Our latest capsule collection is curated by the incredible,  Natalie Papier of Home Ec Op and we are thrilled to share a collection of pieces that just, "feel like home", to her. Read on below to learn more about Natalie and get her answers to five questions about the collection.

Papier is an interior designer, television personality and lead designer on the Magnolia Network’s show Artfully Designed. She is also the author of Start with the Art: The Smart Way to Decorate Any Room on Any Budget, a book that illustrates her design philosophy — that the best way to create a space you love is to begin with something that moves you.

Rooted in a shared philosophy of art-focused interiors and thoughtfully curated spaces that reflect the owner’s personality, “See You at Home” is a collection of works guest-curated by Natalie in the front room of the gallery that lean into the idea of what "home" means to her. 

“This installation is meant to feel nostalgic — emphasizing the comfort of home. It’s familiar and joyful, with a touch of whimsy” 

Known for her bold, eclectic style, Papier says that art is everywhere. “I want to encourage others to find it — whether it’s a beloved heirloom object, a painting, a fun collection, or a textile,” she says. “The book offers visual guides, inspiration, and a whole lot of straight talk, helping you build from your inspiration to incorporate the textures, patterns, colors and furnishings that make spaces feel perfect to you.”

We believe that Natalie's focus on emotional connection makes for a natural collaboration with us here at Art & Light. 

“Our approach is exactly the same. We instinctively gravitated toward similar pieces and placed the artwork in much the same way," says Natalie, and she is right! During the installation, our team was in lockstep and had so much fun collaborating together!
