January 17, 2010

Back in 2004 I purchased an old fix-'er-upper in Pittsburgh, PA. Memories of my former home were awakened when I stumbled upon design duo Paul Roden + Valerie Lueth of Tugboat Print Shop's detached row house, as they were once practically my neighbors. This weekend's featured Get the Look: Decor functions as the couple's studio, storefront and printing and framing shop while retaining the warmth and homeyness of a well-built 100-year-old home.

When it comes to decorating, Paul and Valerie say they're "mostly old-timey and folksy with a dash of modern flair. We like old, heavy furniture that lends itself well to being used in a studio environment — pieces that are natural and sturdy, made of earthen materials (wood, fabric, clay, glass, metal, etc.) and are not so precious and unmarred that they can't take a little daily workout."

Visit Paul and Valerie on Flickr to view more images of their creative home or browse the Tugboat Print Shop blog for beautiful photos of their woodblock prints and home studio. Be sure to check out the Etsy Finds below for creative decorating ideas that will add an artistic spin to the place you call home.
