The Rise of TUSCH AND SNUGGLE!

Although it no longer exists as a conceptual entity, it's interesting to discover that people are still stumbling upon this blog while researching our current projects. 

Established in 2006 by me (Blake), working with a rotating group of artists, The Grocery was a creative design label that boasted a diverse houseline of products, including printed silk scarves, bespoke tops, prints, and design objects.

Our Awesome Kitchen!!!

If you haven't been following either of Zoe or I on instagram (and you really should, btw), you may not have heard about our most recent project.  We hated the walls in our kitchen, which were plastered with faded, stained pages from an outdated atlas.  So, we decided to make and install our own wallpaper!  The design is a pattern of glitter and rock candy.  To create the pattern, we scanned in actual pieces of candy & glitter, so the wallpaper has a really cool 3-D effect to it.
