Our first love is Mosaic. Each piece is lovingly handmade in our Calgary Studio incorporating antique and vintage china. Many hours of work are required to create this decorative and functional Art. Each piece is meant to bring a sense of elegance and whimsy to your home. Extensive travels to Europe have both awed and inspired us. Our Mosaic work graces homes throughout Canada and the United States. Mosaics and Shabby Chic are an inevitable combination. They lend themselves to a look that Europeans have long appreciated, worn with time, comfortable and well loved. Imagine the crumbling Italian villa, shabby French chateau or English cottage. These are furnishings and accessories that bring charm, character and comfort to your home unlike that found in mass-produced furnishings. Finding function for old forms is our challenge and joy. When you acquire one of our pieces, you have a unique one of a kind work of art that will add beauty and charm to your home.
