We Were Here Studios Update

Back in February I posted about the birth of We Were Here Studios... a combination of my ever-evolving interests and the crazy skillz of my best friend, Stacey Smith. I thought it was time to update about our venture! We Were Here is now in a shop in Tacoma! Stacey's artwork made its debut at the Design Cottage   about two months ago. Her artwork varies from vintage classic to cottage contemporary. Almost all of the supplies used to create her one-of-a-kind pieces are repurposed materials from architectural features to driftwood. But enough words... let me brag by photo :)


1) The frame on this hand-painted piece is a salvaged drawer with burlap stretched to create a make-shift canvas
2) Vintage illustration creatively adhered to a 100-year-old architectural redwood plinth.
3) Hand-painted local pride Proctor Tacoma sign on a repurposed cabinet door
4) Hand-painted "to the BEACH" sign painted on hand-picked driftwood from Cannon Beach
