The Soulful Home Isn't a Style
"Soulful" has become a filter you apply to a room, next to "cozy" and "eclectic" — a look, achievable in one order. But soul in a home isn't an aesthetic....
The Tallmadge Ave Story
Tallmadge Ave began as a real street, a place one of us grew up, and the home we both keep trying to find our way back to.
So we look for objects that have already lived a life: the brass, the porcelain, the embroidered linen that warmed someone else's rooms first.
Each one comes to us having proven it was worth keeping. Now it's waiting for its next home, maybe yours.
Pat McCarthy Hydrangea Watercolor in Raspberry Jasperware Urn.
A 20" x 18" signed original watercolor by Pat McCarthy: a full head of pale hydrangeas spilling from a raspberry-pink jasperware urn, its white neoclassical figures caught mid-procession around the bowl.
The kind of small, careful painting that used to hang in a front hall or above a writing desk, the sort of thing someone chose once and never had reason to move.
Set in an antique gilt frame with a beaded inner edge and a linen mat, the gold gone soft and honeyed with age. The pink of the urn does all the work here, warm against the cool greens and creams of the flowers.
Hang it where you'll pass it every day. Homes are meant to be assembled slowly, and this is a piece to start with.

Vintage Frame Still Life w/ Lemons. Oil on Board
Somebody painted these lemons because the light was good and the afternoon was long, and that used to be reason enough.
It's oil on board, 16" by 20": lemons and green leaves beside a weathered
silver pitcher, the brushwork loose, the background quiet. The kind of
painting that makes a kitchen feel like it has a memory.

Shafford Ceramic Mallard Figurines, Pair — Japan
Every den had a pair of ducks somewhere — up on the shelf above the good chair, mid-takeoff and going nowhere, part of the furniture of somebody's afternoons.
This pair are Shafford mallard drakes, made in Japan: green heads, white collars, wings caught in the second before flight, each one glazed by hand on its own rocky base.
They don't do anything. They just hold a corner and make a room feel a little more like a place you remember.
Pair of Shafford ceramic mallard figurines, Japan. Sold as a set. $90.
