5 out of 5 starsThis was lovely! I was encouraged to buy from Maine sellers by @TiffanyBond as part of her #MaineRaising campaign. She's running for Senate but instead of asking for donations, she's asking fans to buy from Maine's small businesses. Great idea.. and good product! Thanks

5 out of 5 starsI contacted Blenda to see if she could make a Sanibel Island night light for me. The next day she sent me a picture of what it would look like. I ordered it and received in just a few days. I love it!!! Every time I turn it on I think of my happy place. Beautiful product & exceptional customer service! Thank you Blenda!

5 out of 5 starsI ordered this nightlight for my mother-in-law (who adores nightlights and Mount Desert Island immensely) and because it was a birthday gift, I had asked Blenda if she could add a gift message to the package. She responded immediately and instead of just adding a simple note, she included a lovely birthday note handwritten on beautiful handmade paper. My mother-in-law absolutely loved the gift. I'm so thankful to Blenda for making it even more special with her thoughtfulness!

Nightlights, Switch Plates, Lampshades... We find inspiration in the little things.
First, introductions are in order! We, John (Derrick) Towers and myself, Blenda Risteen, are a brother and sister team. We co-own and operate our business, The Orange Chair Studio, in Rockland, Maine - the beautiful and inspiring coastal town we call home.
One of my favorite "chores" is searching for new materials for my creations. I especially love flipping through stacks of the colorful sheets of artisan quality decorative papers we use for our night lights and switch plates. I like to imagine how the different thicknesses, patterns, and textures will translate into three-dimensional pieces and what they'll look like with light shining through them, etc. Once home, these newly found treasures continue to spark creativity, as the bright, cheerful, and usually messy, projects and paper scraps help "decorate" my happily-chaotic mess I call a studio!
I hope the joy I have in creating each item shows in the final product, and brings with it a little spark of creativity and whimsy to it's new home.
Cheers,
Blenda
