  During these unprecedented times of going through a pandemic, a change to our relationship with home is being experienced across the globe. This is happening not in one place or to one group, but to everyone, everywhere.   Practically overnight, the spaces in which we lived transformed into offices, schools, gyms, playgrounds and social spaces. Households were together 24/7, extended families were divided and friendships, distanced.

Now, many of us are making plans to protect this newfound closeness by creating spaces that really fit our emotional needs during a lockdown.  It is important to create a space you love and can relax in. And that's wh...

Blot any liquid spills immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth or sponge, and then allow the leather to air-dry.  If the spill is absorbed, it will dissipate over time as the leather naturally diffuses the stain. Practicing regular preventive maintenance is key to keeping your leather looking fresh. Leather’s resistance to soil will improv...

  Plan ahead It’s hard to imagine, but now is the perfect time to start planning your home for the upcoming holidays.  With many delays and disruptions occurring due to COVID-19, it has certainly changed the way we shop and how we spend our time at home.  Casual Comfort We all live in a more casual way, less clutters, simpler but it does not mean that it has to lack style and smart sophistication.
