New Ceramics and Kitchens to Love

Trudy Crane March 10, 2014

I have recently added some new ceramics to my Etsy site here...I am currently working with a new artist by the name of Marie-France Labrosse and she has created some wonderful pieces that I am now selling in my Etsy store. She has amazing talent and it is a pleasure to be able to get her work out there for people to see! When my pieces are in the process of creation and when they are being photographed (by Chloe Crane-Leroux) I always picture them in a certain setting...what kind of kitchen I see them in, what kind of table could I make with them and so on..which helps me imagine how the people will use them and gives me inspiration and new ideas. Here are some of the new ceramics in my store and a few wonderful kitchens that they would look great in...

Inspiration in White: Pastels

Trudy Crane February 17, 2014

I love pastels so much and yes I have done many posts with pastels...but really pastels can be so shabby chic, so modern, so cool. When products are made in pastels, like lights, ceramics, chairs, Smeg fridges, well....I can't get enough. Surprisingly I don't have any pastels in my own home but the ceramics collection I am working on right now is in pale blue and pink...can't wait to get my samples completed! I also love some of the copper or brass lighting that work so well with pastels that you see in a few of these photos. Gorgeous!

Inspiration in White: Studio Decor

Trudy Crane January 20, 2014

Well I finally did it! I am opening my own ceramic studio with two friends and fellow artists...So excited! This will be another great part in my life as an entrepreneur, artist, interior designer, brand builder and blogger of course! I am thrilled to have a place to work on my ceramics but not only that, we will give classes in the space as well so that will be so much fun. This is a dream I have had that is coming to realization and it is a great feeling!!

So of course being an interior designer I can not wait to decorate and all week I have been putting together ideas. It is a very square space that we have and very industrial. The walls are white of course and the concrete floor is grey. This is a working studio that will have a lot of traffic...for this reason I think I will add a bit of colour...one accent colour (I would love yellow) plus lots of wood and metal. Take a look at some of the ideas I found....
