New Collection Andi-Le Aspen

My emersion in the studio this summer caused me to go dark in the blog and social media world. Between commissioned pieces, creating a new line of serving ware, and enjoying Aspen and my horses, the days went by quickly! I have had to reorganize and prioritize my aspirations. As an artist, I want to play. As a businesswoman, I need to produce.  And there in lies the crux. Finding a rhythm and enjoying the ride is key!

Trying a selfie with Chiquita, I need longer arms!                                  Kayaking at Reudi.      AHHHHHH!

 

Andi-Le Aspen is the key to bringing it all together. One of its kind or limited production, home accessories that fill my need to create those special details that give a home soul.

Right now, I am concentrating on exceptionally designed trays created from reclaimed wood, giving each tray a deeper history while repurposing nature’s art.

AND…. I am very excited to launch the Andi-Le Aspen NOT SO lazy Susan Collection.

This is not your mother’s brown, wood, lazy susan!  This collection is sculptural, modern and stylish. Small editions of each design, allows me to play and create as the inspiration flows. They blend art and function perfectly. Andi-Le Aspen has a modern global aesthetic and the stamp of the artist/sculptor and craftsman. These home accents have been inspired by my lifestyle, travel, nature and a curious eye.

 Andi-Le Aspen products can be found at www.luxdetails.com Check out the whole collection! As well as the great tips on entertaining, design ideas.

 LOVE LOVE LOVE this quote. “Freedom to me is the luxury of being able to follow the path of the heart, to keep te magic in your life. Freedom is necessary for me to create, and if I cannot create I don’t feel alive” Joni Mitchell

With a couple feet of fresh snow, it is a winter wonderland. The really cold temperatures in the mornings have been brutal, making my barn chores a little less enjoyable. My horses had frosted eyelashes! So extra carrots and extra hay are on their menu.

From Our Home to Yours, Wishing you a happy and creative holiday season,

til next YEAR

Bespoke vs Mass Produced Furniture

Finding the right piece, in the right size, in the right tone, with the right elements, can be down right tough. And can leave a bare space in your home for longer than you intended and never being quite finished or quite right.

 While buying either a custom pieces or a mass produced piece can be beautiful and exclusive. The exclusivity is in the process not the design.

 As a designer and maker, I am moved by a desire for authenticity and pieces genuinely inspired by the maker. I like knowing the hands that touched it, the history, the story and the soul of a piece.

I encourage everyone to find artists and craftsmen that resonate with you. Get involved in the process and create something fresher and more alive.

 A home is more than a place to rest your heads. Beautiful objects have the ability to transform. Your home is the best representation of who you are, what you like and how you live.

So my passion is to help you LIVE CREATIVELY!

LUXDETAILS the Preview Launch

My passion for hand crafted and superior quality pieces with an edge, finally got the best of me.

I launched LUXDETAILS, an online gallery of one-of-a-kind and limited edition, home and fashion accessories.

One of the issues with being creative is that artists and designers LOVE to create. Selling, on the other hand, is not a LOVE. And “getting out there” can be elusive.

I love to create, and along with the Andi-Le line of custom accent furniture, I have a million ideas. Designing and creating one of a kind pieces and limited edition,

home accessories lets my juices flow. LUXDETAILS.com will represent Andi-Le accessories as well as other artist/designers.

It will be an honor to spotlight talented and undiscovered makers and designers of superior quality work with authenticity and an aesthetic of luxury with an edge. Not crafty but hip. Not only a mix of high design and sophistication, but pieces with a soul, meaning and purpose.

For the discerning clientele with a selective eye, I will introduce objects that imply luxury and a certain exclusivity that comes with seeking out what is not readily found. The collections of LUXDETAILS are curated and hold to critical standards.

I will search the world to bring you fantastic and unique objects to choose from. Nothing mass-produced here, just limited edition or one-of-a-kind, pure integrity and pride in every piece.

So please check out the preview launch of LUXDETAILS.com And connect with us by signing up on the mailing list, so you can see the latest objects of desire and be inspired and Live creatively

ps... below is a sneak peak.

A Truck Full of Aspen Seats and Tables

SCORE!

Ahhh the smell of fresh cut Aspens. They are big, heavy and who knows what inspiration they will provide for "One-of-a-Kind" pieces of accent furniture. Each one will be  unique and handcrafted. These hunks will need most of the winter to dry out, and crack.  Nature will do what it does, then the enhancing begins.

til next week, xx
