Lacey stopped by Sunday

May 14

It was great seeing our friend Lacey Howard Sunday. We claim her as our own, but she's been living in Des Moines for year's now as an editor for Meredith Publications. I just remembered to get a quick pic before she ran back to spend the rest of Mother's day with her Mama.

Great to see that she hasn't forgotten her Southern friends. Now, we are going to have to tweak the accent a bit, also a lesson on our Southern "pace" is on my agenda as well.

Robin Wade

Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
