new artful homes
Glamorous, exotic and full of personal, eclectic collections. Startling parallels with the historic Aesthtic movement are apparent: interconnecting rooms, a high density of furnishings, mix-and-match patterning, inventive use of rich materials, an embrace of rich color. The point of the artful home is to sustain life with beauty. Homemakers find the art in the everyday, and they bring it home to enrich the soul. (Zukowski, 2006)
