From Town Favorites magazine
this month, the spotlight artist article is on Jody Hammett, the owner of Après. The article highlights the
stores as well as how Jody is using the
Amy Howard At Home products in his store to have workshops to teach others..
Jody has told me “I use the products daily, whether it is painting
an old piece of furniture or creating something new, and I'm always
helping my friends decide what to "Amy Howard" next.”

Striped Interiors
Recently, stripes have been quite popular to energize an
interior. Stripes create dimension and
add an element of design to any interior or product where they are applied.
Oftentimes, interior design reflects that of what is going
on in the fashion industry and since stripes have been trending, you will also
see them also popular within an interior space.

Stripes
“To stripe a surface serves to distinguish it, to point it out,
to oppose it or associate it with another surface, and thus to classify it, to
keep an eye on it, to verify it, even to censor it. “
Throughout time, the stripe has had significance to society in a
variety of ways. “From prisoners' uniforms to tailored suits, a street sign to
a set of sheets, Pablo Picasso to Saint Joseph, stripes have always made a bold
statement. But the boundary that separates the good stripe from the bad is
often blurred. Why, for instance, were stripes associated with the devil during
the Middle Ages? How did stripes come to symbolize freedom and unity after the
American and French revolutions?”
