For over three decades Pineapple House has been altering, repairing and updating our client’s existing pieces of furniture. In 1991, we created an Art Department to assist our designers in creating unique pieces for our clients. We offer eco-friendly paint alternatives with no or low VOC’s as well as faux finishes and plaster techniques. Our art department also restores antiques, refinishes cabinetry, upgrades walls and ceiling and uses wood-graining techniques to create the look of exotic and endangered wood.

At Pineapple House, our artists have reworked over 22,000 tons of furniture, resurfaced 26,000 square feet of walls and ceilings and recycled over 43,000 tons of seating. By recycling the client’s furniture we hope to bring new life to existing pieces.  This is one of the ways that Pineapple House has embraced conservation and sustainability.  Take a look at some of our reworked pieces below.

To learn more about Pineapple House’s Art Department please call us at 404-897-5551 or email us at info@pineapplehouse.com.

We wanted to highlight a new global platform showcasing artists and artisans from around the world created by the eco-conscious National Geographic. The National Geographic Society has been inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888 and their NOVICA project is inspiring people to care about others.

National Geographic hopes “ to create a bridge between you and the many talented artisans across the globe. In the spirit of the Internet, let us bring you together.”

These items and more are for sale via NOVICA.

Earlier this month when Margaret Russell made the switch as Editor-in-Chief of Elle Décor to Editor-in-Chief of Architectural Digest it left a void at Elle Décor. Michael Boodro was made “interim editor” on August 5^th and today he officially became the new Editor-in-Chief of Elle Décor.

Michael was the Executive Editor of Elle Décor from 2004-2006, and later rejoined ELLE DECOR in 2009 after leaving Martha Stewart Living where he was Editor-in-Chief.  He is a Yale graduate and has previously worked as an editor of the Style Section for The New York Times Magazine; Editor-in-Chief of Garden Design Magazine and Features Editor for Vogue.  Mr. Boodro has also held editorial positions at Harper’s Bazaar and GQ.

Vicky Lowry will become the new Executive Editor at Elle Décor. Anita Sarsidi has been promoted to Design Director and Florentino Pamintuan has been named Creative Director. “We are confident the magazine will continue to flourish under their vision and leadership” said Robin Domeniconi, Senior Vice President, Chief Brand Officer, Elle Group.

It is great to see that Elle Décor has chosen to promote from within the magazine. What do you think of the change?
