Meet The Bailey’s: Wood Mosaic Artists, Dog Lovers, and Pun Aficionados – Duluth, MN

OUR PROMISE

We find beauty in the weathered, discarded, and worn, creating handcrafted wood art that adds cozy warmth and inviting personality to any room. Whether you’re hanging one of our pieces in your home, visiting our store, staying in our loft or simply saying hello to us on the street, we want to bring simplicity and peace to your busy life.

 

Handcrafted wood mosaics to warm any home: It all starts with the wood. We find lumber with a legacy, a story buried in the grain. Then, we cut, design and assemble our pieces to tell that story through pattern, texture and color.

SHOP

Once fueled cars, now fuels art: We’ve transformed and revitalized a 1930s-era gas station nestled in the historic Spirit Valley neighborhood of West Duluth into a warm, comforting place where you can browse, buy and even bunk.

Creative artist, structured stud = one crafty duo: I discovered I really loved making things in 2014. This was about the same time I discovered the things I loved making were things people wanted to buy. I started with furniture, but it was the mosaic wall art that I made from the scraps of my furniture projects that really took off, quickly becoming a full-time business for me and my husband, Nathanael.

 

Now, we’ve expanded our team to ten (not including our two shop dogs), and we’ve been able to build a life around providing warmth, comfort and inspiration for others.

Yes, we’re big dreamers. Yes, we’re risk takers. But we’re not chasing money. Success, to us, is a life spent loving what we do. It’s in creating a gathering place for our community at our shop. And it’s in bringing calm and simplicity to every life we can.

We hope to see you soon,

Anna and Nathanael

Summer Ahead at the Walker: Injecting a contemporary reckoning—hopefulness and hopelessness, joy and loss—into a clarion call of creative music now, the concert features a bandleader unafraid to pull from the vast history of American jazz, improvisation, and experimental music. Progressive composer jaimie branch, whether soft and pleading or brash and seething as she sounds her trumpet or her voice, helms her quartet (Chad Taylor drums, Jason Ajemian bass, and Lester St. Louis cello) with unflinching conviction. Her last two releases wowed fans and critics alike with her FLY or DIE II: Bird Dogs of Paradise scoring a top 10 spot in NPR’s 2019 records of the year.

39 Oversized House Dresses For Summer Comfort 2021

Refinery29: Sweatpants and a hoodie might have been the quintessential lockdown look, but with the warm weather out in full force — and reason to hope for some semblance of normality on the horizon — it’s clear that we’re all in need of an easy outfit upgrade. Though we might not be battling sweltering train rides as much as usual this spring and summer, the change in temperature still calls for a style overhaul, which sadly means putting the heavier joggers to the back of the closet for another year.
Don’t panic, we aren’t suggesting going back to normal clothes just yet (who even remembers what jeans feel like?). Instead, we recommend something light, loose and suitably comfortable to see you through sunnier days. The answer? A good ol’ fashioned house dress. We aren’t talking about restrictive bodices and heavy fabrics, either: these light and airy and sometimes sustainable creations give your body breathing space as temperatures begin to rise.
Whether it’s wafting through the kitchen as you bake something wonderful or twirling around the garden as you drink something lovely, the house dress is here to solve all your comfort conundrums. We’ve gathered the best easy-to-wear dresses on the market to help you keep cool and comfy as we step into a new season, so click through to find frocks made for both indoor and outdoor life.
