JUSTINE STERLING DESIGN

Discovering home is more than my tagline: it’s the essence of my design philosophy.

Home is not a showroom. It is a tapestry of adventure, memories, and experiences.

Being able to combine both function and aesthetic is the holy grail of all designers. For us, a job well done is when we create a balance of form, function, and feeling.

I am numb. I just read a fellow designers note th I am numb. I just read a fellow designers note that a follower said that they were un-following her because of her political views. This says it all. Does that person really think that by saying that designers like myself can only post what is pretty out there, we should ignore the vast inequality that still exists in our world? I sat my children down yesterday and showed them the timeline on the murder of George Floyd. I tried my best to explain what is happening and why people may be rioting. My voice on Instagram is mine, and yes, it is not typically political, nor am I a place to get your political news. This is a place to share my work, tidbits on life, and it is often the highlight reel showing the best parts of week or day. But to ignore what is happening at a time like this is so wrong. I grew up in Apartheid South Africa and the discrimination that so many of us inflicted (often unknowingly as kids), accepting the status quo with people of color having to use different bathrooms as a mild example still makes me cringe. It is absurd. It is not human. It makes me ill to my stomach. This hits home a little close for me too as my full time employee is black and I am feeling her pain and fear, today more than ever. Yes, I struggle with what to say as I will never know or understand the hurt, fear and sadness that this daily struggle brings. Our office is in Melrose, MA, and this letter from our Mayor, Superintendent and Police chief sent a glimmer of hope that we can be united on our stand to work harder on ourselves and expressing our views to educate our children and others. X0 Justine .....”We all would like to believe that such a tragedy would not occur in our country today... We do not have all the answers, but we do know where to begin. We need to begin the hard and uncomfortable work necessary to confront our own implicit biases and our institutional biases. We need to have difficult conversations with ourselves, our family and friends, and those in the powerful positions who guard the status quo. “ Excerpt from letter. Was too long to post all on IG. #georgefloyd #blacklivesmatter✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
