its Norwegian origins, the Jotul 118 CB Black Bear sports a decorative front plate with a Norske proverb that translates: “I built a fire one night. When day is done, may God will that my flame never die out.”

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you'd better be running. African Proverb
