Home is Where the ART is


In this blog I intend to capture the respect and the creativity people give to the spaces in and around their homes. Through photographs, artworks and stories, I will convey universal themes and unique inspirations seen in living spaces across America, everything from the simple – cleanliness, orderliness and safety – to the sublime – quirky collections, repurposed furnishings and hand-made crafts.

Distinct from the homes looming across the pages of advertisement-driven shelter magazines, the dwellings I present may not have the shiniest appliances or the plushest carpets, but they will illuminate the time-tested efforts that are both necessary and rewarding.

Images alone could carry the story of home-centric creativity, yet an occasional, brief interview will add another layer to their purpose and importance. Quotes from individuals – homeowners or renters – whose handiwork is presented will extend the narrative and authenticate perspective.

Join me as I explore the cradle of creativity – our homes. Feel free to send me photos or quotes or poems that reflect your notion of an inspired home:  paulacleggett@gmail.com
