Taken from the Michael Fitzsimmons Arts and Crafts Furnishings Store Web site:
Believe in goodness
Trust in life
Embrace beauty
Practice kindness
Frank Lloyd Wright's fireplace in his Oak Park home has "Life is Truth" stenciled above it. Stencil one of those over your fireplace.
Is this pretentious? I want to think of a name for our new house. You know, like "Ragdale" in Lake Forest. Somehow it's a lot harder to come up with a name for a 1958 colonial on the curve of a cul de sac than it is for an Arts and Crafts mansion. Hmmm. Also I wouldn't mind carving the four sets of initials of my family members into the legs of our kitchen table/island, as architect Howard Van Doren Shaw did at Ragdale. I can hear my husband now: "detrimental to resale value."
It's so challenging to be artsy-craftsy these days.
