Cinne For me, art in the home is critical to my sense of well-being. My creative work space could be described as a life-size Pinterest board buzzing with color, graphics and art. In contrast to this sensory rich environment, I decided to select items with a muted palette to create a meditative mood.

Nanako The beauty of nature plays prominently in my selections. Floral prints are a year round favorite and speak to me of the softness, yet strength of the feminine. Who doesn’t feel beautiful surrounded by nature?
