We love the idea of painting your own switch plates to add personality to your home! Thank you for including Handz On Art in your Designer picks, Olivia. 💜

We have a copy of the magazine in the studio. Check it out next time you come in!

In the Spring Issue of Michigan Home and Lifestyle Magazine, our Olivia writes about The Art of a Charming Home as the featured guest designer! She shares that interiors with charm are curated with intention over time and encourages readers to stay ‘Cool, Calm & Collected’ when outfitting their spaces — Curate a home that is distinctly ‘you’ by incorporating what you deem to be cool. Enhance the sense of calm in order to unwind and feel at ease. Tell the story of your life by showcasing your collected and treasured items.

– Olivia's Designer's Choices are a collection of artisan-made goods, repurposed decor, dimensional materials & suggestions to curate a sincere space of your own. She includes some of her favorite items from Antiquities Warehouse of Grand Traverse along with local artists and makers Mariah Manning, Handz On Art and Lake Ann Barnwood among other global creators.

We are thrilled to be featured in this wonderful issue & are so proud of Olivia! If you aren’t already subscribed to MH&L, you can pick up a copy of the magazine on a Michigan newsstand near you, at an HBA Home Show, or locally in our showroom.

HOURS UPDATE 🫟

Today, Tuesday 12/30 the studio will be OPEN 11am-3pm.

We are well into the holiday season! Here are our December hours & deadlines for painting and pickups.

We did our best to build a schedule that gives you options to enjoy time painting in the studio and allows Julie some days off to rest and spend with family.

🗓️ If you are hoping to paint Christmas gifts, plan for Sunday, December 14th to be the last day to paint pottery + have your finished items ready for pickup before the holiday. Note: turnaround time is typically 7-10 days, but Julie will work her magic to get it all glazed and fired and finished for you if you paint by the 14th. (Everyone send good vibes and say nice things to the kilns 🔥)

🎁 We will be open on Monday, December 22nd 11am-6pm for those last minute pickups.

🖌 The following week, we'll open on Tuesday, December 30th to give you another day of painting during holiday break.

*We will update our hours across the web, but please refer to this lovely calendar for the most accurate schedule.

Hope to see you soon! Happy Holidays! 🎨❄️🎄
