In this week's instalment of #TheMakers, we tour Chelsae Anne Sahlman's (@chelsaeanne) regal #Florida home.
You don’t have to own your home to make your home your own. Case in point: photographer and stylist @chelsaeanne’s showstopping studio space in West Palm Beach, Florida, which she shares with her husband, and “biggest creative influence,” artist Evan Sahlman (@evansahlman). Dubbed ‘Sahlman Studio Loft’, the creative couple have spent just over two and a half years designing, building, and styling their dream home – which also happens to be a rental.
Every surface and shelf in the Sahlman Studio Loft pays homage to the handmade, with the showstopping living room bookshelves filled with found treasures fit for a museum. “We try to fill our home and space only with what we love and adore. It has become a grand collection of art books, sculptures and vintage and antique furniture we get to surround ourselves with and draw inspiration from,” Chelsae Anne says.
Chelsae and Evan’s love of natural materials – "Stone and clay and soft linens and canvas” – is evident throughout every inch of the space. In the kitchen, reclaimed wood and buttery marble have their moment amidst a cement sink with brass hardware.
Every design decision conveys contemplation and authenticity – there are no afterthoughts here. “I wanted our studio loft to be the epitome of form meets function." Chelsae shares with Bed Threads Journal.
