Interior designer Leanne Ford’s FEEL FREE magazine is a quarterly arts-inspired home design magazine that shows how creative people live and work, how artists play, and how you, the reader, can do the same.
In this fifth issue, we embrace “failure,” because without failure, there is no progress! We start with a creative conversation with actor, writer, producer, and director Rashida Jones—a multi-hyphenate success story who nonetheless loves to be bad at new things. You’ll tour: a gorgeous home in the hills of northern California and learn how that landscape inspires artist Carolyn Kelly; a beautiful beach house/art studio on Fire Island that informs James Perkins’ natural creations; and quirkily rustic restored rail cars in the English countryside.
Also included are new how-to’s, like how to weave a beautiful basket from Underwater Weaving founder Erin Powell, how to create your own floral arrangement (a 101 from Fox and the Fleur owner Anne Dickson), and other fun ideas to get creativity stirring—straight from the creators’ mouths. There also is an excerpt from designer Jake Arnold’s book and in-depth stories on Two Faced Ceramics and Totem Home.
This fifth issue includes a behind-the-scenes look at the commercial photo shoot behind Leanne’s new Crate and Barrel line, styled by none other than our own style director Hilary Robertson. Finally, we wouldn’t forget our Free $.99 section, this time focusing on what to do with salvaged marble—plus more “free” art that readers can tear out to hang on their walls.
FEEL FREE magazine curates a space where readers can experience a collaboration of creation. Joyful, elevated, and funky, fun, and undone, FEEL FREE magazine breaks down interior design and artistic processes, and gives them back to the people.
FEEL FREE magazine will give the reader the rules and the confidence to break them all!
