Decorating with quality handmade products for the home is trending in 2017.
To keep your home from looking like a DIY project gone awry, focus on investing in
quality items crafted by skilled artisans. Here are a few of our favorites:

handcrafted glazed ceramic tiles using
the dry-pressed technique that creates a
raised or embossed edge pattern for a crisp
architectural statement.

unique objects that are locally made by
world-class Detroit artists. They create
one-of-a-kind objects and works of art
that really make a statement. DDC by the

Hubbardton Forge creates each product
domestically, made-to-order, and in an
environmentally responsible way. This

Weitzner’s Spring 2017 collection,

surfaces and patinas of art forms, both
ancient and current. Shown, Kodiak’s
faceted, mosaic-like design is created

international magazines.
Encore Ceramics are green from the ground
up. All waste is collected and recycled into
tiles, and a custom water recycling process
saves more than 40,000 gallons of water
per year. This Storm crackle glaze is gray-
violet with a light green and sky blue base
with occasional hints of rose.
