Well, we’re spending an unprecedented amount of time at home. Depending on your constitution, this is either a blessing or a curse. But let’s not get it twisted – it’s a privilege to stay home! Still, it's something new that needs to be navigated and figured out. Each day presents new challenges. Personal space/time is perhaps hard-fought and elusive, and let's be real – tidiness is just an unrealistic goal.
The confines of your home might be feeling a little stale and a little monotonous; if that’s the case we’ve got you covered. We have ample ethically-made goods and wares that make for a cozier, more beautiful home.
Sometimes freshening up a space takes little more than some piñon room and linen spray or a luxurious bar of cold process soap. Little things can make all the difference. Here are some of our favorite things for home.

Bring some much-welcome sunshine inside. These colorful stained glass sun catchers and wall hangings are handmade in the Visalia, California workshop of Chelsea Brewer. Oh how we love when they offer little moments of light throughout a busy day.

No better time to invest in a few high-quality goods to level up the coziness factor at home. This wool rug from Minna is woven by hand in Oaxaca, Mexico and is an heirloom in the making.
