My mother would often tell me during my teenage years that I have "champagne taste on a beer budget." While I do not care for either champagne or beer, she was correct. I valued and yearned for items that were made of quality, had substance, and stood for something.

This continues to be the case today. When I need a product or service, I consistently want an item that is the BEST quality and will LAST the test of time. This is often the most expensive offering.

Through my shop Chenuzatelier, I strive to curate and display the very best of the past. Not only has it lasted the test of time, it is of substance and quality, and won't break the bank.

That same dedication to timeless quality was recognized when I was selected as a finalist in the Etsy Design Awards — a moment that validated everything I aim to do at Chenuz Atelier: honour the old, showcase the beautiful, and make it accessible.

Cheers/Santé!
