The Instinct for Beauty

"There is something instinctive within us urging us to seek beauty in our homes and to make our personal appearance attractive. It is a natural desire which frequently turns us all into artists."—Art in Home and Clothing, 1936

Beauty can be found . . .

. . . in an old beaker filled with paintbrushes . . .

. . . on a bookshelf . . .

. . . in the tools of the trade . . .

. . . in the face of a small, loveable beast . . .

. . . in a jar of paperclips . . .

. . . in a poorly executed creation that makes you proud anyway . . .

. . . in a bowl full of treasures you and your child found on walks . . .



. . . and in some hastily made curtains from your fabric stash.

Beauty can be found anywhere. Now go find some in your home.
