Pasadena Heritage
Craftsman Weekend


FallingLeavesRoom Fireplace&Desk View

Back in October, we exhibited at Pasadena Heritage's Craftsman Weekend.   The road trip down to California in the fall is a joy. If you've never done it before, the drive through Oregon, all the way down to Southern California is a worthy trip. Not only is our state beautiful, but, rural California is rich in breath taking scenery.  Once we were in Pasadena, we had a great show!


http://www.cjhurley.com/interiors/index.phpSetting up Falling Leaves takes a full two days, and is a pretty exhausting endeavor.  We exhibit just a few times a year, and the Pasadena Show is one of our personal favorites -- boasting a beautiful town, a well-organized exhibition, quality exhibitors, and idyllic weather! We'd like to thank everyone who visited us at the show and made our efforts worthwhile. Your support and feedback are most appreciated.

We enjoyed seeing past clients, meeting new people, and visiting with our colleagues -- whom we don't see very often.


Above:  Warmth, comfort, and intimacy are combined with graceful details in this deeply spiritual & symbolic room dedicated to the beauty of nature. The Falling Leaves roomset shows how truly uplifting a totally hand-crafted Arts & Crafts living space can be. A view of the mantle wall, portiered doorway, and corner seat of Falling Leaves shows the breadth of CJ's work, and an array of exquisite detail.

Below:  Past the bookcase front of the Library table, a view opens to the fireplace and it's focal point, the "Origins" gesso panel and the frieze, "The First Leaf of Fall".
