The shop

The prints we sell are the ones this house would hang — drawn the old way, fine etched lines under a muted watercolour wash, on an aged cream ground that looks like it spent fifty years in a drawer. Everything is printable: buy the set, print it at home or at the print-shop counter, and put it in a frame the thrift shop gave up on. Both sets live in our Etsy shop as instant downloads, and prices are in Canadian dollars.

The Heritage Kitchen · six studies · CA$19

Three of the six kitchen studies in dark wood frames on a deep green wall, hung above glass-front cupboards of stoneware — the copper stock pot, the hearth kettle, and a jug with cup and bowl, each etched under a soft watercolour wash on aged cream paper

Six studies of the working kitchen: a copper stock pot worn kind by years of use, a bundle of sage and thyme tied with twine, a braided garlic plait, heirloom carrots, a stoneware crock of wooden spoons, and a brass balance weighing two quinces. They hang as a row over open shelving or scatter through the kitchen one quiet wall at a time, and every print comes in every size — 5x7 through 20x30, A4 and A3 included — as 300-dpi files with a short print guide.

The Kept House · twelve studies · CA$39

Ten of the twelve studies hung as a gallery wall on deep green plaster above a worn armchair and a basket of wool — the kettle, folded quilts, an oil lamp, a jug of dried flowers, a windsor chair, a mantel clock, an iron key over a teacup, stacked books, a candlestick, and an enamel pitcher

Twelve still lifes of the things a cottage keeps: the kettle, a stack of patchwork quilts, an oil lamp, the door's own iron key, a jug of dried hydrangeas, a painted windsor chair, a mantel clock, a worn floral teacup, clothbound books under reading glasses, a candlestick in dripped beeswax, a chipped enamel pitcher, and a willow basket of wool. One hand, one palette — deep moss, umber, patinated brass and hearth red — so they keep company as a gallery wall or one to a room. Same sizes, same instant files.

The free packs

The walls start free here. The amber autumn pack is six seasonal prints for the September-to-November shift, and the free cottage prints are botanicals in the same low register — both arrive by email, printed at home for the price of the sheet.

How they're made, plainly

Every print is designed in this house's hand with modern image tools — the concept, the direction, and the final selection are ours, and each study is drawn to our brief, then chosen and finished for its set. There's more on that on the About page. The sets are for personal use in your own home; the files may not be resold or redistributed.
