Cedar, inside and out - a natural beauty.

〰️

Because I’ve sided moonwave in cedar inside and out, the use of paint was minimal - just on the cabinets in the apartment, in an effort to reduce use of synthetic materials. I built this apartment specifically for chemically sensitive people and those who want to be surrounded by natural materials. But in this process I have learned that cedar inherently has a high VOC count, coming from the properties that give it its natural anti-fungal properties and so much more goodness. But this is something to be aware of if you are highly sensitive to VOC’s - the smell of the cedar inside may be too much for you.

Always my favorite place in a home - where nurturing, nourishing, gathering and conversations abound.

I designed moonwaves kitchen to be soft and inspiring, to evoke feelings of being in nature, surrounded by materials of the earth.

The cabinet boxes were destined for the dump from a friends neighbors house, but were perfectly well-made and undamaged maple with outdated fronts. I rented a uhaul and saved them, and @nolson86 made new fronts for them which @jayneish and I painted. It’s in my dna to hold onto things and give them new life, and feels wildly important to reuse materials right now. All the newness is killing us. And it’s not like reusing needs to be the perspective of an entire build, but aspects of it can make a positive impact on reducing waste and the need to produce more. I feel the same way about my company @frankieandjos - no one has to choose a 100% vegan diet, but why not choose reducing dependence on animals for one aspect of a meal or celebration through vegan ice cream? Food for thought. Anyways, yay for delicious kitchens ❤️ by @stayatmoonwave

Moonwave ~

I have so much to say about this build…the seed that was planted long ago, the years it took before the flower grew, the wild amounts of sun, rain, sheer strength it took before she bared the fruits of our labor…how it almost broke me, many times over.

So much. But for later!

Because now I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who brought this garage/studio/apartment to life.
