Good Morning Friends,
The arts and Crafts Movement is a piece of our history and unless we keep it alive and carry on the hands crafted pieces of the era it will get lost in todays modern throw together junk that is being sold for furniture. It is up the the makers of hand made furniture to assure that this does not happen. We need to have A&C Fairs where we can show our pieces to the public and try to regenerate the interest in the A&C furniture. We must also make the furniture that can be affordable to everyone and not just those who can afford them. This was a problem the William Morris had when he started to produce his furniture, as only the rich could afford the pieces.

Think about helping to keep the A&C alive and active.

Respectfully,

Ralph Jones

Hello Mr. Jones,

We are currently building a new home and will have an A&C flavor, not sure if the home is a true A&C style (two story w/ some A&C home features). My question is about bathroom plumbing fixtures. Just not sure what style to consider. Delta offers several models, (victorian, leyland and one other that looks like a tea pot.)

Do you have any suggestions? We like chrome & stainless steel finishes.

Thanks, Rick Miller.
