This Thing Called Family - By DEMDACO, and Us!

One of the highlights of our open house last weekend was getting to share our new Demdaco collection with all of our guests!  We are beyond excited to be able to share it with all of you here too!  There are 48 pieces in the collection, but there was only a limited amount of space at our open house, so we had a tough time narrowing it down to our favorites!  Here's what we showed everyone on Saturday - 14 pieces - just a sampling of the entire line.

 

Our collection consists of wall art and home decor items, all centering around the theme of Family Values.  You all know we're ALL about family.  So we used some of our most popular sentiments and ideas and the things that really speak to us about the importance of home and togetherness.  We hope you all will find something that speaks to you and your family life too.

There are metal and wood sculptural pieces like the owl and flower on the left, and dimensional wall art as well.

There are fabric wall hangings like this house below that use a variety of fabrics and textures including burlap, wool and cotton.  Everything is stitched around very much funly.  (I don't know how else to describe it- my grammar is escaping me, THAT'S how excited I am!)

 There are pillows like this polka dotted cutie.  It made us squeal the first time we saw it.  Yes, sometimes polka dots make us squeal.  And little ornaments with wings hung by wire.  We love how they made these dimensional.  They layered the word on top of the heart, on top of the house so that there are different levels.  It's these authentic details that make us so proud of this collection:

One of our favorite, FAVORITE things about the collection are the 3 lazy susans like this "Count Your Blessings" one.   Why WOULDN'T you want one of these as your family's kitchen table centerpiece?! (There is also a 'Family Rules' one and a "Table Manners" one!)  And don't even get us started on the owl door stopper!  He's weighted, so he stands just about anywhere!

Another metal and wood heart sculpture and behind it a tree that we love.  They made the tree trunk out of metal and curved it slightly off of the base. 

There are 3 big 'anchor pieces' - big wall art like the Family Rules below.   Some of the letters and sections are raised.  SO much fun!  The other anchor pieces are "Count Your Blessings" and "Table Manners" and match the lazy susans!

This owl has metal wings, beak, feet and eyelids that are dimensional, as well as the words.  He is also outlined with wire!  We love him!

 There are several mirrors in our collection and here's one of our favorites:

We love that DEMDACO stayed so authentic to what we created.  They made sure that the collection had lots of dimension, detail and texture.  These pictures truly do NOT do it justice.  We're thrilled with how it turned out, and hope you will be too!

There is SO much more to show you:  more wall art in all kinds of sizes, more mirrors, more pillows, more fabric wall hangings.  THESE are just our very favoritest.  Because they're ALL our favorites, but THESE are the favoritest of our favorites.  :-)

We'll try to post pictures of everything else soon!
