Meanderings of Our Authentic Life

LOOK BOOK! A Highlight of our Antiqued Delft and Cuisine de Monet Tile Collections for Elegant Kitchens and Baths

April 20, 2025

The history of European interior design will forever include two hand made wall tile collections about which I am passionate: Delft Tiles and the tiles made famous by Claude Monet's kitchen.  In my blog, I discuss the history of Delft and Monet's tile - showcasing their similarities and differences.  Both are authentically historic and add elegance from kitchen backsplashes and fireplace surrounds to primary baths.  At Historic Decorative Materials, we source antique materials - from French limestone and oak flooring to Belgian bluestone and reclaimed terra cotta tiles. I felt it was essential to offer as well, a Delft and Monet tile collection not only for their sheer beauty, but historic accuracy when paired with antique materials.  As an artist, I jumped at the chance to hand paint our own Monet and Delft Tile Collections for our company.  In this blog, I highlight these collections, how we make them and pair them with our antique materials, elevating interiors into a timeless, historic, European elegance.

January 14, 2025

The world renowned Anduze French pottery from Provence was created in the 17th century, when a Provençal Anduze potter was inspired by the Italian Medici vase. Upon returning from Florence, this potter recreated those Medici vases in a singular style: distinctive bulbous shape, colorful glazed finishes and decorations of heraldic shields, garlands of flowers, and horizontal stripes - hence, the remarkable Anduze French vase we see today for home decor and gardens - or aptly known as La Poterie d'Anduze.

The Perfection of Minimalist + Classical Design + Master Crafted Hand-Painted Italian Wood Doors

March 03, 2019

We all agree we aspire to a home that is a sanctuary of peace and beauty. Often times we feel zen in a minimalist space.  This design philosophy uses light and space with minimal details and a limited color palette.  However, these interiors may leave one also feeling cold.  Combining minimalism with classical interiors is what I personally love.  I feel best in an uncluttered space that is airy and light, yet I yearn for also simple beauty, texture, color and history.  Following this eclectic pairing will help one design a space that is not overly designed - but more thoughtfully designed.
