EN's Artist-In-Residence: Tom Judd at The West Collection / January 28, 2015 by Kelly Ennis

Tom Judd's 'The Hermit Project' is an intimate experience. Enter into a small, meticulously constructed room and into someone else's life. The space is currently open at The West Collection in Oaks, PA. Definitely worth the drive up the Schuylkill. At any given time, this location hosts over one thousand different works of art from amazing artists. Congratulations to EN's artist-in-residence, Tom Judd, for an another creation that encourages us ponder and explore!

Here are a few other artist's pieces from EN's visit last Thursday:

El Dorado by Hew Locke

Unknown Artist

10 Composers by Long-Bin Chen

Restraint by Faig Ahmed

Dining Table by Michael Beitz

Opening Party: Spirit Animal @ 3580 IQL / November 12, 2014 by Kelly Ennis

The converted 1800's historic church that we work in is creative and occasionally lighthearted.

In October, neighboring video production tenant, Spirit Animal, hosted an Opening Party and welcomed other 3580 IQL tenants to join in their celebration.

Naturally, the EN staff rocked the photo booth!

Sourcing Trip: Adamstown, PA / March 11, 2014 by Kelly Ennis

This weekend I, Elizabeth, was in Adamstown, PA inspecting new places for inspiration and unique items for our projects. I visited Adamstown Antiques Mall and Madhatters Antiques. This visit I found mostly smaller items and accessories, and I found a few similar collections at both places.

Mid-Century Modern

Mixing Retro and Dutch Inspired Servingwear

(We were in PA Dutch country after all)

A meta lightbulb? Inseptilamp?

for a groovy time: just add grill

Your work ethic can light up the world!

I think the sink is a great example of ugly/beautiful

Jesus Christ, Superstar...

Start your kids off right

I love this radio. Period

I would love to have this in my collection, but I don't think I would be comfortable using it because of it's wear

I wanted all of these!

Now I know where to go to match my vintage toaster!

Can this be my pattern?

I love that the utensils are just floating in space.

...I will not spend money...

Classic Pieces

Animal Accessories

I was a little surprised at how few furniture pieces stood out to me this trip, but don't worry I'll post from a few other spots that I know are packed full of great finds.

beautiful caning!

replated these curtain tiebacks would be amazing!

I little more mission style but a piece that could span across a few different styles

I thought this guy was great, but after seeing two others I was less impressed.

This panting creeped me out a little.

just a nice piece

Don't worry, it's a form for a mounted deer, not an actual deer.

I have no problem finding cats

Ennis Nehez visits Groundworks / February 26, 2014 by Kelly Ennis

Val, Trudy, and Elizabeth took an afternoon to explore the Groundworks studio in a converted bakery and talk with owner / craftsmen / visionaries Brian Foster and Ernie Sesskin. Brian and Ernie make incredible, handcrafted furniture in their Philadelphia shop, which we had the great pleasure of visiting on February 5.

Check out their amazing work on the web at http://groundworkhome.com/ and below for photos of our afternoon at Groundworks.
