upon entering the cool mysterious expanse of the hallway, i immediately feel compelled to greet the spirits that dwell in the darkness. this place is inhabited not only by all who’ve made it their home, but also by those who’ve spent any meaningful time here. the creative energy of april’s strong circle has seeped into the carpets, settled into the cracks between the floorboards; it dances in the air particles, is filtered through diffused light.
the house’s history is literally written on the walls. the late-nineteenth-century stenciling and frescoes that were a dominant decorative element long before april arrived — astoundingly — been concealed by layers of paint. when april’s family unearthed the artwork, it was literally a revelation. this graceful, evocative decoration provides an exquisite backdrop to what goes way beyond collection: this is sheer creation. mercury glass reflects, mirrored orbs glow, satin pillows shimmer, and moroccan rugs weave their spell and tell the story of just some of the places april’s seen.
like the beautiful amber that washed up on her father’s land long ago, amazingly beautiful things seem to make their way to april. she burnishes them, cherishes them, gives them new meaning through context. the business cards on her desk aptly identify her calling: they read, simply, “april chapman, keeper”.
